I need help, I have a pilot light switch on the panel, and I assumed that when I turn on the propane then turn the pilot to on it should light the water heater?
If on generator or shore power, propane off, how does it turn on?
Do I also use the pilot light ? I notice a small window on the outside panel, this shows if the flames is on. I want to try this at home before the trip, thanks in advance

Make sure the tank is full before turning on the heater or you will burn out the electrical heating element in a hurry. Either lift the relief valve at the heater or turn on a hot water faucet to ensure you have flow (ie full HW tank).
When you flip the propane switch on the panel there may be a red LED light that lights for a few seconds then the burner will light; don’t get worried when you see the LED go turn off.
There’s no LED associated with using the heater on electric, just ensure there is water in the tank.
