C ooking With Propane Gas
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreation
vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will help you avoid the
danger of asphyxiation.
It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as
the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of
time. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The following warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind the user to provide
an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
