Water Heater Operation With
An Electric Element On 120
Volt Power
1. Check for the proper voltage supply (120 Volts).
2. Make sure the water heater is full of water and is not
bypassed.
3. Turn on the switch to the electric element. The water
heater will control the temperature.
The temperature and pressure
relief valve is located on the
exterior of the water heater.
It is designed to open if the
temperature of the water within
the heater reaches 210° F, or if
the water pressure in the heater
reaches 150 pounds.
Recreational vehicle water systems are closed systems,
and during the water heating cycle, the pressure build-
up in the water system may reach 150 pounds. When
this pressure is reached, the pressure relief valve will
open and water will drip from the valve. This dripping will
continue until the pressure is reduced below 150 pounds,
and the valve closes. This condition is normal and does
not indicate a defective relief valve.
Pressure Relief Valve
WARNING
!
Do not plug the relief valve under any circumstance.
Keep your water warm for cooking, bathing, and cleaning in your coach.
