applIances
10-1
The appliances installed in your motor home are
tested and listed, and comply with standards estab-
lished by these organizations . All appliances are
covered by Fleetwood’s Owner Care Warranty
program . Each appliance is also warranted by its
manufacturer .
water heater
(If equipped)
The water heater operates on Propane, or, if so
equipped, with 120-volt AC power, and is much
like the one in your home . It contains an auto-
matic shut off valve which stops the Propane
supply if the water temperature rises too high .
The water heater is reached through an access
panel on the outside of the motor home .
With the bypass valve in the “normal flow” posi -
tion turn on the hot water faucet at the galley sink .
If water flows continuously the heater is full.
Water Heater Bypass Valve
This valve is provided to cut off the flow of water
to the water heater . The water heater bypass valve
greatly reduces the quantity of antifreeze required
to winterize the water system . The valve is usually
located in an exterior luggage compartment near
the water pump . Consult with your dealer for the
location for your particular unit .
To bypass the water heater, turn the lever valve
vertical .
To supply water heater with water, turn lever
horizontal .
refrIgerator
Read the operating instructions furnished in your
Owner’s Information Package . Before operating
the refrigerator when the motor home is parked,
make sure it is level . If it is not level, the refriger-
ant will not circulate, cooling action will stop, and
the refrigeration system may be damaged .
The refrigerator uses the absorption principle of
operation . If you plan to cool food or drinks in high
outside temperatures, precool the food, and, if pos-
sible, park the motor home with the refrigerator
vent door in the shade . Once the interior of the
refrigerator is cool, the refrigeration system will
usually maintain this temperature . If the inside of
the refrigerator is hot, the food is not precooled,
and the outside temperature is high, it will take lon-
ger for your food to be cooled .
furnace
(If equipped)
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by Propane .
Note
The individual appliance manuals included in your
owner’s Information Pack age contain detailed
operating and maintenance instructions. Always refer
to the respective manual for the appliance in question.
