CAUTION:
After purging the water lines and
water heater, small air pockets may be
present. After the first heat cycle of the
water heater, initially open hot water
faucets slowly to minimize potential
spattering of hot water.
WARNING:
IF YOU SMELL GAS extinguish all
open flame and turn off the primary
LP-Gas valve. DO NOT touch any
electrical switches. They may cause a
spark that can ignite. Open all windows
and doors. Evacuate the motorhome.
Propane is a heavy gas and will lie on
the floor and hide in corners. Liquid
propane is highly volatile, explosive and
extremely dangerous. Explosion, fire,
property damage, injury or death can
result. Contact a qualified service center
to repair LP-Gas leaks before resuming
operation.
Water Heater Operation:
Turn on interior house power.
120 Volt AC is supplied from shore
power (preferred) or the generator.
The house batteries are charged.
Open the primary LP-Gas valve on the
LP-Gas tank.
NOTE:
DO NOT operate the water heater
without water. Damage to the
thermostats and electric heating element
can occur.
Heating Water with 120 Volt AC:
Have either shore power (preferred) or
the generator supplying AC voltage.
Press the water heater switch.
NOTE:
It is not fuel efficient to use the
generator to operate the water heater on
120 Volt AC.
Heating Water with LP-Gas:
Make sure the LP-Gas is turned on.
Press the LP-Gas water heater switch.
The indicator lamp will glow steady. A
ashing lamp will indicate lockout. Press
the switch twice to reset the ignition
cycle.
NOTE:
LP-Gas and 120 Volt AC functions can
be on at the same time. This will speed
up the process of heating water for large
volume use.
CAUTION:
It is recommended not to operate the
water heater on LP-Gas while the
motorhome is in transit. Be sure the
water heater is off before refueling.
NOTE:
Due to potential air in the LP-Gas lines,
the water heater will attempt three
ignition cycles. If the burner does not
light after the third attempt, the LP-
Gas function will lock-out. Reasons for
lockout may be air in the gas system or
burner tube obstructions caused by an
insect or spider web.
High-Temperature Thermostat:
Separate thermostats are used for LP-Gas
and AC electric. If a thermostat fails, a high-
temperature safety limit switch will open.
CAUTION:
If the high-temperature safety limit
should open, discontinue using the
water heater. Have the water heater
inspected by a qualified technician
to determine the cause of the over
temperature condition.
Water Heater Bypass Valve:
The bypass valve is located at the back of the
water heater. Turning the valve to the bypass
position prevents water from entering the water
heater. Turn the valve to the bypass position
when winterizing. For normal operation, turn
bypass valve to normal ow.
