Pressure & temperature relief valve
When cold water is heated in the water heater tank, the water pressure will rise.
For this reason, a pressure and temperature (P&T) relief valve is required for
safety in all water heaters. It is normal for the P&T relief valve to release a small
quantity of water during the heating cycle and does not indicate a defective P&T
relief valve. One way to reduce the frequency of the water weeping or dripping
from the P&T relief valve is to maintain an air pocket at the top of the water heater.
This air pocket will form in the tank by design; however, it will be reduced over
time by the everyday use of your water heater (refer to the manufacturer's
manual); If the weeping persists, consult your dealer or a service agency
authorized by the water heater manufacturer.

UTSIDE HOWER
A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water is available for washing
or rinsing outside the RV.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
2. If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON.
3. Open the outside shower compartment door.
4. Remove the hand held showerhead and hose from its holder.
5. Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as
desired.
6. To activate the hand held shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment
(some models. Open the faucet knobs and adjust them to the desired
temperature.
To cease operation, close the faucet knobs. After the water has been allowed to
drain from the shower head, replace it in the outside shower compartment. Any
remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is not a leak but
performs as intended.
The showerhead can be removed to drain the hose faster. If you choose to
remove the showerhead to drain the hose, reassemble it for storage. Coil the hose
and arrange it with the showerhead inside the faucet assembly. Make sure that the
hose is not being pinched and the showerhead is not being damaged when the
door is closed.

AUCETS
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds; therefore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the
water temperature before showering or washing.
The faucets operate much the same way as the faucets in your home. Make sure
there is sufficient water available and, if dry camping, the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating. To open the faucets, turn the hot and cold knobs ON
and adjust the temperature to your comfort level. Close the faucets when a
sufficient amount of water is released.
