steps 2-4 again. If it still will not light
after three attempts, go to Shut Down
steps and contact your dealer or a local
RV service center.
To Shut Down:
1. Slide thermostat switch to OFF position.
2. Close LP tank valve.
NOTE: Metal coatings used during manufacture
of the furnace burner parts may smoke
when the furnace is used for the first
time, which may also set off your smoke
alarm. If this happens, provide adequate
ventilation to avoid a nuisance smoke
alarm. We do not recommend removing
the smoke alarm battery.
Further Information
Please see the furnace operating instructions
provided in your Owner InfoCase for further
information, including operating precautions,
and periodic maintenance. See the Coach
Maintenance Schedule in Section 11 for
recommended intervals.
HEAT PUMP
Your coach is equipped with an air source heat
pump built into the air conditioning system.
Because the heat pump operates on electricity, it
provides economical heat inside your coach and
helps reduce the use of LP gas for heating in
cooler weather.
A heat pump can be thought of as an air
conditioner running in reverse. An air
conditioner absorbs heat from the air on the
inside of the coach and moves it to the outside.
The heat pump does exactly the opposite. Even
cold air contains some heat, so a heat pump will
extract heat from the outside air on a cold day and
carry it to the inside of the coach to maintain a
comfortable temperature.
The efficiency of a heat pump decreases as the
outdoor air temperature drops, so supplementary
heat is often needed when the outside
temperature nears freezing. This system is set to
automatically start the LP gas furnace to assist
the heat pump if room temperature cools to 5
degrees or more below the thermostat set
temperature. You may wish to manually switch
to furnace heat to maintain a higher temperature
when outside temperatures begin to reduce the
efficiency of the heat pump. The heat pump will
not operate when the outside temperature falls
below 36 degrees F.
To operate the heat pump:
For complete operating instructions, refer to
the manufacturer’s information provided in your
Owner InfoCase.
CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER
NOTE: See “Electronic Thermostat” for
instructions on turning the air
conditioner on and changing the
thermostat settings.
The central air conditioner is located behind
the louvered body panel on the right (passenger)
side of the coach. The panel can be opened for
maintenance and periodic service. (See
“Condenser Coils”) The cooled air is forced
through ducts in the ceiling of the coach. Inside
air returns to the air conditioner through a filter
system beneath the rear bed. (See “Air
Conditioner Filters”.)
