TO TURN OFF WATER HEATER:
1. Turn switch to “OFF” position.
2. Turn off the electric power to the
appliance.
3. Turn off propane supply.
4. If the vehicle is to be stored or the
water heater is going to be turned
off while subject to freezing
temperature, drain the water
heater.
Winterizing Your Water Heater
If your water heater plumbing system is equipped with a bypass kit,
use it to close off the water heater. Drain the water heater
completely and leave the water heater closed off (out of the system)
in the bypass position particularly if you are introducing antifreeze
into the plumbing system.
Antifreeze can be very corrosive to the anode rod creating
premature failure and leave sediment in the tank. If the plumbing
system is not equipped with a bypass kit, and you intend to
winterize by adding antifreeze to the system, remove the anode rod
(storing it for the winter) and replace it with a 3/4 inch drain plug.
REFRIGERATOR_______________________________________
Performance of refrigerators depends on various factors, such as,
energy, venting, leveling, humidity and atmospheric heat
temperatures, but not limited to these. All refrigerators are designed
with absorption type of cooling units requiring careful leveling and
venting conditions.
Leveling: The refrigerator is made to operate within 3 degrees
off level side-to-side and 6 degrees off level front-to-back ( as
looking at the front of the refrigerator ). Operating it at more then
these limits can cause damage to the cooling system and create a
risk of personal injury or property damage. Make sure the vehicle is
level before you operate the refrigerator.
Even being off only 1 degree will be uncomfortable living as 1
degree equals 5 inches higher from one end to the other in a 30
foot travel trailer.
