Anytime the RV is not intended to be used, it is considered to
be in storage or transit. To prepare the water heater, follow the
below steps:
1. Turn o gas supply.
2. Turn o water heater main switch.
3. Drain water out of the system and
water heater by removing the filter
cover and drain plug (Fig. 31)
4. If freezing conditions could occur,
then then the water heater must be
winterized appropriately per the
instructions on page 9.
Routine Inspection
Routine inspection is critical for maintaining proper operation
of your appliance. Unless specified, review the following items
yearly or before each season:
1. Inspect the gas system and installation every two years,
or otherwise specified by your RV coach manufacturer,
by a qualified personnel.
2. Inspect for cracks, separation, peeling of seals to the RV
wall. Remove and re-seal as necessary (caulking or tape)
between the side wall and the door of the water heater
and ensure that the unit is solidly mounted to the vehicle.
3. Verify that the air inlet openings (louvers) are completely
open and clear of any debris including mud, leaves, twigs,
insects, etc. Remove all obstructions to allow full air flow.
4. Insects, including wasps and spiders, can build nests in
the exhaust tube outlet which will aect the performance
of the unit. Inspect the flue outlet tube to make sure that
it is unobstructed and that the screen is clean. If debris
or insects are present, clean and vacuum to remove any
remaining debris. The use of any type of after-market
screen to cover the vent is not permitted and will void the
warranty.
5. Open the door and verify that no debris or extraneous
combustible materials are present anywhere (especially in
the area of the burner and the gas controls). Remove any
item present and wipe clean the bottom of the housing.
6. Inspect the interior surface of the housing for any cracks
or corroded areas that could allow penetration of gases
into or out of the interior of the vehicle.
• Check especially around the hot water, cold water,
gas and electrical connections.
• NOTE: If damage is found, please contact a technician
to repair or contact Furrion customer service.
