Specifications
N.B. If only the cold water system is being
used the heater tank will still be filled with water
and to avoid frost damage it should always be
drained as described below.
DRAINING THE WATER HEATER
1. Disconnect the water pump and switch off
power supply where appropriate.
2. Open all hot and cold water taps.
3. Open safety/drain valve and leave in
vertical position (f).
4. The water heater will now drain directly to
the outside. If towing, it is useful to leave
the drain valve open as movement of the
motorhome will help to ensure that the
system is completely drained.
5. Ensure that if a water filter is fitted that this
is also drained as well as any water left in
the submersible pump.
GAS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Control Panel (Gas Operation)
Switching on
1. Remove the external cowl cover by
applying pressure with both thumbs to the
illustration on the cover whilst pulling the
cowl away with the forefingers.
2. Ensure the supply is turned on at the gas
cylinder.
3. Select the required water temperature at
the rotary control. This can be varied
between 30° and 70°C.
4. Switch on the water heater at the slide
switch (a) on the control panel. The green
indicator lamp should light up.
5. Any air in the gas supply line may take up
to a minute to clear. If the red indicator light
comes on wait 5 minutes and switch on
again.
Switching off
Switch the heater off using the slide switch (a),
draining it if there is a risk of frost.
If the heater is not to be used for a longer
period the cowl cover should be fitted to
ensure that the functioning of the appliance is
not impaired by water, dirt or insects. Failure to
do this could invalidate the warranty. Turn off
the gas supply at the cylinder.
Red indicator lamp
If this red indicator light is continuously lit this
denotes a failure.
First check that gas is available from the
cylinder and if, after waiting five minutes for a
possible air-lock to clear, the appliance will still
not operate consult your Explorer Group
distributor.
WARNING:
Never operate the water heater without
water in it. Always remove the external
cowl prior to using the water heater.
WARNING:
Water may be hot enough to scald.
