APPLIANCES
The appliances installed in your motor
home are tested and listed, and comply with
standards from UL or similar agencies. All
appliances are covered by American Coach’s
Owner Care Warranty program. Each
appliance is also warranted by its manufacturer.
WATER HEATER
(If Equipped)
The water heater operates on propane, or, if
so equipped, with 120-volt AC power, and is
much like the one in your home. It contains an
automatic shut off valve which stops the propane
supply if the water temperature rises too high.
The water heater is reached through an access
panel on the outside of the motor home.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the galley sink.
If water flows continuously the heater is full.
Water Heater Bypass Valve
This valve is provided to cut off the flow of water
to the water heater. The water heater bypass valve
greatly reduces the quantity of antifreeze required
to winterize the water system. The valve is usually
located near the water heater. Consult with your
dealer for the location in your particular unit.
To bypass the water heater, turn the lever
valve vertical .
To supply water heater with water, turn
lever horizontal .
REFRIGERATOR
Read the operating instructions furnished
in your Owner’s Information Package and
determine which type of refrigerator is installed
in your motor home. Some motor homes may
have a “residential” refrigerator and operating
instructions may differ. Before operating the
refrigerator when the motor home is parked, make
sure it is level. If it is not level, the refrigerant
will not circulate, cooling action will stop, and
the refrigeration system may be damaged.
The standard type RV refrigerator uses the
absorption principle of operation. If you plan to
cool food or drinks in high outside temperatures,
precool the food, and, if possible, park the
motor home with the refrigerator vent door in
the shade. Once the interior of the refrigerator
is cool, the refrigeration system will usually
maintain this temperature. If the inside of the
refrigerator is hot, the food is not precooled,
and the outside temperature is high, it will take
longer for your food to be cooled.
FORCED AIR FURNACE
(If Equipped)
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by
propane. All furnaces are equipped with a wall
thermostat for temperature setting.
The furnace will not operate properly if your
stored personal items block the free flow of air
