1. FURNACE
The furnace in your KZRV does need some normal maintenance
attention, preferably once each spring, just before you begin your
summer camping season.
It’s best to have your selling dealer or a qualified service techni-
cian perform such an inspection. Your dealer may have a “spring
special” to perform such inspections.
Particular attention needs to be given to the following items:
1. Exterior vents must be free from obstructions and properly
vented to the atmosphere.
Examine also for any insects which may have entered, built
nests which will cause improper operation. When you find “soot”
around your vent it indicates incomplete combustion or contami-
nated fuel. If such soot is present contact a qualified service
center.
2. Inside the furnace cabinet:
(a) Inspect areas around combustion chamber for any cracks or
leaks causing the flow of exhaust gas being expelled into
coach.
(b) Inspect and test any propane connections and lines for
signs of leakage.
(c) Inspect any and all gaskets for leakage or deterioration.
Replace if damaged. Any furnace is safe only when there is
no leakage from heat chamber.
(d) Inspect return air inlet openings to furnace compartment.
The furnace cannot operate if return air is restricted from air
flow. DO NOT store any items around furnace. Return air
panel is installed in front of furnace to prevent storage
around furnace. DO NOT BLOCK this panel.
You, as the owner/user, should inspect the furnace monthly
during the heating season
for presence of soot on vent. Operating

WARNING
!
Do not install screens over the vent for any reason. Screens will
become restricted and cause unsafe furnace operation. Accessories
are being marketed for RV products which we do not recommend. For
your safety, only factory authorized parts are to be used on your
furnace.
