Water Heater (If Equipped)

HOT HAZARD!
Water heated by the water heater can reach temperatures hot enough to scald the skin.
WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD!
• DO NOT turn On the water heater electrical circuit on the AC panel until the water heater
tank is COMPLETELY filled with water.
• Even momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements.
• Warranty replacements WILL NOT be made on elements damaged in this manner.
• The tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is turned On in the galley.
• The water heater should be drained and the power turned Off when the possibility of
freezing exists.
If your boat is connected to shore power or generator power, but the water heater is
not working:
• Make sure the water heater circuit breaker on the AC panel is switched On.
If the circuit breaker on the AC panel is On, but the water heater is still not working:
• Consult with your dealer about checking the "push to reset" circuit breaker located on the
water heater.
• The water heater is connected to the AC power system, therefore you must make sure that the water heater
breaker on the AC panel is turned On before water will be heated.
• Read the manufacturer's instruction manual supplied in your owner's packet and observe the
warnings above.
