TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –PHAETON® Chapter 4 MAJOR APPLIANCES & ACCESSORIES
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately contact a qualified service technician to inspect
the appliance and replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has been under water.
For routine maintenance, all faucet aerators and showerhead screens should be cleaned regularly. It is also
recommended that your tankless gas water heater should be inspected by a qualified service technician at least once a
year. Particular attention should be paid to the following:
• Be sure that the air inlet openings and flue area are clear of any debris or obstructions (leaves, bug nests,
spider webs, etc.)
• Check that heater mounting is still secure to the coach and there are no areas for potential water leaks.
• Open the cover of the heater and inspect for debris or obstructions under the burner or in flue hood.
• Visually inspect wiring. Be sure there is no chafing of the insulation. Be sure that the direct spark ignition cable
(yellow) wire is secured to the electrode under the burner and that the connector is not touching anything.
• Check seat on front lip of electronics drawer to be sure that it still seals when drawer is shut. Check that all case
sealing grommets are secure and not leaking.
• Check for soot around the flue. Soot is a sign of incomplete combustion and a qualified service technician
should be notified to correct the problem.
• The pressure relief valve should be manually activated at least once a year by moving the lever on the top of
the valve 90º. Never perform this operation while the burner is operating. Water will flow freely from the valve
and could cause scalding.
NEVER plug the pressure relief valve. If the valve is actuating too frequently, contact the manufacturer of the
tankless gas water heater.
The tankless gas water heater is equipped with self-diagnostics. In the even the red LED is flashing please refer
to the Service Codes section of the respective manual that comes in the owner’s information package. Most
problems are easily remedied by consulting the trouble-shooting guide. If problems still persist, contact the
manufacturer or an authorized service center. Only a qualified technician should do any work involving the gas
system.
