FOR WHITE RODGERS ® CONTROL (
FIG 7)
a. Turn lighting control knob ( FIG 7-B) to PILOT position and hold
against stop while lighting pilot burner ( FIG 9-D).
b. Allow pilot to burn 30 seconds then release lighting control knob.
c. Turn lighting control knob (
FIG 7-B) to ON position.
d. If pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing longer peri-
od before releasing lighting control knob.
e. Set temperature selection lever ( FIG 7-A) at mark between warm
and hot position.
f. Close access door.
FOR A ROBERTSHAW UNITROL ® ( FIG 8)
a. Turn lighting control dial ( FIG 8-B) to PILOT position.
b. Depress and hold reset push button ( FIG 8-A) while lighting pilot
burner ( FIG 9-D).
c. Allow pilot to burn 30 seconds before releasing reset push button.
d. If pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing longer peri-
od before releasing reset push button.
e. Turn lighting control dial ( FIG 8-B) to ON position.
f. Set temperature control dial ( FIG 8-C) at mid-point position
between warm and hot.
g. Close access door.
4. For complete shut down and before servicing, turn gas control knob
( FIG 7-B or FIG 8-B) to OFF position. When water heater is not in use
set temperature control lever (White Rogers ® ) or dial (Robertshaw ® )
to lowest possible position.

WARNING
SCALDING INJURY
• Setting temperature control dial at a higher position will produce exces-
sively hot water.
The temperature knob or lever is factory adjusted to its lowest dial set-
ting. We recommended the mid-point position between warm and hot,
as noted above. This will provide for energy efficient operation and
sufficient hot water. Valves for reducing point of use temperature by
mixing cold and hot water are available. Consult a licensed plumber or
local plumbing authority.
5. To Adjust Main Burner ( FIG 9):
a. Loosen air shutter screw ( FIG 9-A).
b. Slide air shutter ( FIG 9-B) to right until some yellow appears in
main burner flame.
c. Move air shutter ( FIG 9-B) to left until yellow disappears.
d. Retighten air shutter screw ( FIG 9-A).

ELECTRONIC IGNITION OPERATION
1. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM. Place remote switch in ON position.
2. If remote switch light stays on longer than 15 seconds, place
remote switch in OFF position and wait 5 minutes.
3. Repeat step one.
4. For complete shut-down and before servicing:
a. Place remote switch in OFF position.
b. Remove red wire from left hand terminal of ECO switch (ECO to
valve).
5. If heater fails to operate due to high water temperature, a lockout
condition occurs (indicator light on). After water cools, reset switch
in OFF position for at least 30 seconds, then turn to ON position.
6. If a lockout condition persists contact an Atwood Service Center.

COMBO gas/electric ELECTRIC OPERATION
1. For gas operation refer to Pilot, Pilot Relight or Electronic Ignition
OPERATION section (as applicable).
2. For electrical operation use switch at the rear of water heater.
3. Completely fill tank with water.
4. Turn switch ON ( FIG 11-B) (located at rear of water heater).
NOTE : Turning power on to heater without water covering heating ele-
ment may burn out element and void warranty.
5. Check for proper operation. Water temperature is set at 140°F (60°C).
6. If the manual reset high temperature limit switch should operate,
reset switch ( FIG 11-A) by depressing with pencil or other nonmetal-
lic object. If still experiencing problems contact an authorized
Atwood Service Center or Atwood Service Department.

WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
• Shut off gas supply at LP container before disconnecting a gas line.
• Keep control compartment clean and free of gasoline, combustible
material, and flammable liquids and vapors.
AFTERMARKET WATER HEATING ELEMENT DEVICES
ƽ
WARNING
EXPLOSION / BURN INJURY
• DO NOT alter water heater, it will void warranty.
• DO NOT USE Aftermarket heating elements, they can lack critical safety
controls.
• Use of Aftermarket heating elements can lead to an out of control
heating of water tank and a catastrophic wet side explosion.
The use of any aftermarket heating element devices may also result in
damage to components or water heater. Atwood’s written warranty
states - “failure or damage resulting from any alteration to our water
heater is the owner’s responsibility”. Any alteration, like the addition of
an aftermarket heating element device, will void the warranty.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• LP and Water system must be turned on.
• Have gas pressure tested periodically. Should be set at 11 inches of
water column with three appliances running.
• Drain water heater at regular intervals (at least one time during the
year).
• Drain water heater before storing RV for the winter or when the pos-
sibility of freezing exists.
• Keep vent and combustion air grill clear of any obstructions.
• Periodically, compare flame of main and pilot burners with
FIG
➈
and main burner adjustments in HOW TO OPERATE YOUR WATER HEATER .
• When water heater is not in use set temperature control lever (White
Rogers) or dial (Robertshaw) to lowest possible position. This will
reduce the effects of low outdoor temperatures on calibration of
temperature control mechanism.
• Presence of soot indicates the need to adjust flue.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION MAINTENANCE
• The water heater comes factory-equipped with a fused circuit board,
which will protect the circuit board from wiring shorts. If the fuse
should activate, the water heater will not operate. Before replacing
the fuse, check for a short external to the board. Once the short is
corrected, replace the 2 amp fuse with a mini ATO style fuse. Do not
install a fuse larger than 3 amps.
• If the fuse is good and the unit is inoperative, check for excessively
high voltage to the unit (more than 14 volts).
• If the previous two steps did not solve the problem, check the ther-
mal cut-off. The thermal cutoff is a device installed in the power
supply line. This device will shut off electrical power and stop
heater operation when activated. For example, if an obstruction
within the flue tube should occur, such as described above in the
Preventative maintenance section, the burner flame/heat may con-
tact the cutoff, resulting in a melting of the fuse element incorporat-
ed in the thermal cutoff. In order to restore power and proper oper-
ation of the water heater, the obstruction must be removed and the
thermal cutoff must be replaced.
