Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions or presence of soot. Soot is formed
whenever combustion is incomplete. This is your visual warning that the water heater
is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot is present, immediately shut the ater heater
down and contact your dealer or a qualified service person.

When considering add-on rooms, porch or patio, attention must be given to the
venting of your water heater. For your safety, do not terminate the vent on your water
heater inside add-on rooms, screen porch or onto patios. Doing so will result in
products of combustion being vented into the rooms or occupied areas.

Never operate the heater if you smell gas. Do not assume that the smell of gas in your
park trailer is normal. Any time you detect the odor of gas, it is to be considered life
threatening and corrected immediately. Extinguish any open flames including
cigarettes and evacuate all persons from the trailer. Shut off gas supply at LP gas
bottle. (See safety notice on front cover of this manual.)

WARNING: Make sure water heater is filled with water before power is turned on.
Even momentary operation of heater without water in it will burn out the element.
NOTE: Always open both the cold and hot water faucets when filling trailer water tankto
allow air pockets to be forced out of the water heater. When water flows from the
heater faucets, close both faucets.

Be sure the power is “OFF” to the water heater ignition system during any type of
refueling and while trailer is in motion or being towed.
