THE GAS SYSTEM
VENTILATION
All ventilation complies with EN 721. Vents
should not be obstructed in any manner as
this could lead to insufficient ventilation. In
this case the atmosphere becomes depleted
of oxygen which leads to the formation of the
highly poisonous gas Carbon Monoxide. Carbon
Monoxide is odourless, colourless and tasteless
and could rapidly cause unconsciousness
leading to death with little or no warning prior.
Under no circumstances should the
caravan’s ventilation be blocked or
obstructed in any way.
High level ventilation is via the roof lights. Low
level ventilation is via the vents in the floor
in the caravan living area. With multi-berth
layouts the rear sleeping compartments have
their own low level ventilation. Please consult
your caravan retailer for its location.
The mesh screens fitted should be kept free of
obstructions by dust, leaves, insects etc.
Inspect regularly and use a brush and soapy
water as necessary. It may be necessary to
remove the weather shield located on the
underside of the floor of the caravan to gain
access for cleaning.
All flue installations should be inspected once a
year, throughout their life, for corrosion. Flues
should be replaced if any sign of degradation
is found. Ensure that the replacement is of an
approved type. Check that the external seal
is seating correctly and the locknut is fully
tightened.
Do not make any additional openings
in the floor.
Appliances such as cookers with
naked flames should never be used for
room heating.
No appliance shall be used inside
when being connected to the external
BBQ socket.
GAS BBQ POINT
The external gas BBQ point should never be
used as a gas inlet it should only ever be used
as a connection outlet.
Please be aware that contaminated
gas will cause regulators to become
damaged and fail. Any such failure
caused by contaminated gas will not
be covered by your warranty.
