120-Volt AC Electrical OperationMAJOR APPLIANCES & ACCESSORIES1. For electrical operation, use the power switch on the water heater; depending on the particular model,that switch may be located either at the front or at the rear of the water heater.2. Completely fill the water heater with water and purge the hot-water lines of any trapped air.3. Turn the power switch located on the water heater “on.” NOTE: Turning the power “on” to thewater heater without having previously covered the water-heating element with water may quickly burnout the element and void the warranty.4. After awhile, check the water heater for proper operation; the water temperature should beapproximately 140°F (60°C).5. If the manual-reset, high-temperature-limit switch should trip the circuit breaker; reset the switch bydepressing the reset button--use a pencil or other non-metallic object to depress the reset button. If thehigh-temperature-limit switch should again trip the circuit breaker, contact an authorized servicetechnician or an authorized dealer.6. Both the electrical and gas operations of the water heater may be used simultaneously to reducerecovery time of heating water up to desired temperature.For general maintenance of the water heater or specific information about select steps in operating the waterheater, please refer to the owner’s manual for this appliance contained in the Owner’s Information Package.WarningDO NOT STORE any combustible or flammable substances near or adjacent to the waterheater. Provide adequate space for ventilation and air circulation.Water Heater StorageIf the motor home is to be stored during the winter months, the water heater should be drained to preventdamage caused by freezing water contained in the water heater. To drain the water heater, first turn “off” allelectrical power, turn “off” the LP gas going to the water heater, then turn “off” the water pump. Open boththe hot- and the cold-water faucets to drain the water lines and open the drain plug on the water heater to drainthe entire system.When re-activating the water heater after the motor home is taken out of storage, make sure that the entirewater system, including the water heater, has been filled with water and the lines have been purged of anyentrapped air before relighting the water heater. Failure to do so may allow the water-heating element to beturned “on” before such is immersed in water; thereby, causing the premature failure of the heating elementand voiding the warranty.4-15
Pressure-Relief ValveMAJOR APPLIANCES & ACCESSORIESThe relief valve for over-pressure and over-temperature conditions is located on the exterior of the waterheater. This valve will operate if the water temperature reaches or exceeds 210°F or if the water pressurereaches or exceeds 150 psig. Since the water system in the motor home is a closed system when all water valvesare shut, the water-heating cycle can raise the temperature (and, consequently, the pressure) of the water in thewater heater; thereby realizing pressure increases approaching 150 psig.Should this pressure be reached, the pressure-relief valve will begin “weeping,” that is, minor dripping orleakage from that valve until the pressure drops below 150 psig, at which time the pressure-relief valve will reseatitself and restrict the water flow. This is normal operation and should not be a cause for alarm. Do notobstruct or block the pressure-relief valve in any way, as this would keep the valve from functioning normallyand protecting the hot water system.CB Radio System Antenna ConnectionThe Allegro Bay comes equipped with an antenna and coaxial-cable connection (Figure 4-18) to enable theowner to install a Citizens Band (CB) radio of choice and operate itconveniently from the Allegro Bay. The coaxial-cable connection for theradio is found beneath the dashboard on the driver’s side.Accordingly, with an owner-provided CB radio, that radio can be used tocommunicate with other travelers on the road. To use the one’s CB systemof choice, simply follow the directions furnished with the CB radio. (Note:Channel 11 is considered an emergency channel and monitoring this channelmay give one information about road conditions, accidents, and relatedmatters potentially affecting the travels of the motor-home operator).Figure 4-18. CB Antenna SystemTo talk with someone, simply press the “push-to-talk” switch and speak. To listen to any reply, release the“push-to-talk” switch and listen to the speaker. Remember that communications are “one-way,” not “twoway”simultaneously—one must talk, then allow some listening time for others to talk. Consequently, it’s betterto make brief transmissions and allow others to comment; rather than making prolonged speeches and possiblynot having anyone answer.Observe the common courtesies (see the owner’s manual for more details) and acceptable speech. Severalstates have their Highway Patrols monitor the CB frequencies (check for exact channels for each state ofinterest) to learn about highway problems and emergencies. Be aware of these throughout one’s travels, in theevent that they may be needed.Rear-View Camera Monitor SystemThe rear-view monitoring system (Figure 4-19) is provided to aid the driver inbacking and parking the motor home. A camera mounted on the rear of thevehicle feeds a televised view of the rear of the motor home to the monitorlocated in the front near the driver.4-16Figure 4-19. Rear-ViewCamera Monitoring System
