The circulation fan is automatically switched on when the hot-air heater
is activated, and it stays on. This puts an immense strain on the living
area battery, if the vehicle is not connected to an external 230 V power
supply. Take into consideration that the living area battery only has lim-
ited reserves of energy.
Never use the production of hot water without water inside it.
When the production of hot water of the heater is not used, empty the
domestic water container if there is a risk of frost.
Only operate the production of hot water with the maximum temperature
setting if you require a large quantity of warm water. This protects the
appliance against the build-up of limescale.
Do not use the water heated by the heater as drinking water.
Operate the heater a few minutes under full load at regular intervals (at
least every 3 months) to remove condensation. This prevents odours.
When lighting the heater for the first time a small amount of smoke and
odour will occur. Immediately set the operating switch of the heater to its
highest position. Open doors and windows and ventilate well. Smoke and
odour will disappear by themselves after a while.
9.2.1 To heat properly
Fig. 58 Air outlet nozzle (hot-air
heater)
Several air outlet nozzles (Fig. 58) are built into the vehicle. Pipes conduct
the warm air to the air outlet nozzles. Turn the air outlet nozzles in a suitable
position so the air can escape as required. To avoid draft close the air outlet
nozzles on the dashboard and set the air distribution of the base vehicle to
air circulation.
Fully open: Full hot air stream
Half or partially open: Reduced hot air stream
When five air outlet nozzles are completely opened, less warm air escapes
through each nozzle. However, if only three air outlet nozzles are opened,
more warm air flows out of each nozzle.
