for quicker recovery at times when you are using
a lot of hot water.
Read the Atwood Gas Water Heater Installa-
tion and Operation Manual for complete Safety
Warnings, Operating Instructions and Mainte-
nance Information before operating the water
heater.
Be sure the water heater is filled with
water before starting either electric or LP
operation. To fill the water heater, turn the
Water Pump switch on and open a hot water fau-
cet anywhere in the coach. When water begins to
flow steadily from the faucet, the water heater is
full.
For Electric Operation: Turn on the Water
Heater electric element switch, which is located
on a wall in the galley area or in a cabinet near
the microwave oven or refrigerator, depending
on model. The shoreline must be connected for
electric operation.
Electric Water Heater Switch
For LP Gas Operation: Press the Water
Heater switch on the Monitor Panel. The "Pilot
Out" light will glow for about 10-15 seconds,
then it will go out. If the "Pilot Out" light comes
on during LP operation, it means that the burner
has gone into "lockout" mode and must be
restarted. If this happens, turn the Water Heater
switch off for about 5 minutes, then turn it back
on. See the Atwood user's guide in your Owners
InfoCase for further information.

For Quick Recovery Operation (Dual):
Turn On both Water Heater switches; the gas one
on the monitor panel and the electric one. This
will help reheat the water heater tank more
quickly than a single source would alone. Use
this mode when you are using a larger than nor-
mal volume of hot water, for example, when
someone is taking a shower and the dishwasher
or clothes washer is also being used.
Gas Safety Information
A. This appliance does not have a pilot light. It
is equipped with an ignition device that auto-
matically lights the burner. Do Not try to
light the burner by hand.
B. Before lighting, smell around the appliance
area for gas. Be sure to smell near floor
because LP gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• 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.
