LP Gas Operation
To light the water heater turn on the LP gas supply and push control switch to ON.
If no flame is established within a 10 to 15 second period, the system will go into lock-
out. This means that the water heater is not igniting. To reset the system push switch
to OFF and back to ON position. If the water heater fails to ignite after three tries, con-
tract your authorized dealer for service. Lock-out can occur when LP gas tank has been
refilled. If the water heater goes into lock-out frequently, during regular use, contact
your authorized dealer for service. To turn off water heater push control switch to OFF.
Draining and Storage
If your motor home is to be stored for a long period of time or during winter months
the water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing. Refer to Chapter 7
“Winterizing” for instructions. Be sure to refill water heater with water before resuming
operation.
T
emperature/Pressure Relief Valve
The water heater is equipped with a temperature and
pressure relief valve which is designed to open if the water
temperature within the heater reaches 210
o
F (98.8
o
C), or if
the water heater reaches 150 pounds. Motor home water
systems are closed systems and during the heating cycle
pressure build-up in the system may reach 150 pounds. If
this pressure is reached, the pressure relief valve will open
and water will drip from the valve. This dripping will contin-
ue until the pressure is reduced below 150 pounds and valve
closes.
Burner Compartment
Periodically check the service compartment and screen in door on outside of motor
home (refer to Chapter 8 “Diagrams” for location) to see that no foreign material has
accumulated to prevent flow of combustion and ventilating air.
