Maintenance
Inspect your water heater monthly and have it serviced at least once a year by the manufac-
turer's recommended service technician. If you have questions, contact your RV dealer, the
manufacturer, or Customer Service.
TRUMA® Tankless Water Heater (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped a Truma® tankless water heater. The tankless
water heater has no pilot light and supplies an unlimited supply of hot water on demand.
It does not require an anode rod to prevent corrosion, and is not affected by high altitudes.
The output temperature of the water depends on the temperature of the inlet water AND the
amount of hot water that is drawn. If the inlet water temperature is over 65°F, the tankless
water heater will generate water in the range of 113°F to 120°F depending on the water flow
selected by the user.
™ NOTE: A pressure regulator is recommended to be used on your pressurized
water line to maintain water pressure around 45 PSI.
Danger of combustion, personal injury and damage to the RV!
Keep the area around the appliance free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids or vapors.
Switch OFF the appliance and gas supply:
•
If you smell gas
•
If anything appears out of the ordinary
•
If you move the RV
•
Before entering a gas station
•
Before entering a tunnel
Danger of over-temperature and toxic exhaust gases!
Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or any mixtures containing more
than 10% butane must not be used.
Keep the air inlet and exhaust gas outlet free of obstructions. Do not
lean any objects against the water heater access door or place any foreign
objects within 2 feet (61cm) of the access door.
Water in pipes, faucets and appliances could freeze. Considerable dam-
age may result.
Before you fill water into appliances and parts that transport water, you
must heat the installation area sufficiently so that water cannot freeze.
Opening the exterior water heater panel
™ NOTE: The panel will only open enough to access the pow-
er switch on the inside. This is intentional. DO NOT TRY
TO FORCE THE PANEL OPEN FURTHER.
Turn the locking knob, and open the exterior water heater
panel to the first open position (photo A).
To open the panel to the second (or service) position, the
door must first be open as shown in (A). Then lift the
door so it comes out of the slots along the bottom of the
120
