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 through an access
panel on the outside of the motor home.
With the bypass valve in the "normal flow"
position turn on the hot water faucet at the gal-
ley 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 heater. The water heater bypass
valve greatly reduces the quantity of antifreeze
required to winterize the water system.

APPLIANCES

The valve is usually located in an exterior luggage
compartment near the water pump. Consult with
your dealer for the location for your particular unit.
To bypass the water heater, turn the lever valve
vertical .
To supply water heater with water, turn lever
horizontal .

REFRIGERATOR

Water Heater Bypass Valve
Read the operating instructions furnished in your
Owner's Information 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 inte-
rior of the refrigerator is cool, the refrigeration
system will usually maintain this temperature. If
the inside of the refrigerator is hot, the food is not
precooled, and the outside temperature 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.
The furnace will not operate properly if your
stored personal items block the free flow of air at
the registers or the return air to the furnace.
