6.3.3 Flushing to Remove Unpleasant
Odor
3. Reinstall the drain plug.
A rotten egg odor (hydrogen sulfide) may be
produced when the electro-galvanic action of
the cladding material releases hydrogen from
the water. If sulfur is present in the water
supply, the two will combine and produce an
unpleasant smell.
1. Turn off the main water supply.
2. Remove the drain plug to drain the water
heater tank.
6.3.2 Flushing the Tank
1. Turn off the main water supply (the pump or
water hook up source).
2. Remove the drain plug to drain the water
from the tank.
Use this procedure for general flushing of the
water heater tank.
NOTICE
If the water drains sporadically or
trickles out of the drain hole, open the
T&P relief valve then use a small gauge
wire or coat hanger to remove any
obstructions from the drain hole.
3. Continue flushing the tank until the water
being flushed from the drain coupling is
draining as clear water.
With the tank drained, approximately two
quarts of water remain at the bottom of the
tank. This water contains most of the
corrosive particles. To remove these
particles, use an "RV Water Heater Flushing
Tool." The wand of this flushing tool allows
the water jet to clean at different angles
inside of the tank. Cleaning at different
angles inside of the tank will suspend and
flush the corrosive particles out of the drain
coupling.
4. Replace the drain plug.
Maintenance and Care
NOTICE
The two quarts of water remaining in
the tank after draining the tank will not
cause damage to the tank should
freezing occur.
3. Replace the drain plug and close the T&P
relief valve.
2. Drain the water heater tank by removing the
drain plug.
If you use water pressure, pump fresh water
into the tank with the assistance of the on-

seconds to allow the fresh water to agitate
the stagnant water on the bottom of the tank
and force deposits through the
After draining the tank, because of the
placement of the drain plug, approximately
two quarts of water will remain in the tank.
This water contains most of the harmful
corrosive particles. To remove these harmful
corrosive particles, flush the tank with either
air or water. Whether using air or water
pressure, it may be applied through the inlet
or outlet on the rear of the tank or the T&P
relief valve. (If using the T&P relief valve, the
handle must be pulled straight out). The
pressure will force out the remaining water
and the corrosive particles.
drain opening. Continue adding water and
draining until the particles have been

Maintenance and Care
3. Turn off pressure pump on water system.
4. Open both hot and cold water faucets.
6. Follow RV manufacturer's instructions for
draining entire water system.
If RV is to be stored during winter months, the
water heater must be drained to prevent

5. Remove anode rod from tank. The anode rod
is accessible at the front of the water heater.
NOTICE
Be certain to refill water heater with
water and remove all air from tank and
lines before re-lighting or before
turning on electrical power.
6.5 Draining and Storage Instructions
Replacement T & P Relief Valve Parts
Ÿ Do not install anything less than a
combination T & P relief valve certified by a
nationally recognized testing laboratory that
maintains periodic inspection of product of
listed equipment or materials, as meeting
requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic
Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply
Systems, ANSI Z21.22. The Valve must have a
maximum set pressure not to exceed 150 PSI
(1034.21 kPa).
Water Weeping or Dripping From Pressure
Relief Valve
You may experience water weeping or
dripping from your water heater's Pressure
and Temperature (T & P) Relief Valve when
your water heater is operating. Water weeping
or dripping from the T & P Valve does not
always mean the T & P Valve is defective. As
water is heated, it expands. The water system
in a recreational vehicle is a closed system and
does not allow for the expansion of heated
water. When the pressure of the water system
exceeds the relieving point of the T & P Valve,
the valve will relieve the excess pressure.
Recommends that a check valve not be
installed directly at the inlet to the water
heater tank. This will increase weeping of the
pressure relief valve.
A T & P relief valve dripping while the Water
Heater is running does not mean it is defective.
During normal expansion of water, as it is
heated in the closed water system of an RV,
may cause the T&P relief valve to drip. The
water heater tank is designed with an internal
air gap at the top of the tank to reduce the
possibility of dripping. Over time, the
expanding water will absorb this air and it
must be restored. Due to variations in water
quality, the T&P relief valve may have a shorter
life and may need replacement within the
Water Heater warranty period. If corrosion is
detected, it will not be covered under
warranty.
Ÿ Installation must conform with local codes or
in the absence of local codes, American
National Standard for Recreational Vehicles,
ANSI A119.2/NFPA 50IC.
Ÿ Install the valve into the provided opening
marked for this purpose on the Water Heater.
Ÿ For an external electrical source, ground this
unit in accordance with National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA70.

6.7 Using After-Market Water
Heating Element Devices
WARNING: EXPLOSION AND OR BURN
INJURY.
Ÿ Do not use after-market heating
elements. After market heating
elements can lack critical safety
controls.
Ÿ Do not use bug screens, anode rods
or other non-approved devices with
this water heater.
Failure to obey the following
warnings could result in death or
serious injury:
Ÿ The use of after-market heating
elements can lead to uncontrolled

NOTICE
Ÿ Any alteration, such as the addition
of an after-market heating element
device, will void the warranty.
Ÿ The use of any after-market heating
element devices may result in
damage to components or the water
heater.
If your water heater plumbing system is
equipped with a bypass kit, use it to close off
the water heater, drain the water heater
completely and leave the water heater closed
off (out of the system) in the bypass position
particularly if you are introducing antifreeze
into the plumbing system. Antifreeze can be
very corrosive to the anode rod creating
premature failure and heavy sediment in the
tank. If the plumbing system is not equipped
with a bypass kit, and you intend to winterize
by adding antifreeze to the system, remove the
anode rod (storing it for the winter) and replace
it with a 3/4" drain plug.

background
Phenomenon
Reason and handling method
White smoke at exhaust
When the outdoor temperature is too low, the exhausted smoke
encounters outdoor cold air and condenses into a white mist.
Failure to provide hot water
during winter
Please adjust the amount of water appropriately.
The water temperature is too low, the water flow exceeds the
heating capacity of the water heater.
After opening, hot water
does not come immediately
On the one hand, the time lag between the hot water valve and
machine body may be the reason. On the other hand, the
existed cold water within pipeline takes time to be showered
out, the longer the pipeline, the longer time it takes.
