Can someone help me out with the steps to follow for using the Suburban SW6DE (Direct Spark & Elec) hot water heater? I'd like to understand what steps to follow if using propane only, or electric only, or both propane and electricity.

I've read the operation manual, but am still a bit confused about steps and sequence. I know the first thing I'm supposed to do is once I'm hooked up to water (either city connection or fresh water tank & pump), I need to open the hot water faucets and fill the Hot Water heater tank.

Thanks for any instructions you can provide.

Hi Cindy,

After you have purged all of the air out and the hot water tank is ready, turn on your propane tank. Then turn on the hot water for propane operation by flipping the switch on the panel on the front of the sink. There is an indicator light next to the switch which should come on. When the air is purged out of the propane tube,the water heater will ignite and then the indicator light will go out.

To operate on 120 volt power. When the trailer is plugged in, open the access door to the water heater compartment. In the lower lefthand corner of that compartment is a small black rocker switch. To operate the hot water heater on 120 volt turn that switch on. You can run them both at the same time or seperately.

Hope this helps...
