Fitted Equipment
Bleeding
If a bleeder screw is fitted to the outgoing
pipe on the rear of the boiler, open this
bleeder screw and leave it open until it starts
to discharge water. If the boiler is fitted with
an automatic bleeder, there is no need to
bleed it manually.
Start the LPG boiler. The circulation pump
should be switched off. Open the remaining
bleeder screws in the system (please refer to
the instruction manual of the vehicle for their
locations). Leave the bleeder screws open
until they start discharging fluid. Start the
circulation pump and let it run for a while.
Check that the pipes and radiators around
the vehicle are heating up. If they still fail to
heat up, try the following
Single-axle caravans: Stop the circulation
pump. Using the jockey wheel, lower the
front of the caravan as far as possible so
that the rear is tilted upwards. Leave it in this
position for a few minutes to allow the air to
travel upwards in the system. Open the
bleeder screw at the highest point. Leave it
open until it discharges glycol fluid.
Using the jockey wheel, raise the front of the
caravan as far as possible and repeat the
procedure in this position. Then position the
caravan horizontally and start the circulation
pump. Check that the pipes and radiators
around the vehicle are heating up.
Twin-axle caravan: The easiest way to bleed
the heating system is to place the vehicle on
a sloping surface or to raise one end of the
vehicle using a jack. Bleed the system as
described above.

REFRIGERATOR
When using your refrigerator for the first time,
it is advisable to wash the interior and its
accessories.
When the caravan is on tow, the refrigerator
should be operated electrically, i.e. from the
12V battery in the towing vehicle, and not by
means of bottled gas.
CONTROLS
The refrigerator can be run on either 230V,
12V or LP gas. Changing between these
modes of operation is carried out by means
of the controls shown on the relevant control
panel.
Caution!
Only use one source of energy at a time.
