5.
If the water heater fails to operate because of high water temperature, the heater will go into a lockout
condition (indicator light “on”). When the water eventually cools, reset the system by turning the
switch to the “off” position for at least 30 seconds, then turn the switch back “on.”
6.
If a lockout condition persists, contact your authorized dealer.
120-Volt AC Electrical Operation
1.
For electrical operation, use the power switch on the water heater; depending on the particular model,
that switch may be located either at the front or at the rear of the water heater.
2.
Completely fill the water heater with water and purge the hot-water lines of any trapped air.
3.
Turn the power switch located on the water heater “on.” NOTE: Turning the power “on” to the
water heater without having previously covered the water-heating element with water may quickly burn
out the element and void the warranty.
4.
After awhile, check the water heater for proper operation; the water temperature should be
approximately 140
°
F (60
°
C).
5.
If the manual-reset, high-temperature-limit switch should trip the circuit breaker; reset the switch by
depressing the reset button--use a pencil or other non-metallic object to depress the reset button. If the
high-temperature-limit switch should again trip the circuit breaker, contact an authorized service
technician or an authorized dealer.
6.
Both the electrical and gas operations of the water heater may be used simultaneously to reduce
recovery time of heating water up to desired temperature.
For general maintenance of the water heater or specific information about select steps in operating the water
heater, please refer to the owner’s manual for this appliance contained in the Owner’s Information Package.
Warning
DO NOT STORE any combustible or flammable substances near or adjacent to the water
heater. Provide adequate space for ventilation and air circulation.
Water Heater Storage
If the motor home is to be stored during the winter months, the water heater
should be drained (see Figure 4-16) to prevent damage caused by freezing water
contained in the water heater. To drain the water heater, first turn “off” all
electrical power, turn “off” the LP gas going to the water heater, then turn “off”
the water pump. Open both the hot- and the cold-water faucets to drain the
water lines and open the drain plug [lower center of picture] on the water heater
