5. Set the lever at the mark between the warm and hot position.
6. Close access door.
CAUTION: The temperature knob or lever is factory adjusted to its lowest dial
setting. We recommend the mid-point position between warm and hot, as noted
above. This will provide for energy efficient operation and sufficient hot water.
Setting at a higher position will produce a higher temperature and increase the risk
of being scalded. Valves for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and
hot water are available. Consult a licensed plumber or your local plumbing authority.
Pilot Flame
The gas control pilot has been “preset” for maximum
pilot flow by the manufacturer. (Fig. 5-3)
To Adjust Main Burner
(See Fig. 5-4)
1. Loosen air shutter screw.
2. Slide air shutter to the right until some yellow appears
in the main flame.
3. Move air shutter to left until yellow disappears.
4. Retighten air shutter screw.
Flushing Instructions
The Atwood water heater is recommended for recreational vehicle use. If your folding
camping trailer is used frequently, or taken to different areas that use various types of
water, it is recommended that the water heater be flushed periodically throughout the year
to prolong the life of the inner tank. The following procedure summarizes the steps
necessary for flushing the water heater inner tank.
1. Turn off the main water supply (pump or water hook-up source).
2. Drain your water heater inner tank. Approximately two quarts of water will remain
in the bottom of the tank. This water contains a great deal of the harmful corrosive
material that has accumulated in the tank.
3. Flush tank with air pressure or fresh water to remove remaining water.
Air Pressure: Air pressure may be applied through the inlet or outlet valve located
on the rear of the tank or the relief valve prior to flushing and insert air pressure
through the relief valve support flange.
Fresh Water: Pump fresh water into tank with the assistance of an onboard pump
or external water pressure. This may also be hosed into the tank through the inlet or
outlet valve located on the rear of the tank or the relief valve located on the front of
the unit. If the relief valve is used, remove the relief valve prior to flushing and
insert air pressure through the relief valve support flange. Continue this process for
approximately five minutes allowing ample time for the water to agitate the stagnant
water on the bottom of the tank and thus forcing the depositing through the drain
opening.
4. Close the drain and relief valves.
