Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe
operation.
Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
2. Open window.
The warning label above has been located in the
cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate
supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the
amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of
the recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when
using the cooking appliance(s) will avoid danger of
asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking
appliances not be used for comfort heating as the
danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance
is used for long periods of time.
Never use portable fuel-burning equipment, includ-
ing wood and charcoal grills and stoves inside the
vehicle because a fire or explosion may result.
MICROWAVE OVEN
Please read all instructions that come with the con-
vection or microwave oven before use. The oven
should never be operated empty. When operating
on your generator (if equipped) power is limited. If
the roof air conditioner is operating there may not be
enough power to operate the microwave.
Turn the air conditioner control to “fan only” setting to
use microwave.
AUTOMATIC IGNITION WATER HEATER W/120V
HEATING ELEMENT
Your trailer may be equipped with a fully electronic
water heater, which has no pilot light, simply turn ON
the water heater switch located on the monitor panel.
The water heater will cycle on and off as needed. If
the water heater fails to ignite, a red light on the panel
will appear. Check to make sure you have adequate
gas and battery supply. Move switch off and back on
again.
Do not operate the water heater until it is filled
with water.
Turn on the hot water at the galley sink, and when
water flows continuously the heater is full.
Occasionally you may experience “weeping” of the
pressure/temperature relief valve. This is normal
operation. It is caused by the normal expansion of the
water while being heated. The tank is designed with
an internal air gap at the top to reduce this weep-
ing phenomenon. In time, though, the heating and
expansion of the water will absorb this air. To replace
the air and reduce relief valve weeping:
Wait until the water in the heater tank is cool before
performing the following steps.
1. Turn off the water heater.
2. Turn off incoming water supply.
3. Open a faucet in the trailer.
4. Pull the handle of the relief valve straight out and
let water flow until its stops.
5. Release the relief valve handle and let the valve
snap shut.
6. Turn on the water supply.
7. Close the faucet when water flows continuously
without sputtering.
8. Turn on the water heater.
These procedures will re-establish the air pocket at
the top of the tank. If the relief valve weeps again,
repeat the above procedure.
To use the 120V heating feature, turn on the switch
next to the ignition switch. The switch is identified by
a “lightning bolt”.
CAUTION: Do not plug the pressure-temperature
relief valve under any circumstances.
If the water heater will be “out of service” for some
time, it should be drained.
When using hot water faucets in the trailer for the
first time after heating water, open the valve slowly to
reduce water splattering from pressure build up.
