If the gas system is leaking or if there is a smell of gas:
– extinguish all open flames
– open windows and door
– close all quick-acting valves and gas cylinders
– do not smoke
– do not activate any electric switches – ask an expert to inspect the
entire system!
Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!
During use, please observe the regulations of AS/NZS
60335.1:2010, according to which this device has not been
designed for use by people (including children) who have restricted
physical, sensory or mental abilities or a lack of experience and / or
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for
their safety or have received instructions from that person as to
how the device is to be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the
device.
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability will be
ruled out in the event of the following:
– modifications to the unit (including accessories),
– modifications to the exhaust duct and the cowl,
– failure to use original Truma parts as replacement parts and
accessories,
– failure to follow the installation and operating instructions.
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 and must
correspond to the operating pressure of the appliance (see type
plate).
LPG systems and pressure regulators must comply with the technical
and administrative regulations of the country in which the appliance
is used (AS/NZS 5601). 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.
Liquid gas equipment may not be used when refueling, in multi-
storey car parks, in garages, or on ferries.
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 smell
may be noticed for a short while. It is a good idea to heat the device
up several times in hot water mode operation (60 °C) and to make
sure that the area is well ventilated.
– Do not place articles on or against this appliance.
– Do not use or store flammable materials near this appliance.
– Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in
operation.
– Do not modifiy this appliance.
The flow rate of the pressure control device must correspond to at
least the maximum consumption of all devices installed by the
system manufacturer.
We recommend the gas pressure control system Truma MonoControl
CS for vehicles and the Truma gas pressure control systems
DuoControl CS for dual-cylinder gas systems.
At temperatures of around 0 °C or less the gas pressure regulator and
the changeover valve should be operated using the EisEx regulator
heater.
Controller connecting hoses that meet national regulations must
always be used in the respective country for which the equipment
is destined. These hoses must be checked regularly for brittleness.
Winter-proof special hoses must always be used if the equipment is
operated during the winter.
Important operating notes
If the cowl has been placed near or directly beneath an opening
window, the device must be equipped with an automatic shut-off
device in order to prevent operation with the window open.
The integrity and tight fit of the exhaust gas double duct must be
checked regularly, particularly at the end of long trips. Also check the
mounting of the appliance and the cowl.
Following a blow-back (misfire) always have the exhaust duct
checked by an expert.
Keep the cowl for the exhaust duct and combustion air intake free of
contamination (slush, ice, leaves etc.) at all times.
The warm air outlets and the circulated air intake openings must be
clear so that the unit does not overheat.
Do not use any after market air filters or air grills.
The use of such components may cause the unit to overheat.
The integrated temperature limiter blocks the gas supply when the
unit becomes too hot.
Warning: Air from the discharge vent may be hot. Do not place
combustible materials directly in front of the discharge vent. Keep
curtains, bedding and other flammable materials away from the vent.
If no safety shut-off device (e.g. for the gas pressure control
system Truma MonoControl CS / DuoControl CS)
has been installed, the gas cylinder needs to be closed when driving
and appropriate signs must be displayed in the gas cylinder
protection box and close to the control panel.
The safety shut-off device is also recommended for safety reasons if
caravans are being heated while driving.
Operating instructions
Always observe the operating instructions and “Important
operating notes” prior to starting! The vehicle owner is responsible
for the correct operation of the appliance.
The installer or vehicle owner must apply the yellow sticker with
the warning information, which is enclosed with the appliance, to a
place in the vehicle where it is clearly visible to all users (e.g. on
the wardrobe door)! Ask Dometic Service to send you stickers, if
necessary.
Before using for the first time, it is essential to flush the
entire water supply system through with clean water. If
the heater is not being used, always drain the water contents if
there is a risk of frost. There shall be no claims under guarantee
for damage caused by frost!
Digital Control Panel
The digital control panel is descibed in a separate operating
instruction.
