AQUA-HOT MOTORCOACH
HEATING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with an
Aqua-Hot Motorcoach heating system. The
Aqua-Hot heating system is an on-board heating
system that provides an on-demand, continuous
supply of domestic hot water, as well as interior
heat where and when it is needed. Both heating
features are accomplished by a 50,000 BTU
diesel-fired burner and a 1650 watt electric heat-
ing element (120 voltlAC). These two heating
sources maintain the temperature of the Aqua-
Hot's 50/50 solution of water and antifreeze. In
addition, the Aqua-Hot has been designed to
preheat the vehicle's engine pdor to starting.
This feature provides easy engine start-up when
cold weather conditions exist.
CAUTION
The Aqua-Hot's Exhaust is HOT!
DO NOT park in areas (i.e. dry, grassy fields) where
dry conditions exist underneath the vehicle, as a fire
may result.
DO NOT operate the Aqua-Hot inside an enclosed
building.
Operating the Aqua-Hot diesel burner or electric heat-
ing element without the 50/50 solution of water and
antifreeze will cause serious damage to the heater.
The heater must be shut OFF when refueling.

When you use the range oven for cooking or
baking, always open a vent or window to provide
ventilation. Never operate the range or oven
when you are sleeping or if your alertness is
impaired in any way.

combustion consumes the oxygen inside the motor
home.
RANGE EXHAUST HOOD
The exhaust hood allows vapors and cooking
odors to escape, and may provide a vent for the
galley area. Switches for the fan and light are
located either on the range hood or the front of the
microwave, The hood has grease filter screen(s)
which require periodic cleaning. To clean, remove
the screens and wash in soapy water, Rinse with
water and let the screens drain dry,

needed, replace the light bulb with an equiva-
lent type found on the bulb or listed in the appli-
ance owner's manual.
AIR CONDITIONER(S)
(If Equipped)

only when the motor home is connected to 120-
volt AC power from either a public utility or the
generator. Be sure the air conditioner circuit

the shade and close curtains, Close doors and
windows and set the thermostat for desired cool-
ness. Refer to the air conditioner manufacturer's
