SECTION 4 –
APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
WATER HEATER – GAS/
ELECTRIC
–If Equipped
The gas/electric water heater has a dual power
feature. It can operate from propane gas or 120-
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.
Read the Water Heater Operation Manual for
complete Safety Warnings, Operating
Instructions and Maintenance Information
before operating the water heater.
Be sure the water heater is filled with water
before starting either electric or propane gas
operation. To fill the water heater, turn the
Water Pump switch on and open a hot water
faucet anywhere in the coach. When water begins
to flow steadily from the faucet, the water heater
is full.
For Propane Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater switch on the Systems
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 gas 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.
Gas Water Heater Switch
(Located on Systems Monitor Panel)
4-14
For Electric Operation
Turn on the Water Heater electric element
switch. The shoreline must be connected or
generator running for electric operation.
Electric Water Heater Switch
(Typically located near Systems
Monitor Panel)
For Quick Recovery Operation
(Dual Heating)
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
normal volume of hot water.
Further Information
See the Water Heater manufacturer's
operation manual provided in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions, safety warnings,
and maintenance information.
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.
