Maintenance

Follow the instructions and warnings noted in the respective
appliance and equipment owner's manuals,as well as those
mentioned below.
Annual maintenance should be conducted on propane gas
appliances and equipment by an authorized dealer or repair
facility.
Insects can build nests in the burners of various appliances
and equipment. The burner and burner orifice of the propane
gas appliances and equipment should be cleaned out by an
authorized dealer or repair facility any- time circumstances or
conditions warrant, but no less than on an annual basis.
WARNING
Most LPG appliances used in recreational vehicles
are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When
parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that
gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance
and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE
OR EXPLOSION.
WARNING
For additional Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) safety and
warning information, refer to Section 2 — Safety
and Section 6 — Exterior of this manual

Air Conditioner

The roof air conditioner used on Nest trailers is one of the most
popular on the market today. In your owner's packet is a set of
literature covering all operating and maintenance instructions.
If the literature is misplaced, contact the air conditioner
manufacturer or your Airstream dealer for replacement.
Proper voltage to the air conditioner is critical. A voltmeter check
may find voltage much lower at a campground shoreline outlet
than the needed 110 to 120 volts. Your air conditioner may not
function if the current drops below 105 volts. Low voltage is
usually associated with older or poorly maintained trailer parks.
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort to park in a
shaded area. Starting the air conditioner early in the morning
also helps. It is more efficient to hold a comfortable temperature
than it is to lower the temperature after the interior of the trailer is
already hot.
Never run your air conditioner with the vents closed. Doing so
could cause the air conditioner to freeze and may damage to the
unit. The manufacturer recommends having at least three vents
open when running to prevent any chance of freezing up.
NOTE
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner's packet before proceeding

Thermostat

The thermostat controls both
the air conditioner and the
furnace. For details regarding
the operation of the thermostat,
follow the instructions provided
in your Owner's Packet.
