• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Get out of the coach immediately and turn
off the LP gas tank at the main tank valve.
(See photo on page 5-2.)
• Use a neighbor's phone to call your Win-
nebago Industries dealer or a local gas sup-
plier for instructions. Do not use a phone in
your coach. Follow the dealer's or gas sup-
plier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach a Winnebago Industries
dealer or a local gas supplier, call the fire
department.
• Have the source of the leak corrected before
using the LP gas system again.
Operating Instructions
1. STOP! Read the safety information provided
in the Atwood Water Heater Operation Man-
ual in your Owners InfoCase.
2. Turn off water heater power switches.
3. Turn LP gas supply off.
4. Wait five minutes for any gas to clear the
area. If you smell gas, then stop and follow
item B of the Safety Information above. If
you don't smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Turn on LP gas main tank valve.
6. Turn on the water heater switch on the moni-
tor panel. You may hear a clicking noise as
the ignition element begins working. If the
burner does not light on first try, the system
will stop trying to light burner and go to
lockout mode.
7. If lockout happens before main burner lights,
turn switch OFF, wait five seconds and turn
switch back on. This will restart the ignition
cycle. The first start-up of the water heater
after it has not been used for a long time may
require several ignition cycles before all the
air is purged from the gas lines and gas
begins to flow.
If the burner will not come on, check the fol-
lowing items before calling for service.
1. Is the switch turned on?
2. Dos the LP tank have gas in it or is main
tank valve turned on?
3. Is the ECO Reset button tripped? (See

ual in your Owners InfoCase.)

tion.

Storage Instructions in Atwood Water Heater
Operation Manual in your Owners InfoCase.
Pressure-Temperature Relief Valve
On occasion, water may be seen seeping from
the water heater pressure temperature relief
valve. This is no cause for repair or replacement
of the valve.
P-T Relief Valve
Normally there is an air gap at the top of the
water heater tank which acts as a pressure buffer.
In time, however, heated water may expand and
fill this air gap, causing a slight increase in water
pressure. This may cause the P-T valve to "weep"
until the air gap is manually replaced.
OPERATE THIS VALVE ONLY WHEN
THE WATER HEATER AND COOLING SYS-
TEM ARE COLD!
