NewMar 2006 Mountain Aire Diesel Pusher User Manual page 56

It is important to read all of the safety information provided in the water heater
manufacturer Operation Manual in the Owner's Information Package. The
following instructions are for the standard water heater with direct spark
ignition (DSI). This appliance does not have a pilot light. It is equipped with
an ignition device that automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the
burner by hand. Before lighting smell all around the appliance area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor. Consult the Operation Manual for further instructions if a
gas leak is noticed. The gas valve is fully automatic, no adjustments are
necessary. Read the safety information provided in the Operation Manual
before lighting the appliance. Turn off all of the electrical power to the water
heater. Turn the gas supply to the "OFF" position. Wait five minutes for the
gas to clear the area. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow the safety instructions
in the Operations Manual. If gas odor is not noticed, then turn the gas supply
to the "ON" position. Turn on the electrical supply to the water heater. Inside
the coach there is a switch marked "WATER HEATER". Turn the switch to
the "ON" position. There will be a 15 second purge before the unit will spark.
If the burner does not light on the first try, there will automatically be 2 more
tries for ignition before it will lock out. Each ignition cycle will have a 15
second purge. If lock out occurs before the main burner lights, turn the switch
to "OFF", wait five seconds, and turn the switch to "ON" again. This will
re-start the ignition cycle. The initial start-up of the water heater may require
several ignition cycles before all of the air is purged from the gas lines.
WARNING
Do not store any combustible materials or liquids near or adjacent to the
water heater. Water Heater Storage
When storing your coach for the winter months, the water heater must be
drained to prevent damage from freezing. The first step is to turn off all
electrical power and LP gas going to the water heater. The water pump must
also be turned off. Open both the hot and cold water faucets to drain the lines.
Open the drain on the water heater. Drain the entire water system. When
preparing the coach for use after it has been stored, make certain the water
system, including the water heater, has been filled before re-lighting the water
heater. Failure to fill the water heater before lighting may damage the water
heater and void the warranty.
