combustion and must be corrected before operating the water heater.
This is your visual warning that the water heater is operating in an
unsafe manner. If soot is present, immediately shut the unit down and
contact your dealer or a qualified service agency.
Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions. Do not terminate the
vent on your water heater inside of add-on rooms, screen porches or
patios. Doing so will result in products of combustion being vented
into the rooms or occupied areas.
Draining and Winterization
If the RV is to be stored over the winter months, the water heater must
be drained to prevent damage from freezing. Damage to the water
heater caused by freezing is not warrantable. For detailed information
see "SANITIZING/WINTERIZING THE PLUMBING SYSTEM" on
page 75.
ON DEMAND WATER HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
The on demand water heater uses less LP gas than storage tank
model water heaters since it only uses energy when hot water is
demanded. There is no pilot light to burn when no hot water is
needed. The on demand water heater supplies an unlimited supply
of hot water on demand (once lines are purged of standing water).
As hot water is used, the cold water enters the heater. A water flow
sensor detects the flowing water and automatically ignites the burner.
Water circulates through the heat exchanger and is heated to the set
temperature. When the tap is closed, the unit shuts down.
The on demand water heater does not require an anode rod to
prevent corrosion, or a by-pass valve for winterizing. It is not affected
by high altitudes.
The output temperature of the water depends on the temperature
of the inlet water AND the amount of hot water that is drawn. If
the inlet water temperature is over 65º F, the tankless water heater
will generate water in the range of 105°F to 120°F (on low flame)
depending on the water flow selected by the user.

Winterization
Freezing of the water heater and its plumbing components will result
in severe damage not covered by warranty. At the start of the winter
season or before traveling to a location where freezing conditions
are likely, the unit must be winterized. For more information see
"SANITIZING/WINTERIZING THE PLUMBING SYSTEM" on page
75.
