Water Heater - Gas/ Electric - Winnebago fuse Owner's Manual

SECTION 4 –
APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
3-Port Solar Cap
(Located on the roof)
Single Solar Port
–If Equipped
The Single Solar Port (located at ground level)
is for using a portable solar panel, it has a
maximum input rating of 150 Watts. The Single
Solar Port is connected to the coach batteries
through the solar charge controller (located in
power cord compartment). When connecting a
portable solar panel, a separate solar charge
controller is not needed and will reduce the
effectiveness of the portable solar panel.
Single Solar Port
(Located in power cord compartment)
NOTE: The Solar Charge Panel is not intended
to make the coach battery system
"maintenance free." The solar panel will
not completely compensate for
continuous low amperage draw from
components such as the propane gas leak
detector (if equipped), the dash radio
clock, and the radio station memory
circuitry, for example.
Although the Solar Charge Panel can
4-10
help to extend battery life, the coach
shoreline should be plugged in routinely
to "top off" the batteries. We also
recommend following regular battery
inspection and maintenance, especially
in cold weather.
See "Battery Care" in Section 6 -
Electrical.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer's user manual
provided in your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions.
WATER HEATER – GAS/
ELECTRIC
–If Equipped
The Gas/Electric Water Heater has a dual
power feature. It can operate from propane gas or
120-volt house current, or it can use both at the
same time for quicker recovery at times when
you are using a lot of hot water.
See the Water Heater manufacturer's
operation manual provided in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions, safety
warnings, and maintenance information before
operating the Water Heater.
Be sure the Water Heater is filled with
water before starting either electric or
propane gas operation. To fill the Water Heater,
turn the Water Pump switch ON and open a hot
water faucet anywhere in the coach. When water
begins to flow steadily from the faucet, the Water
Heater is full.
For Propane Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater LP switch to ON. The
monitor panel display will indicate that the heater
is "On". If the monitor panel display reads
"Water Heat LP Fail", it means that the burner
has gone into "lockout" mode and must be
restarted. If this happens, turn the Water Heater
LP switch off for about 5 minutes, then turn it
back on.
