Selectable Modes Of Operation
1� Heating Mode - The furnace automatically selects
the proper operating level based on the difference
between the desired temperature set at the control
panel and the current room temperature� If there is
any water in the water container, it will be heated
automatically� The water temperature will not be
regulated, but it will reach a maximum of 162°F�
2� Hot Water Mode - Hot water mode is ideal if only
hot water is required� The lowest burner setting
suffices for heating water. In hot water mode, the
burner will switch off as soon as the water reaches
the temperature selected at the CP Plus Control
Panel�
NOTE
Make sure the water and bypass valves are in their
normal operating positions. If the bypass valve
is left open cold water will be mixed with heated
water. This will lead to an insufficient hot water
supply. The bypass valve is accessed under the
roadside dinette seat and is located on the right
side of the water heater behind the converter.
WARNING
The furnace/water heater does not feature a frost-
protection function. The water container must be
drained if the trailer will not be used whenever
there is a risk of frost.
WARNING
The water heaters manufacturer does not
recommend blowing air through the water heater
system when draining. This method could cause
damage to lines and components. Refer to
the manufacturers user’s manual provided for
complete winterization instructions.

If warranty service is required, use only a
service location recommended by the furnace
manufacturer or your Airstream dealer.

Furnace and Water Heater
Heating and warm water in one device:
• 3 selectable modes of power input; LP gas, Electric,
and LP/Electric mix�
• During winter operation, the trailer is heated and the
water is warmed up at the same time; during summer
operation, only the water is warmed up
• The asymmetrical shape of the stainless steel tank
enables the water to be mixed more efficiently, so
it warms up more evenly and rapidly, which means
you can enjoy longer showers without the need to
readjust any settings
• The furnace can be operated even if the tank hasn’t
been filled
• Water, gas and warm air duct connections at the side
make servicing easier
