When you’re
setting up the
heater for the
first time you
will want to
test the water
temperature
coming out of
the faucet and
adjust it by
using the
Mixing valve
located close
to the Alde unit this adds cold water to hot water before it gets
to the faucet to avoid getting water burns.
Please use caution water can be extremely hot coming out of
the heater.
Turning the mixing valve knob to the positive side will
increase the water temperature, if you have adjusted the knob
to its standard max setting please follow the instructions below
on how to increase the max temperature setting on the mixing
valve.
Increasing the Maximum Temperature:
Turn the knob counterclockwise to (+). Loosen the screw
and move the knob out to the side. Then turn the knob
clockwise to (-) without it being engaged. Adjustments are
carried out in small steps. A ¼ turn corresponds to
approximately 7° C (44.6° F). Reinstall the knob and check
that it engages with the teeth. Tighten the screw and then
turn the knob to max (+). Max. Calibration for increasing
the temperature is a ½ turn.
Reducing the Maximum Temperature:
Do the procedure in reverse, Turn the knob clockwise to (-)
and the disengaged knob anticlockwise to (+)?
Do not plug the pressure-temperature relief valve under any
circumstances.
If the water heater will be “out of service” for some time, it
should be drained. See “Storage” chapter for more
information.
When using hot water faucets in the camper for the first time
after heating water, open the valve slowly to reduce water
splattering from pressure build up.
Water Odor
Odor from the water is not a service issue. Many water
supplies contain enough Sulphur to produce a ‘rotten egg’
odor. It is not harmful, only unpleasant. The solution is to
chlorinate the water. You may add about 6 oz. of common
household liquid bleach per 10 gal. Of water in the tank.
Run the chlorinated water throughout the system by opening
each faucet one at a time until you smell the chlorine. Let the
camper sit for a few -*days and the chlorine should take care
of the problem. However, you must then remove the chlorine
by flushing the system with fresh water. You may need to do
this more than once, if this is a frequent occurrence, consider
adding a filtering system as a prevention.
Roof Mounted Air Conditioner
The roof-mounted Air Conditioner operates on 120-volt
power, which is supplied through the 30-amp power cord,
from an outside 120-volt power service, if equipped. The
factory installed air conditioner is a high efficiency, power
saver unit.
The air conditioner will provide cooled air for your comfort.
However, it is the largest single load of electrical usage. It is
important to manage your electrical usage when you have
either an air conditioner or microwave oven installed or both.
1) Be sure air conditioner is OFF before connecting
electricity.
2) When the air conditioner has been shut down, wait at
least five minutes before restarting.
3) Do not operate without a filter installed.
Helpful Notes When Using the Air Conditioner
Keep window curtains closed.
Air conditioner removes moisture from the air and it is normal
to have water discharge off the roof.
Experience has shown that some RV parks may experience
reduced power (low voltage) on days with high heat or
humidity, commonly referred to as a “brown out”. This
condition may result in the air conditioner circuit breaker
tripping in your power distribution center. This protects your
air conditioner motor from damage and is necessary during
low voltage conditions. This breaker tripping is sometimes
perceived as a fault in your camper, but it is a necessary
“safety valve”.
Cooling
1) Park the camper in a shaded area.
2) Use window shades, blinds, or curtains.
3) Keep windows and doors shut or minimize usage.
4) Avoid the use of heat producing appliances.
5) Installing window awnings will reduce heat gain by
removing direct exposure to the sun.
Starting the air conditioner in the morning and giving it a head
start on the expected high outdoor ambient temperature, will
greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor
temperature.
Whether using the HEATING or the COOLING function of
your thermostat, condensation can always be an issue.
Keeping you Camper at a constant temperature helps keep
condensation at a minimum.
