frequency of the water weeping or dripping
from the P&T relief valve is to maintain an air
pocket at the top of the water heater. This air
pocket will form in the tank by design;
however, it will be reduced over time by the
everyday use of your water heater (refer to the
OEM operator’s manual); If the weeping
persists consult your RV dealer or a service
agency authorized by the water heater
manufacturer.
Operating instructions
STOP! Read the safety and operating
information provided in the OEM operator’s
manual before attempting to activate the water
heater. Make sure the water heater is filled
with water before using the water heater;
momentary operation of the water heater
without water in it can be detrimental.
Water heater switch (optional)
The “propane GAS” water heater switch
enables propane operation of the water
heater. The “ELECTRIC” water heater switch
enables electric operation of the water heater.
For more information
If the RV is to be stored over the winter
months, the water heater must be drained to
prevent damage from freezing. Refer to the
OEM operator’s manual.
OUTSIDE SHOWER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
A handheld shower assembly with both hot
and cold water is available for washing or
rinsing outside the RV. Be sure the water
heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the
water.
1. Open the door with the key and allow it to
hinge down.
2.
If dry camping, be
sure the 12-volt
water pump is ON.
3. Remove the hand
held showerhead
and hose from its
holder and turn ON
the sprayer head
valve.
4. Open the faucet
knobs and adjust
them to the desired
temperature.
To cease operation,
close the faucet knobs and the showerhead
valve. After the water has been allowed to
drain from the showerhead, replace it in the
outside shower compartment. Any remaining
water in the shower hose will drip or run out of
the vacuum breaker; this is not a leak but
performs as intended. Water will drain out
along outer edge of the ABS plastic box.
The showerhead can be removed to drain the
hose faster. If you choose to remove the
showerhead to drain the hose, reassemble it
for storage. Coil the hose and arrange it with
the showerhead inside the faucet assembly.
Make sure that the hose is not being pinched
and the showerhead is not being damaged
when the door is closed. For sanitary reasons,
keep the exterior shower compartment door
closed when not in use.
FAUCETS
The faucets operate much the same way as
the faucets in your home. Make sure there is
sufficient water available and, if dry camping,
the 12-volt water pump is turned ON before
operating. To open the faucets, turn the hot
and cold knobs ON and adjust the temperature
to your comfort level. Close the faucets when a
sufficient amount of water is released.
