Range
Also operated with LP gas are the range burners and the oven
(optional). The basic operation is the same as the units in your
home except that extra care must be taken to provide adequate
ventilation in your RV. Unlike your home, the RV has limited air
space, thus, a limited amount of oxygen available for combustion.
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAMES, SUCH AS THE
RANGE BURNERS, TO WARM THE LIVING AREA OF THE RV.
THE FLAMES CONSUME THE OXYGEN IN THE VEHICLE AND
COULD RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION
.
Always provide adequate ventilation when using the range and
oven. It is always best to use the range exhaust hood and open a
window slightly. Your owner’s packet contains owner’s manuals for
the range and optional oven. Read these over carefully to become
familiar with the safe operation of these appliances.
Range Hood
Most travel trailers include a range hood that includes a light and
powered vent above the range. The vent draws hot air and cooking
odors out of the kitchen and exhausts them to the outside. The
aluminum screen filter in the range hood should be soaked in soapy
water, then rinsed gently to remove accumulated grease. The
exterior vent should be kept free of obstructions to maximize air
flow.
LP Gas Oven (if so equipped)
The LP gas oven can be used much like a household oven for
baking and roasting. Be aware that generally smaller pans are
needed. To reduce risk of accidental fire, the oven should not be
used for storage. For further instructions on its use, consult the
owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer.
Microwave
The optional microwave is similar to microwaves sold for household
use. It relies on 110-volt power for operation. Read over the
microwave oven’s owner’s manual to find all the information on its
operation and cleaning. Due to the limited amount of electrical
power commonly found in RV’s, you may not be able to use your
microwave unless other electronic devices with a heavy electrical
load (air conditioners) are first turned off. Please refer to the 30
amp and 50 amp 110 volt section of this manual for more
information on electrical loads.
