ELECTRIC
The Gas/Electric Water Heater has a dual power feature. It can operate from propane gas or
120-volt house current, or it can use both at the same time for quicker recovery at times when
you are using a lot of hot water.
See the Water Heater manufacturer's
operation manual provided in your Info ease for complete operating instructions, safety warnings, and
maintenance information before operating the Water Heater
.
Be sure the Water Heater is filled with
water before starting either electric or
propane gas operation. To fill the Water Heater, tum the Water Pump switch ON and open a hot
water faucet anywhere in the coach. When water begins to flow steadily from the faucet, the
Water Heater is full.
For Propane Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater LP switch to ON. The monitor panel display will indicate that the heater
is "On". If the monitor panel display reads "Water Heat LP Fail", it means that the burner has
gone into "lockout" mode and must be restarted. If this happens, tum the Water Heater LP
switch off for about 5 minutes, then tum it back on.
Propane Gas Water Heater Switch
(Located on monitor panel)
For Electric Operation
Press the Water Heater Electric switch to ON. The shoreline must be connected or generator
running for electric operation.
Electric Water Heater Switch (Located on monitor panel)
For Quick Recovery Operation (Dual Heating)
Tum ON both Water Heater switches -
propane gas and electric. This will help reheat the Water Heater tank more quickly than a single
source would alone. Use this mode when you are using a larger than normal volume of hot
water.
For further information see
the Water Heater manufacturer's operation manual provided in your
Info Case for complete operating instructions, safety warnings,
and maintenance information.
4-7 PRESSURE - TEMPERATURE
RELIEF VALVE
On occasion, water may be seen seeping from the water heater pressure temperature relief
valve. This is no cause for repair or replacement of the valve.
Water Heater Exterior Service Access
Normally there is an air gap at the top of the water heater tank, which acts as a pressure buffer.
In time, however, heated water may expand and fill this air gap, causing a slight increase in
water pressure. This may cause the P-T valve to "weep" until the air gap is manually replaced.
