Propane gas regulators must always be
installed with the diaphragm vent facing
downward. Regulators are equipped with a
protective cover. Make sure that the regulator
vent faces downward and that the cover is kept

could result in excessive gas pressure causing
fire or explosion.
•
The following warning label is located in the
cooking area to remind you to provide an
adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is
limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) avoids dangers of asphyxiation. It is
especially important that cooking appliances not
be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
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.
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
appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen,
which should be replaced to ensure
proper combustion. Improper use can
result in death or serious injury.
