3.3 Guaranteeing a safe operating
environment
The appliance may be operated only with appropri-
ate Truma control panels and accessories and con-
trol panels approved by Truma�
Make sure that the warm air ducts throughout
the vehicle, especially in storage areas, are not
squashed or damaged by cargo�
Objects that are sensitive to heat (e�g� spray cans
or matches) and flammable materials / liquids may
not be stored in the same compartment as the ap-
pliance, since, under certain circumstances, higher
temperatures may occur�
Do not store objects that are sensitive to heat or
flammable materials / liquids in direct contact with
the warm air ducts�
Do not place open containers containing flammable
liquids / vapours or cloths soaked in flammable liq-
uids / vapours near the air intake� Do not spray flam-
mable sprays into the air intake�
Do not place objects such as plastic bags or ski
boots directly in front of the warm air outlets�
Do not dry laundry directly in front of the warm air
outlets�
Keep the area in front of the circulated air intake
and the warm air outlets free from flammable and
heat-sensitive materials� Never block the warm air
outlets�
To ensure clean combustion, always keep the wall
cowl clean (remove slush, ice, leaves etc�)�
When the appliance is running, the wall cowl must
not be blocked, for example, with a cover or insect
grille�
Danger from hot surfaces and exhaust gases� When
the appliance is running, do not touch the area
around the wall cowl and do not lean any objects
against the wall cowl or the vehicle�
Do not operate the appliance where flammable va-
pours or dust can form, e�g� in the vicinity of a petrol
station, a fuel, coal, wood or grain storage facility or
similar�
3.3.1 Handling exhaust gases
The exhaust gases of the heater can cause poisoning in
enclosed spaces (e�g� a garage, workshop, ferry)� If the
vehicle is parked in closed rooms:
Switch the heater off on the control panel�
Disable the time switch / timer function�
Do not switch the heater on remotely via the app�
3.4 Duties of the user / vehicle owner
The user is responsible for the water and its quality
in the water container�
The vehicle owner is responsible for correct opera-
tion of the appliance�
A yellow warning sticker should be placed in the
vehicle where it is visible to all users (e�g� on a ward-
robe door)� If this is not the case, missing stickers
can be requested from Truma�
The heater must comply with the regulations of the
country in which it is used� National rules and regu-
lations must be obeyed�
The exhaust system must be inspected regularly, but
at least every 2 years�
If the heater is not being used, always drain off the
water if there is a risk of frost� No warranty or guar-
antee claims and no liability will be accepted for
frost damage�
3.5 Safe operation
During heater operation, do not allow the fuel dis-
play in the fuel tank to drop to the “low fuel” mark�
If the vehicle fuel tank runs empty, the opening of
the fuel removal duct is roughly at the same height
as the surface of the fuel� In this state, particularly
when the fuel in the vehicle fuel tank is slopping
around due to vehicle movement, a large amount of
air is sucked in� This leads to an irregular supply of
fuel to the heater� In this condition the appliance’s
burner cannot maintain clean combustion (occur-
rence of smoke and smells)�
Do not close or cover forced ventilation in the vehi-
cle� When the appliance is started up, there may be
some smoke and/or smell due to dust or dirt� Espe-
cially if it has not been used for a long time�
The appliance may be used by children over 14 years
old, and by people with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowl-
edge if they are supervised or have been instructed
in the safe use of the appliance and the resulting
hazards� Children must not be allowed to play with
the appliance�
