Electric Heating Element
Turn the
Electric
switch
ON
; reference
Figure 3
. This procedure will
activate the 120 VAC Electric Heating Element and the indicator light
located on the Electric switch. Allow 1-2 hours for the Aqua-Hot System to
reach operating temperature. Please note that the Electric Heating
Element is a
secondary heat source
for heating both the interior and the
domestic hot water during low heating demand situations (such as when
moderate ambient temperatures exist and/or when there is a low demand
for domestic hot water).
NOTE:
Both the Diesel-Burner and the Electric Heating Element are
thermostatically controlled. Either, or both, heating sources will
automatically maintain the temperature of the Aqua-Hot's water and
antifreeze solution between approximately 160-190 (+/- 5) degrees
Fahrenheit. To heat your motorhome / domestic hot water, simply
choose the desired heat source(s) and leave the switch(s) (i.e., Diesel
and/or Electric)
ON
.
