Operating Instructions - Jayco COVE 2002 Owner's Manual

I
The thermostat on your water heater is not adjustable. It is a temperature sensing
limit designed to maintain a water temperature of 130°F (54°C). Water temperatures
over 130°F (54°C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds; therefore, be
careful when using hot water. Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of
being scalded. Always feel water before bathing or showering.

Operating Instructions

• BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
• This is an automatic gas valve, no adjustments are necessary. Do not attempt to repair the gas
valve. This may result in a fire or explosion.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
• Before operating water heater, check the location of the vent to make sure it will not be
blocked by the opening of any door on the trailer. If it can be blocked, do not operate the
water heater with the door open.
• This appliance may not have a pilot. If it does not have a pilot, it is equipped with an ignition
device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand. Refer to
the manufacturer's owner's manual for your park trailer to verify which model is installed in
your trailer.
1. STOP! Read the safety information provided.
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

in item B of the safety information. If you do not smell gas, go to next step.
5. Turn "ON" gas supply.
6. Turn on electrical power to the appliance.
7. Turn switch to "ON" position. If the burner does not light, the system will automatically
attempt two more tries for ignition before lock-out.
NOTE: Each ignition cycle will have a 15 second purge before spark cycle if system is a
three try system.
8. If lockout occurs before main burner lights, turn switch to "OFF", wait five seconds and turn
switch to "ON" position. This will restart the ignition cycle. The first start-up of the heater
may require several ignition cycles before all air is purged from the gas lines.
If the burner will not come on, the following items should be checked before calling a service
person:
1. Switch turned off.
2. Gas supply to heater is empty or turned off.
