General safety notes
The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is taken in
the gas phase is mandatory for the operation of gas regula-
tors, gas equipment and gas systems. Gas cylinders from which
gas is taken in the liquid phase (e. g. for fork lifts) must not be
used, since they would result in damage to the gas system.
In event of leaks in the gas system or if there is a smell of gas:
– extinguish all naked flames
– do not smoke
– switch off all appliances
– shut off the gas cylinder
– open the windows and doors
– do not actuate any electrical switches
– have the entire system checked by an expert!
Repairs may only be carried out by an expert.
– This device is not designed to be used by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities
or persons lacking in experience or know-how, unless they
are supervised by somebody responsible for their safety or
unless they have received instruction about how to use the
device.
– Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the device.
– To avoid the risk of accidental resetting of the over-temper-
ature guard, the device may not be supplied with power via
an external contactor, such as e.g. a timer, nor may it be
connected to a power circuit that is regularly switched on or
off via a device.
Danger
Failure to operate the relief valve easing gear at least once
every six months may result in the water heater splitting.
Continuous leakage of water from the valve may indicate a
problem with the water heater!
– Water may drip from the discharge pipe of the pres sure
relief device and this pipe must be left open to the
atmosphere.
– The pres sure relief device is to be operated regularly to
remove lime deposits and to verify that it is not blocked.
– Any discharge pipe connected to the safety (pres sure relief)
valve is to be installed in a continuously downward direction
and in a frost free ambient.
– Before gaining access to any and all terminals, please en-
sure all supply circuits are disconnected (i.e. 230 – 240 V
and 12 V) and gas supply is securely turned off.
– Any work involving connection or interconnecting wiring
must be conducted by a licensed electrician.
– Any modifications to the unit, including accessories and
cowl, or the use of spare parts and accessories that are im-
portant to the operation of the system that are not original
Truma parts and failure to follow the installation and oper-
ating instructions will cancel the warranty and indemnify
Truma from any liability claims. It also becomes illegal to
use the appliance, and in some countries this even makes it
illegal to use the vehicle.
– The operating pressure for the gas supply is 2.75 kPa
(AUS – Propane, NZ – LPG) and must correspond to the op-
erating pressure of the appliance (see data plate).
– LPG Systems and pressure regulators must comply with
the technical and administrative regulations of the country
in which the appliance is used. For your own safety it is
absolutely necessary to have the complete gas installation
regularly checked by an expert (at least every 2 years).
The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging the
gas inspection.
– Do not operate when travelling.
– Do not operate the water heater when refuelling the vehicle
and when in the garage.
– Items sensitive to heat (e. g. spray cans) must not be stored
in the installation area, since excess temperatures may un-
der circumstances be incurred there.
– During the initial operation of a brand new appliance (or
after it has not been used for some time), a slight amount of
fumes and a slight smell may be noticed for a short while.
