120-Volt AC Option

 

Should you have 120-Volt AC option there are 2 switches. One is located 
on the outside of water heater, inside the service door. The second switch 
is located on the monitor panel marked as “ELECTRIC”. Both switches 
must be in “ON” position to operate. 
  

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE ON TWO ENERGY SOURCES 
AT THE SAME TIME. DAMAGES WILL OCCUR.

 

 

Winterizing Your Water Heater 

If your water heater plumbing system is equipped with a bypass kit, use 
it  to  close  off  the  water  heater.  Drain  the  water  heater  completely  and 
leave  the  water  heater  closed  off  (out  of  the  system)  in  the  bypass 
position  particularly  if  you  are  introducing  antifreeze  into  the  plumbing 
system. 
Antifreeze  can  be  very  corrosive  to  the  anode  rod  creating  premature 
failure  and  leave  sediment  in  the  tank.  If  the  plumbing  system  is  not 
equipped  with  a  bypass  kit,  and  you  intend  to  winterize  by  adding 
antifreeze to the system, remove the anode rod (storing it for the winter) 
and replace it with a 3/4 inch drain plug. 
 

Refrigerator 

KZRV installs many different sizes and models of refrigerators operating 
on 120-Volt AC, propane, and optional 12-Volt DC energy sources. 
 

 

Operation Requirements 

Refrigerators  placed  into  smaller  RVs  at  KZRV  have  an  absorption 
cooling unit, consuming propane fuel, 120-Volt AC, and optional 12-Volt 
DC  power.    These  units  protect  food  by  removing  the  heat  in  the 
refrigerator, retaining the temperature in the 34° - 38° range.  This type of 
cooling unit, absorption system, requires precise leveling and venting. 

  
Leveling 

For  correct  operation,  the  refrigerator  must  be  within  three  degrees  of 
being level in any direction. Continued operation outside of these limits 
will result in irreparable damage to the cooling unit in the refrigerator. Stay 
within 1 degree for best results. At 1 degree off level your 30 foot trailer 
will  be  5  inches  higher  at  1  end  than  the  other,  not  a  comfortable 
condition. 
  
 

Temperature setting on the control was factory set at the 

lowest setting to reduce risk of scald injury.  Setting the 

temperature dial past the low position will increase the risk of 

scald injury.  Children, disabled, elderly and diabetics are at 

highest risk of being scalded.
