Outlet valves for therme
If the vehicle is not being used and there is a danger of
sub-zero temperatures be sure to drain the entire water
system. Leave taps turn on in the middle position.
Leave all drain valves open.
Only empty your waste water tank at the specially
designated disposal points and never in open spaces!
As a rule disposal points can be found at motorway
service stations; campsites and petrol stations.
Position of the Frost Control valve
(only for models with a Combi heating system)
The Frost Control valve is always located directly on the hot-air heater
in the seating arrangement.
Frost Control valve
The non-electric safety or drain valve will automatical-
ly open at temperatures under approx. 3°C and drain
the boiler contents via a drain nozzle.
If the cold water system is operated without the boiler
the boiler tank will still ll with water. In order to avoid
frost damage the boiler must be drained via the drain
valve, even when not in use.
