CAMPING & OPERATING

The refrigerator is not intended for quick
freezing or cooling. We recommend stocking
it with pre-frozen or pre-cooled food when
possible. The shelves should not be covered
with paper or plastic and the food items
should be arranged so air can circulate freely.
Keep the area at the back of the refrigerator
clean and free of debris. Check for
obstructions in the exterior refrigerator vent
area (i.e., spider webs, bird nests, etc). Use a
soft cloth to dust off the debris.
For optimum efficiency and performance, it is
recommended the refrigerator be checked at
least twice a year as part of the routine
maintenance.

Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to
collect around top burners or on the cook top
surface. Clean spills immediately. If a fire
does start, follow these basic safety rules:
‰
Execute your family safety plan.
‰
After everyone is clear and accounted for,
check the fire to see if you can attempt to
put it out. If the fire is large or fuel-fed, get
clear of the RV. Have the Fire Department
handle the emergency.
‰
Try to smother a flaming pan with a tight-
fitting lid or cookie sheet.
‰
Never pick up a flaming pan.
‰
Flaming grease outside of the pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.

Unlike a house, the oxygen supply inside an
RV is limited. To avoid the danger of
asphyxiation, provide proper ventilation when
using the stove (also referred to as a range or
cook top) or oven. Do not remove the
following labels from your RV:
Fig. 11.3 Cooking / comfort heating label
Fig. 11.4 Ensure a supply of fresh air label
Do not attempt to use water to put out the
fire. Water can spread some types of fire,
and electrocution is possible with an
electrical fire.
Do not use portable fuel burning
equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal grills or
stoves) inside the RV.
Do not turn the gas range burner controls
ON and allow propane to escape before
lighting.
