Safe operation
• Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or any mixtures containing more than 10% butane must not be
used.
- LP tanks must be filled by a qualified gas supplier only.
• The nominal gas system pressure must be 10.5 in. wc.
• Hot water can be dangerous, especially for infants, children, the elderly, or infirm. It can cause severe
burns. Therefore:
- Never actuate the pressure relief valve (Fig. 1 – 4) as long as the appliance is still hot.
- Never actuate the Easy Drain Lever (Fig. 1 – 11) as long as the appliance is under water pressure and/or
still hot.
- Always check the water temperature before entering a shower or bath.
• How long before hot water causes skin damage?
Time before skin becomes
scalded

burns A. J. Pathol 1947; 23: 695 – 720
• The water pressure on the inlet side must be limited to 65 psi (4.5 bar), otherwise internal components of
the appliance will be damaged. On (city) water connections with a pressure higher than 65 psi (4.5 bar) a
pressure regulator is strongly recommended.
While driving
• To avoid damage, make sure the access door (Fig. 1 – 20) to the appliance is closed before moving the RV,
as follows:
- Turn lock is engaged.
- Access door is flush with the cover plate.
• Shut OFF gas and the LP tank when moving the RV. This disables all gas appliances and pilot lights. Gas
appliances must never be operated while the vehicle is in motion.
• Shut OFF the appliance when refuelling or pumping gas, in multi-storey car parks, in garages or on ferries.
• To avoid damage, make sure no spray water enters the appliance when cleaning the RV, e.g., do not spray
directly into the openings/ ventilation grille.
