FRANKIA OPERATING MANUAL100 FRANKIA OPERATING MANUAL 101
9.2 Gas system
Gas appliances do not work:
• Check hose breakage protection and crash sensor
• Open the shut-off valve on the gas bottle
• Open the shut-off valve at the consumer points
• Check the level of the gas bottle
• Use only propane gas during frost
• Does the pressure reducer work properly in winter operation? (Risk of frost)
• Use Ice-Ex-Heating (= Option) from + 5° C
• If a single device does not function, carefully follow the operating procedure in the corresponding chapter
9.3 Fresh water system
Water comes out of the motorhome during filling:
• A small amount of water can escape under the motorhome via the pressure relief valve due to water expan-
sion when the boiler is heated.
• Close the frost protection valve. The room temperature must be at least + 6° C, otherwise the valve
cannot be closed.
• Insert the drain plug in the fresh water tank
• Check the hose clamps for the lines for firm seating
• Check the fresh and waste water tanks for overfilling
Water withdrawal from the tap - too little or no water at all:
• Check or switch on the 12 volt supply
• Turn on the water pump
• Check fresh water display
• After refilling the completely empty tank, vent the pump by briefly opening the drain valves
• If the water was drained from the boiler, it takes several minutes for the boiler to fill and warm water to flow.
• If the pump does not start when the tap is open, look for the electrical or pump fault.
• Do not allow the pump to run dry over a longer period of time.
Leaks in the motorhome: Immediately switch off the fresh water pressure pump on the central panel, only then
search for a leak
Water has an aftertaste:
• Sterilise the fresh water tank and piping system, only effective after 6 hours
• Water is germ-free only after boiling for 10 minutes
• Drain unused water after 3 days, rinse the tank and refill
Hot water malfunction:
• The heating system must be in operation
• Activate the 12 volt supply and fresh water pressure pump on the central panel
• Take the heating-up time of the water heater into account, approx. 30 min.
• Fill or vent the hot water boiler by opening the hot water tap
9.4 Waste water
Water does not drain:
• Check the fill level of the waste water tank on the central panel
• Check for a possible blockage in the drain line
• Clean the siphons from the kitchen sink, washbasin and shower
• Is the motorhome level? Since the waste water tank is located in the intermediate floor, the waste
water pipes have very little slope.
Odour in the vehicle:
• Check the siphons of the kitchen sink and washbasin for full water level. We recommend closing the
sink and shower tray with the drain plug while driving in order to avoid unpleasant smells.
9.5 WC tank
WC tank too full:
• Carry out emergency emptying:
◦ Interior - Open the slider from the toilet bowl bottom
◦ Exterior - Open the toilet storage flap
Hold the drainage nozzle and open it carefully and let it run into a container. After the contents of the
toilet bowl have been emptied, close the toilet slider, close the drain nozzle and remove the toilet tank
as specified.
Odour nuisance:
• WC tank too full. Drain immediately at a service station. The fill level indicator shows you when to
empty (red area).
• If the outside temperature is warm, use a slightly higher dose of the sanitary concentrate
• Close the toilet slider immediately after use
