Safe handling of malfunctions
• Switch OFF the gas supply and the appliance:
- if anything seems to be out of the ordinary.
- if you smell gas.
• Fire / explosion if you attempt to use an appliance that has been damaged by flooding or
if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. A damaged appliance must be repaired by an expert or be
replaced.
• Only carry out repairs yourself if the solution is described in the troubleshooting guide of this manual.
• A damaged appliance may have to be replaced with a new one.
Safe maintenance and repair
• Repairs may only be carried out by an expert.
• Children must not carry out maintenance, repair, or cleaning work.
• Before accessing terminals, please secure all supply circuits (i.e. 12 V) and ensure that the gas supply is
securely turned off.
• Any work involving connection or interconnecting wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
• Only use AquaGo decalcification tablets to decalcify the appliance to avoid damage and the voiding of
your warranty. Never use vinegar. Call your local AquaGo dealer or service provider or see
www.truma.net for more information.
- The use of non-Truma-approved substances for decalcification can cause chemical reactions and produce
hazardous substances that could enter the drinking water.
• Any alteration to the appliance or its controls can cause unforeseen serious hazards and will void the
warranty.
• After a long period of winterization: Flush all hot/cold water hoses and the appliance thoroughly with
drinking water before using it.
• Keep the appliance free of foreign objects, e.g., leaves, animals, spiderwebs, and keep the area around
free of snow and ice. The appliance will not function properly if the intake air or exhaust terminal is
obstructed.
