WARNING
The water heater and furnace combustion air exhaust
ports may be hot when the water heater and furnace
are operating. Do not touch these outlets or allow any
material to come near the exhaust ports while operat-
ing the water heater and/or furnace.
WATER HEATER
The water heater operates on Propane, or, if so
equipped, with 120-volt AC power, and is much
like the one in your home. It contains an auto-
matic shut off valve which stops the Propane
supply if the water temperature rises too high.
The water heater is reached tln'ough an access
panel on the outside of the motor home.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the galley sink.
If water flows continuously the heater is full.

CAUTION
Do not light water heater until it is filled with water.
Water Heater Bypass Valve
This valve is provided to cut off the flow of water
to the water heatel: The water heater bypass valve
greatly reduces the quantity of antifreeze required
to winterize the water system. The valve is usu-

REFRIGERATOR
Read the operating instructions furnished in your
Owner's InjorllUltion Package.
Before operating
the refrigerator when the motor home is parked,
make sure it is level. If it is not level, the refrig-
erant will not circulate, cooling action will stop,
and the refrigeration system may be damaged.
The refrigerator uses the absorption principle of
operation. If you plan to cool food or drinks in
high outside temperatures, precool the food,
and, if possible, park the motor home with the
refrigerator vent door in the shade. Once the
interior of the refrigerator is cool, the refrigera-
tion system will usually maintain this tempera-
ture. If the inside of the refrigerator is hot, the
food is not precooled, and the outside tempera-
tme is high,
it
will take longer for your food to
be cooled.
FURNACE
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by
Propane. All furnaces are equipped with a wall
thermostat for temperature setting.
