Water Heater
Electronic Ignition
The Bambi is equipped with a continuous water
heater featuring freeze protection, and direct spark
ignition� The tankless water heater monitors inlet water
temperature and flow, and output water temperature
and flow. The water heater is controlled by the Control
Center located on the wall above the bathroom
sink� Turn on the power and press the temperature
selection arrow to see current setting� Select desired
temperature using the up and down arrow� Turn on the
hot water faucet�
The switch used to light your electronic ignition water
heater is located above the galley sink on 16’ models
and in the bathroom on all other models� Normally,
the burner will ignite in just a few seconds unless your
LPG system has not been used for some time and
air has filled the lines. The system will go into safety
lockout, after 3 failed ignition attempts, before the air
is expelled. If this happens and error code of “E1” will
appear on the screen� Turning the Water Heater off for
30 seconds and then back on reinstates the ignition
mode system’s�
Common Error Codes
• E1
: Ignition failure of accidental flame off during
ignition – Check that you have LP in the tanks,
that other LP appliances work, and no debris or
obstruction in the burner�
• E2 : Flame sensing interrupted during normal
operation, a buzzer will sound� Check that you have
LP in the tanks, that other LP appliances work, and
no debris or obstruction in the burner�
• En : System timer – System will shut off after 20
minutes of continuous usage
• Fd : Water heater operating in Winter Use – The
water heater will run for a few seconds and then
shut off in freezing conditions if the power is ON�
This mode will only protect the Water Heater heat
exchanger and not your Airstream’s plumbing
system�
NOTE
Review the water heater literature supplied in your
owner’s packet before proceeding.
NOTE
The water heater will not operate until a faucet is
opened with a minimum water flow of .8 gallons per
minute. This process could take up to 60 seconds
to register.
WARNING
The water heater has built-in FREEZE
PROTECTION and will intermittently cycle the
burner when the water temperature reaches 3°C/
38°F. To provide this freeze protection, the gas
supply must be on, gas must be available and
electrical power must be on.
CAUTION
This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped
with an ignition device which automatically lights
the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
WARNING
It is dangerous to operate a Tankless Water Heater
Unattended. This may occur accidentally if a
sufficient leak develops or if a faucet is left open.
For this reason the GSWH-2 will automatically shut
off after running for 20 minutes and the display will
show Error “En”
