Winterization
Freezing of the water heater and its plumbing components will result in severe damage not
covered by warranty. For this reason it is advisable to follow the recommendation(s) below
if the unit is to be stored in a freezing environment or for long periods of time. At the start
of the winter season or before traveling to a location where freezing conditions are likely,
the unit must be winterized.
The very small amount of water present in the heat exchanger
DOES NOT
require the in-
stallation of a bypass kit. Refer to the
Winterization
section for details.
Pressure - Temperature Relief Valve
THIS VALVE IS A SAFETY COMPONENT AND MUST NOT BE REMOVED FOR
ANY REASON OTHER THAN REPLACEMENT.
THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED BY A QUALI-
FIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
Maintenance
Inspect your water heater monthly and have it serviced at least once a year by the manu-
facturer’s recommended service technician. If you have further questions contact your RV
dealer, the manufacturer, or Customer Service.
For more information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide
SCALDING INJURY-EXPLOSION
