Use this atlas to identify likely meaning and prepare for service. Shut off power, LP gas, fuel, or water when a listed appliance condition involves flame, gas smell, exhaust, generator shutdown, high temperature, moving jacks/slides, refrigerant, 120 VAC, control boards, repeated ignition failure, or a persistent lockout. Call the appliance maker, RV dealer, or a qualified RV technician for repair.
Owner-safe checklist
- Slow hot-water flow if supply water is very cold and the heater is at capacity.
- Keep one fixture flowing steadily while checking temperature.
- Stop use if temperature becomes unsafe or unstable.
- Call service if the burner lights but the water remains too cool.
