Lp Gas Furnace; Heat Pump - Winnebago Minnie Winny 2004 Owner's Manual

LP GAS FURNACE (SUBURBAN)
Start Up:
1. Open the LP gas tank valve by turning fully
counterclockwise.
Temperature Selector
2. Move THERMOSTAT switch from Off to
Heat and press the Temp Selector button
(Up/Down arrows) until the desired tempera-
ture is shown in the display.
3. Furnace fan will start to blow immediately
after setting thermostat.
4. After about 30 seconds, the furnace burner
will light.
5. The furnace will now cycle off and on auto-
matically as the thermostat demands just like
a household furnace.
NOTE: Metal coatings used during manufacture
of the furnace burner parts may smoke
when the furnace is used for the first
time, which may also set off your smoke
alarm. If this happens, provide adequate
ventilation of the smoke to avoid a nui-
sance smoke alarm at this time. We do
not recommend removing the smoke
alarm battery. If it were inadvertently left
disconnected, the smoke alarm would be
inoperative.
To Shut Down:
1. Slide thermostat switch to "OFF" position.
2. Close LP tank valve.
APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
NOTE: If heat does not come out of the heat
ducts after a minute or so the burner is
not lit. Turn thermostat off for 3-5
minutes, check to be sure tank valve is
open and tank is not out of fuel, then try
steps 2-4 again. If it still will not light
after three attempts, go to Shut Down
steps and contact your dealer or a local
RV service center.

instructions provided in your Owner InfoCase

cautions, and periodic maintenance.
HEAT PUMP - Optional
Your coach may be optionally equipped with
an air source heat pump built into the central air
conditioning system. Because the heat pump
operates on electricity, it provides economical
heat inside your coach and helps reduce the use
of LP gas for heating in cooler weather.
A heat pump can be thought of as an air con-
ditioner running in reverse. An air conditioner
absorbs heat from the air inside of the coach and
moves it to the outside. The heat pump does
exactly the opposite. Even cold air contains some
heat, so a heat pump will extract heat from the
outside air on a cold day and carry it to the inside
of the coach to maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture.
The efficiency of a heat pump decreases as the
outdoor air temperature drops, so supplementary
heat is often needed when the outside tempera-
ture nears freezing. This system is set to automat-
ically start the LP gas furnace to assist the heat
pump if room temperature cools to 5 degrees or
more below the thermostat set temperature. You
may wish to manually switch to furnace heat to
maintain a higher temperature when outside tem-
peratures begin to reduce the efficiency of the
heat pump. The heat pump will not operate when
the outside temperature falls below 36 degrees F.
To operate the heat pump:
• Slide the Thermostat switch to Electric heat
mode.
