HEATING & COOLING
Ducting & Return Air
All heat discharges, registers and return air grills must be free and
clear of obstructions. This includes all closeable registers that are
intended to reduce airflow, do not shut it off completely.
CEILING FAN (IF EQUIPPED)
Turn the ceiling fan ON/OFF using a switch typically located on the
wall, or in an overhead cabinet. The ceiling fan’s 3 speeds are
controlled by a pull chain switch. Pull chain settings are (in order): Off,
High, Medium, Low. The slide switch (located on the fan) controls the
direction of operation (down for forward, up for reverse). Stop the fan
first before using the direction switch!
For additional information refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual
in the Customer Information Packet.
During cooler temperatures, set your fan settings to “low,” and set the
fan to turn clockwise to create an updraft and help circulate warm air.
In the summer, the fan should turn counterclockwise to create a down
draft of cooling air.
FURNACE
The furnace installed in your recreation vehicle is controlled by a
12-volt DC thermostat. Depending on your model, there may be up
to two thermostats enabling you to control the temperature to your
comfort level. The furnace requires both 12-volt power and propane
gas for full operation. Make sure you have sufficient power available
before operating your furnace.
A qualified RV technician should perform all furnace maintenance at
least once a year (more often depending on furnace usage). Never
attempt to repair the furnace yourself.

Heat pump operation (if equipped)
Set the thermostat for either electric or gas heat. On the electric
setting, the heat pump will become the primary heat source as long
as the interior temperature of the RV has not dropped 5° below the
thermostat set point. If this occurs, the thermostat will automatically
activate your gas furnace.
The furnace will continue as the heat source until the thermostat
set point has been satisfied. At that point, the heat pump will again
become the primary heat source.
For RV models with a touch screen system, the heating cooling
controls are included on the touch screen selectable screens.
For additional information refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual
included in your Customer Information Packet or consult your dealer.
• The furnace should be inspected periodically (monthly during the
heating season) for presence of soot on the vent. Soot is formed
whenever combustion is incomplete. This is a visual warning that
the furnace is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot is observed
on the vent, immediately shut the furnace OFF and contact
a qualified service agency. Operating the furnace under this
condition could lead to serious property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
• To ensure your personal safety, do not obstruct or alter the
furnace in any manner. Do not install screens over the vent for
any reason. Screens will become restricted and cause unsafe
furnace operation. For your safety, only the manufacturer’s
factory authorized parts should be used on your furnace.
Be careful to avoid placing any object in the path of the ceiling fan
blades!
For RV models with touch screens, the furnace controls may be
included on the selectable menu screens of the touch screen and in
the JayCommand/TravelLINK smartphone app.
