Clean the return air filters frequently. They are located inside the
motorhome behind the intake vent covers. Firmly grasp the leading edge and
push back on both tabs. Never run the air conditioner without the return
air filters in place. Dust and other particles will plug the evaporator core
and substantially reduce the performance of the air conditioners.
To Clean:
• Wash filters in warm soapy water. Do not use solvents.
• Rinse filters thoroughly with fresh water. Allow them to dry.
• Install filters and secure the covers.
The furnace and related components are 12 Volt DC operated, using
LP-Gas as the fuel source. Electronic circuitry (automatic ignition) is used to
ignite the burner. The furnace uses outside air for the burner
combustion and exhaust is expelled through the outside vent. Inside air is
drawn into the furnace and blown across the internal heat exchanger. Heated air
is then discharged through ducted hoses which can be run throughout the
motorhome.
CAUTION: Do not store any items/materials in furnace
area. Restricted air flow may hamper furnace operation
leading to failure and/or fire hazard.
WARNING: IF YOU SMELL GAS extinguish all open flames
and turn off the main gas supply. Liquid propane is a highly
volatile, extremely dangerous gas. It can explode or ignite,
which may result in property damage, injury or death.
Propane is "heavy" and can "float" on the floor or "hide" in
corners. Open all windows and doors. Do not touch electrical
switches. They may spark, which can ignite. Keep all open
flames, spark producing devices and smoking material out of
the area. Contact a qualified service center to have the
problem correctly diagnosed and repaired before resuming
operation.
