NOTE I
The
individual appliance manuals included in your
Owner's
Information
Package contain detailed
operating and maintenance instructions. Always refer
to
the
respective manual for the appliance
in
question.
WARNING
The water heater and furnace combustion air exhaust
ports may be hot when the water heater and furnace
are operating. Do not touch these outlets or
allow any
material
to
come near the exhaust ports while operat-
ing the water heater and/or furnace.
WATER HEATER
The water heater operates on LP gas, or,
if
so
equipped, with 120-volt AC power, and is much
like the one in your home.
It
contains an auto-
matic shut off valve which stops the gas supply
if
the water temperature rises too high.
The water heater is reached through an access
panel on the outside
of
the motor home.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the galley sink.
If
water flows continuously the heater
is
full.
CAUTION
Do not light water heater until it is filled with water.
Water Heater Bypass Valve
This valve is provided to cut off the flow
of
water
to
the water heater. The water heater bypass valve
greatly reduces the quantity
of
antifreeze required
to winterize the water system. The valve is usu-
ally located near the water heater. Consult with
your dealer for the location for your particular
unit.
APPLIANCES
To
bypass the water heater, turn the lever valve
vertical.
To
supply water heater with water, turn lever
horizontal.

REFRIGERATOR
Read the operating instmctions furnished in your
Owner's Information Package. Before operating
the refrigerator when the motor home
is
parked,
make sure it is level.
If
it is not level, the refrig-
erant will not circulate, cooling action will stop,
and the refrigeration system may be damaged.
The refrigerator uses the absorption principle
of
operation.
If
you plan to cool food
or
drinks
in
high outside temperatures, precool the food,
and,
if
possible, park the motor home with the
refrigerator vent door
in
the shade. Once the
interior
of
the refrigerator is cool, the refrigera-
tion system will usually maintain this tempera-
ture.
If
the inside
of
the refrigerator is hot, the
food is not precooled, and the outside tempera-
ture
is
high, it will take longer for your food to
be cooled.
FURNACE
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by LP
gas. All furnaces are equipped with a wall ther-
mostat for temperature setting.
The furnace will not operate properly
if
your
stored personal items block the free flow
of
air at
10-1
