EARTHBOUND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE TRAILER OWNER'S MANUAL
WATER HEATER
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
that 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 he opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present there will probably be an
unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no
smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
Electronic Ignition
When the switch is turned on, the red light will come on indicating the "try" mode is in effect.
Normally the burner will ignite in just a few seconds, and the light will go out. If your LP system hasn't
been used for some time, the system may go into safety lockout (about 20 seconds) before the air is all
expelled from the lines. Turning the switch off for 30 seconds, then back on, reinstates the "try" mode.
