2.1  Activating The Aqua-Hot Heating System
Diesel-Burner

Turn the Diesel-Burner Control Switch ON.  This procedure will activate
the Diesel-Burner and the indicator light located on or near the Switch.
Please contact your specific motorhome manufacturer for the exact
Diesel-Burner Control Switch location.  Allow 10-20 minutes for the Sys-
tem to reach operating temperature. Please note that the Diesel-Burner is
the main heat source for heating both the interior and the domestic hot
water.  So, be sure to leave this switch ON during normal heating require-
ments.

Electric Heating Element

The VAC Electric Heating Element is wired directly into your motorhomes
120 VAC electrical system and is operational whenever VAC power is
available.  Allow 1-2 hours for the System to reach operating temperature.
Please note that the Electric Heating Element will adaquately provide all
your heating needs only for low heating demand situations, such as when
moderate ambient temperatures exist and/or when there is a low demand
for domestic hot water.
