risk of injury under these conditions, open the
hot water faucet for several minutes at the
kitchen sink before you use any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system.
If hydrogen is present, you probably will hear
an unusual sound such as air escaping
through the pipe as the water begins to flow.
Hydrogen gas may be present even after
water has been drained from the tank. Open
faucet at the sink and allow the water system
to vent for five to ten minutes (or as needed).
Odor from the hot water system
Many water supplies contain sufficient
amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often
called “sulfur water.” Sulfur water can be
caused by a chemical action or by bacteria.
Generally, sulfur water is not harmful, only
unpleasant to smell. To eliminate sulfur water
sanitize the water heater. Odor from sulfur
water is not a service problem.
High altitude deration
Operation of the water heater at high altitudes
may require derating. Consult with your local
propane gas company, RV dealer or the water
heater manufacturer for proper derating of the
water heater. Change out of the orifice
(derating) should be done by your RV dealer or
a service agency authorized by the water
heater manufacturer. It is important that once
the RV has returned to lower elevation any
high altitude deration or other adjustments be
reversed for proper operation of the water
heater.
Pressure & temperature relief valve
When cold water is heated in the water heater
tank, the water pressure will rise. For this
reason, a pressure and temperature (P&T)
relief valve is required for safety in all water
heaters. It is normal for the P&T relief valve to
release a small quantity of water during the
heating cycle and does not indicate a defective
P&T relief valve. One way to reduce the
frequency of the water weeping or dripping
from the P&T relief valve is to maintain an air
pocket at the top of the water heater. This air
pocket will form in the tank by design;
however, it will be reduced over time by the
everyday use of your water heater (refer to the
OEM operator’s manual); If the weeping
persists consult your RV dealer or a service
agency authorized by the water heater
manufacturer.
Water heater control switches
The water heater control rocker switches are
located in the Command Center. The "propane
GAS" water heater switch enables propane
operation of the water heater. The
"ELECTRIC" water heater switch enables
electric operation of the water heater.
Operating instructions
STOP!
Read the safety and operating
information provided in the OEM operator’s
manual before attempting to activate the water
heater. Make sure the water heater is filled
with water before using the water heater;
momentary operation of the water heater
without water in it can be detrimental.
Draining and winterization
If the RV is to be stored over the winter
months, the water heater must be drained to
prevent damage from freezing. It is
recommended the water heater be drained
and bypassed during the winterization process
particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the
plumbing system.

and
