NOTE
Review the water heater literature supplied in your
owner’s packet before proceeding.
WARNING
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water
system served by this heater if it has not been
used for a long period of time (generally two weeks
or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To
reduce the risk of injury under these conditions,
it is recommended that the hot water faucet be
opened for several minutes at the galley sink
before using any electrical appliance connected to
the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there
will probably be an unusual sound heard such as
air escaping through the pipe as the water begins
to flow. Do not smoke or allow an open flame near
the faucet at the time it is open.
Electronic Ignition
The switch used to light your electronic ignition water
heater is located in the bathroom on the right hand
wall When the switch is turned on, the red light will
come on, indicating ignition mode Normally, the burner
will ignite in just a few seconds, and the light will go
out If your LPG system has not been used for some
time, the system may go into safety lockout (about
20 seconds) before the air is expelled from the lines
Turning the switch off for 30 seconds and then back on
reinstates the ignition mode

Review all refrigerator literature supplied in your
owner’s packet or stored in the refrigerator prior to
operating it
In an absorption refrigerant system, ammonia is
liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top-rear of
the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the
evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed
to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the
freezer
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically
sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid
ammonia, flowing downward by gravity, through this
section If the refrigerator is operated out-of-level
when the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will
accumulate in portions of the evaporator tubing This
will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas,
or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a
loss of cooling
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with
the refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled
to prevent this loss of cooling The vehicle needs to be
leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable
sloping of floor or walls).
When the vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical,
as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will
pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia
from accumulating in the evaporator tubing
Operation
The refrigerator requires 12-volt current to operate,
even if running on LP or 110-volt modes The 12-volt
is used to power the circuit board that directs the
refrigerator functions When running in a mode such
as LP, it means the heat source, by far the largest
power requirement to evaporate the ammonia, is being
provided by an LPG burner
NOTE
When unit is plugged into 110 power and the switch
is in auto mode, 110 power is the priority source of
operation.
