WARNINGS
Warning! Do not place propane cylinders inside the vehicle. Propane cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by
discharging propane to the atmosphere. Propane gas is highly flammable. Can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
Danger! Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort heating. Can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to death or serious injury.
Warning! Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation: before operating: open vents or windows slightly or turn on exhaust fan prior to using
cooking appliances. Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be replaced to ensure proper combustion. Improper use can result in death or serious
injury.
Warning! Do not fill propane container(s) to more than 80 percent of capacity. A properly filled container contains approximately 80 percent of its
volume as liquid propane. Overfilling propane container(s) can result in uncontrolled propane flow, which could lead to a fire or explosion and result in
death or serious injury.
Danger! If you smell propane:
1.
Extinguish any open flames and all smoking materials.
2.
Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or propane supply connection.
3.
Do not touch electrical switches.
4.
Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5.
Leave the area until the odor clears.
6.
6. Have propane system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
Warning! When using the outdoor cooking area, the vehicle must be level and stabilized. Do not violate manufacturers’ instructions on required
clearances for cooking appliances during use. Do not store cooking appliances until cool to the touch. Can leaf to a fire and explosion and result in death
or serious injury.
