Open the handle of the P & T valve.
Allow excess water to drain from the
water heater through the P & T valve.
When draining is complete, close the P
& T valve by allowing it to snap shut.
Close the faucet and turn on the water
supply.
Turn on the water heater.
Water Heater Compartment:
Periodically inspect the
water heater compartment
and door screen for foreign
material that can prevent
the flow of combustion
and ventilating air. The
water heater drain plug and
pressure relief valve are located inside.
CAUTION
DO NOT block any opening.
Tips:
Turn off the water heater when not in
use to conserve energy.
Shut the water off when not rinsing.
Operate the water heater using propane
when hooked to 30 Amp shore power.
This will reduce the likelihood of
tripping the shore power breaker.
When the water heater element is in
operation, it will use approximately 12
Amps at 120 Volts AC. Appliances that
operate from 120 Volts AC may need
to be operated in sequence to avoid
tripping a breaker.
Draining & Storage:
Drain the water heater to prevent freeze
damage if the motorhome is to be stored
during the winter months.

Turn off electrical power to the water
heater.
Turn off the primary propane shut-off
valve.
Open low point drains.
Open both Hot and Cold on all faucets.
Remove water heater drain plug.
Turn the water heater bypass valve to
the bypass position.
NOTE
Be sure to refill the water heater with
water before resuming operation.
Troubleshooting:
Insects may
make nests
in the burner
tube. Check the
burner tube for
obstructions
if the water
heater fails
to light. It is
recommended
to clean the
burner tube with a brush and not
compressed air. Compressed air may
not fully remove the obstruction.
If the water heater indicator light does
not illuminate and the water heater
does not light, ensure interior house
power is on. Ensure shore power is
plugged in and working, and the AC
breaker is on. Check for a blown fuse
in the house distribution panel.
If the water heater fails to operate
after checking the fuses, the high-
temperature safety limit fuse may be
blown. Have a qualified technician
inspect the water heater.

on the water heater, make sure the
propane is turned off, the 120 Volt
AC source has been disconnected

disconnected. Failure to do so can
result in explosion, fire or injury.
