HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
WHALE UNDERFLOOR HEATER
Operating Instructions
For operation of the heater, a 12 V d.c.
supply must be connected at all times. To
operate the heater’s electric elements, it must
also be connected to a suitable 230V a.c.
supply.
Fan only operation. Turn the selector knob to
the fan on ( ) position.
Gas operation. Turn the selector knob to the
gas on ( ) position. There will be a pre-
purge pause of approx. 30 sec’s to allow any
un-burnt gas to leave the flue. A green LED
will light upon successful flame ignition. If
there is air in the gas supply line it may take
a few attempts for the gas to ignite. See
section 9 for gas lockout re-setting. If the
ignition is not satisfactory the red LED will
flash, refer to the trouble shooting guide (see
section 9).
Electric operation. The space heater is
equipped with 3 power settings 500W /
1000W / 2000W. Turn the selector knob to
low power setting ( ) for 500W. Turn the
selector knob to medium power setting ( )
for 1000W. Turn the selector knob to high
power setting ( ) for 2000W. When
operating on low and medium electric power
settings the blown air fan runs at a reduced
speed to minimise noise and current draw.
Note: The electric elements will still operate if
the appliance is in gas ignition lock-out.
The appliance cannot be operated with both
gas and electric.
Switching appliance off. Turn the selector
knob to the Off position ( ). Note that the
fan will continue to run for 3 minutes to allow
the heater to cool down.
Adjusting the temperature. Turn the
temperature control knob clockwise to
increase and anti-clockwise to reduce the
room temperature. The heater will
automatically turn itself on and off to maintain
the desired ambient temperature.
Note that the controls incorporate a low frost
protection setting. This can be activated by
turning the temperature control knob fully
anti-clockwise.
Maintenance
If the heater has not been used for some
time, dust may have settled inside the heater
and the ducting. Run the heater on the "Fan
only" setting until it clears. The outside of the
appliance should not normally require
cleaning. If it does, isolate the electrical
supplies and wipe down with a soft, damp
cloth only. Allow to fully dry before
reconnecting the electrical supplies.
The Whale‚ Space Heater should be checked
periodically by a Whale‚ Approved Service
Centre / Technician, or competent person, at
least annually. This should be completed
according to the practice in the country where
it is used and according to the Whale‚
instructions. We recommend annual testing
of gas soundness and combustion by an
accredited LPG gas engineer. The appliance
contains ESD sensitive components and
therefore should only be opened by a Whale‚
Approved Service Centre / Technician
(contact Whale‚ Support).
