APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
2. If "W.H. Pilot" light stays on longer than 15
seconds, place switch in "Off" position and
wait 5 minutes.
3. Repeat step one.
4. If heater fails to operate due to high water
temperature, the heater will go into a lockout
condition ("W.H. Pilot" light on). When
water cools, reset by placing switch in "Off"
position for at least 30 seconds, then return
to "On" position.
5. If a lockout condition persists: contact your
dealer, an Atwood Service Station or
Atwood Service Department (Phone: 815-
877-5700).
6. For complete shut-down before servicing:
a) Place Water Heater switch in "Off" posi-
tion.
b) Remove red wire from left-hand terminal
of ECO switch (ECO to valve).
CAUTION
The temperature knob or lever is fac-
tory adjusted to its lowest setting. We
recommend the mid-point position
between warm and hot, as noted
above. This will provide for energy
efficient operation and sufficiently
hot water. Setting at a higher position
will produce a higher temperature and
increase the risk of being scalded.
GAS/ELECTRIC
WATER HEATER - Optional
(with Motor Aid water heating
system)
Capacity: 10 gal.
The optional 10 gallon gas/electric water
heater has a dual power feature. It can operate
from LP gas or 110-volt house current; or it can
use both at the same time for quicker recovery at
times when you are using a lot of hot water.

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. The shoreline
must be connected for electric operation.
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. The "Heater On" indicator
will remain lit. 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.
