○
Turn GMC dial “counter-clockwise”.
○
Increase hot water flow.
○
Gradually add cold water.

Turn GMC dial “clockwise”. NOTE: Use caution not to increase the dial too
much which could cause the hot water temperature to rise to the point the water

Winterization
Freezing of the water heater and its plumbing components will result in severe damage not
covered by warranty. For this reason it is advisable to follow the recommendation(s) below
if the unit is to be stored in a freezing environment or for long periods of time. At the start
of the winter season or before traveling to a location where freezing conditions are likely,
the unit must be winterized.
The very small amount of water present in the heat exchanger
DOES NOT
require the in-
stallation of a bypass kit. Refer to the
Winterization
section for details.
Pressure - Temperature Relief Valve
THIS VALVE IS A SAFETY COMPONENT AND MUST NOT BE REMOVED FOR
ANY REASON OTHER THAN REPLACEMENT.
THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED BY A QUALI-
FIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

facturer’s recommended service technician. If you have further questions contact your RV
dealer, the manufacturer, or Customer Service.
