OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
– Electric –
Electric water heaters are designed to operate with a minimum amount of service
problems; however, proper operation and care is essential.
By far the most common trouble with electric water heaters results from
energizing the water heater before it is filled with water. Even brief operation of
the electric element without water in the tank will burn-out the electric heating
element.
Before the electric element will operate, the switch located behind the water
heater door in the lower left corner of the control housing must be in the "ON"
position.
To energize the electric element, locate the Switch, Lamp and Plate assembly
inside the RV and turn the switch marked "ELECTRIC" to the "ON" position. The
water heater temperature will be regulated by the thermostat.

TO TURN OFF WATER HEATER

1. Turn switch to "OFF" position.
2. Turn off electrical power to the appliance.
3. Turn off gas supply.
4. If vehicle is to be stored or heater is going to be turned off while subject
to freezing temperature, drain water heater. (See "Draining and Storage
Instructions.")
