Section 7
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
Winter Precautions Water Systems
In severe cold it is wise to monitor the water temperature in the tank and take steps to drain and winterize
if necessary. It is also a good idea, in severe cold, to open lower cabinet doors in the kitchen and bath to
allow warm air to circulate around water fixtures. To minimize freezing damage, insulate any drain lines
that are exposed to the outside.
•
Winter Precautions Food Storage:
If left unheated in your Aviator for a long period of time, canned goods and other foods packed in water
should be stored as high as possible since heat rises. Refrigerators can also be used for storage, even when
unplugged, as they are well insulated.
•
Use ONLY your Aviator furnace for heating as it is properly vented to the outside. NEVER USE THE
RANGE FOR HEATING AS FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE OR ASPHYXIATION COULD RESULT.
•
Winter Precautions Condensation:
Moisture can collect on inside surfaces during cold weather when inside humidity is high. While your
Aviator is in use, a family can vaporize up to three gallons of water daily through daily living. Consider
using a dehumidifier to remove moisture. See
of this manual for additional tips regarding
condensation.
