poisonous gas ‘carbon monoxide’. Carbon
Monoxide is odourless, colourless and
tasteless and will rapidly cause
unconsciousness and death with little or no
warning prior to collapse. THERE IS NO
DANGER WHEN ADEQUATE VENTILATION
IS PROVIDED.
Roof-mounted Flue installations
All flue installations should be inspected
once a year throughout their length for
corrosion. Flues should be replaced if any
sign of perforation is found. Ensure that the
replacement is of an approved type.
CONNECTION
Ensure that the gas regulator hose is
correctly connected to the gas cylinder in
gas bottle compartment and that the hose
connection is tight.
Gas bottles must be fully located, seated at
the base of the bottles and restrained by the
strap provided in the dedicated
compartment position.
Straps are positioned to suit 6kg and 7 kg
bottles.
WARNING: If using cylinders other than
those recommended, the user must
ensure these are adequately supported,
ventilation openings must not be
obstructed and the cylinders must not
cause damage to other fixtures and
fittings located in the compartment.
Open ended gas hoses must always be
protected from dirt and insects
Before turning on the gas supply at the
regulator, ensure that all gas operated
equipment in the caravan is turned off.
All gas equipment (except barbecue) is
supplied through a central Gas Manifold
System which has individual isolation taps
for each appliance (Fig A), as follows:
RED - Water Heater
WHITE - Space Heater
BLUE - Fridge
GREEN - Oven
YELLOW - Barbecue (if fitted)
Note: the external barbecue point is fed
from the main feed through an isolation tap.
See schematic layout for details.
THERMAL INSULATION HEATING
Your caravan has been designed to achieve
a thermal insulation and heating level for
specific climatic conditions when tested
according to the procedure in EN1645-1.
The classifications are as follows:
GRADE 1
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m
2
k).
GRADE 2
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m
2
k) and which can achieve an
average temperature difference of at least
20k between inside and outside temper-
atures when the outside temperature is 0°C.
GRADE 3
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.2w/(m
2
k) and which can achieve
an average temperature difference of at
least 35k between inside and outside
temperatures when the outside temperature
is -15°C.
