Operating Instructions
– Electric Elements
Electric water heaters are designed to operate with a minimum amount
of service problems, however, proper operation and care is essential.
By far, the most common trouble with electric water heaters results from
energizing the water heater before it is filled with water. Even brief
operation of the electric element without water in the tank will burn out the
electric heating element.
Before the electric element will operate, the switch located behind the
water heater door in the lower left corner of the control housing must be
in the “ON” position. To energize the electric element, locate the switch,
which is on the bottom of the monitor panel, inside the RV and turn the
switch marked “ELECTRIC” to the “ON” position. The water heater
temperature will be regulated by the thermostat.
To Turn Off Water Heater:
1.
Turn switch to “OFF” position.
2. Turn off the electrical power to the appliance.
3. Turn off propane supply.
4. If the vehicle is to be stored or the heater is going to be turned
off while subject to freezing temperature, drain the water heater.
Winterizing Your Water Heater
If your water heater plumbing system is equipped with a bypass kit, use
it to close off the water heater. Drain the water heater completely and
leave the water heater closed off (out of the system) in the bypass
position, particularly if you are introducing antifreeze into the plumbing
DO NOT operate the water heater with two energy sources in
operation or without water.
