Furnace
WARNING
Never attempt to modify this furnace. Fire, explosion, asphyxiation, or carbon
monoxide poisoning may occur. If the furnace malfunctions, consult a trained
service technician.
The furnace installed in your unit is a forced-air furnace fueled by LP gas.
The furnace is controlled by the air conditioners wall thermostat. This
thermostat controls both the heating and cooling of the coach.
The heat is supplied to the unit through ducts in the floor. The furnace will
not operate properly if the air flow at the floor registers, or the air return to the
furnace, is blocked by personal or storage items. Storage under the cabinets
should be done carefully to prevent crushing or damaging the furnace ducting
or blocking of the cold air return.
Smoke and fumes may be created as a result of the residual burn off of the
manufacturing compounds that are sometimes present the first time the furnace
is used. This is normal. To minimize the smoke and fumes, the initial lighting
of the furnace should be done with the windows and doors open. Continue
until the residue is completely burned off.
To operate, set the thermostat to the desired temperature setting and turn
the thermostat to the on position. Allow 60 seconds for the furnace to begin
operating. To shut down the furnace, turn the thermostat to the off position.
After the furnace has been turned off, the fan will run for approximately 60
seconds to cool down.
For your safety, do not use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of the furnace or any other appliance. Clean the complete furnace and air tube
passageways periodically to remove dust, lint, etc. Check the gas system for
leaks at least once a year. Check and clean the blower wheel annually.
