HEATING WITH LP Gas

• ABOUT LP GAS
LP Gas is a petroleum product, formally known as "liquid petroleum gas." It consists primarily of propane and butane
gas. The advantage of propane is that it remains gaseous at temperatures as low as -40 °F (-40 °C).
For this reason, propane is used in colder climates.
LP Gas cylinders contain LP Gas in both liquid and gaseous forms. When the cylinders are filled, the pressure turns
the gas into liquid. When the gas cylinder valve is opened, the liquid becomes a gas again.
WARNING
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
VARNING
The risk involved in using LP Gas is that any leaking
gas can ignite and explode. Since LP Gas is heavier
AVERTISSEMENT
than air, leaking gas will collect at the lowest point in
WARNUNG
the area where the leak occurs. To make it easier to
detect gas leaks, a substance with a distinctly strong
ADVARSEL
smell has been added to the gas.
VAROITUS
– For your safety install a gas alarm according to
the gas alarm manufacturer's recommendations.

BURN HAZARD
VARNING
The exhaust temperatures from the LP Gas burner
can be up to 392 °F (200 °C).
AVERTISSEMENT

ADVARSEL
VAROITUS
Refer to the control panel instructions (page 16).
ADVERTENCIA
When LP Gas operation is selected on the control panel, the LP Gas burner in the heating system and the pump for
circulating the glycol heating fluid start automatically whenever heat is called for by the thermostat.
AVVERTENZA
The LP Gas burner keeps operating and the pump keeps circulating until the thermostat reaches the set temperature.
WAARSCHUWING
Should the LP Gas burner go out for any reason, a sensor will be activated and the heating system will attempt to
automatically restart (in about 10 seconds).
• SNOWY CONDITIONS
WARNING
ASPHYXIATION HAZARD
VARNING
To burn properly and safely, the LP Gas burner in the heating system must have adequate air intake. Inadequate
air intake may cause the build-up of CO gas, which is an asphyxiation hazard. The inlet air to the gas burner enters
AVERTISSEMENT
through the flue, which is usually installed on the side of the RV near the boiler. While camping during the winter,
WARNUNG
make sure that the flue is kept clear of snow and ice.
– ADVARSEL Do not start the LP Gas operation on the heating system until the flue is completely free of snow and/or ice.

WARNING
ASPHYXIATION HAZARD
VARNING
LP Gas contains no toxic substances, but breathing in
concentrated gas may cause suffocation due to lack

of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of LP Gas can pro-

duce carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which is a asphyxia-
tion hazard.
ADVARSEL
– For your safety, install and use a CO detector.
