WATER HEATER
Operating Instructions
Read the Water Heater Manufacturer’s
Installation and Operation Manual for complete
Safety Warnings, Operating Instructions and
Maintenance Information before operating the
water heater.
Be sure the water heater is filled with water
before starting.
To fill the water heater, turn 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.
LP Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater switch on the Monitor
Panel. The “Pilot Out” light will glow for about
10-15 seconds, then it will go out. The “Heater
On” indicator will remain lit. If the “Pilot Out”
light comes on during LP operation, it means that
the burner has gone into “lockout” mode and
must be restarted. If this happens, turn the Water
Heater switch off for about 5 minutes, then turn it
back on.
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.
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.
To Replace the Air Gap:
1. Turn off the water heater switch and incoming
water supply (city water and/or demand
pump).
2. Open a faucet in the motor home to relieve
water pressure.
3. Pull the handle of the P-T valve straight out
and allow water to flow until it stops.
CAUTION
Operate this valve only when the water
heater and engine cooling system are
cold!
