How to change the
batteries on the
automatic igniter
Gas: Appliances
Operating Instructions Cont.
• Keep the control knob pressed down for a further 10 seconds to allow the
safety pilot to operate.
Attention: In the event of a fault always wait 2 minutes before
attempting to re-ignite!
• If the flame goes out again re-ignition occurs immediately during the
closing time of the safety pilot (approx. 30 seconds). If there is no flame
the automatic igniter continues to operate until the control knob is
switched to 0.
• If there is air in the gas supply line, it can take up to 2 minutes until there
is gas available for combustion. During this time hold the control knob
down until the flame lights.
• To ensure even and rapid warm air distribution and lower surface
temperatures on the heating unit, we recommend operating the heater
with a Trumavent warm air system.
Room Thermostat
To maintain an average room temperature of about 22°C we recommend a
thermostat setting of 3-5 with the fan off, or 4-8 with the fan on. The exact
thermostat setting must be determined in each case, depending on how
much heat is needed and the design of your vehicle.
Note:
The thermostat probe is underneath the heater. Please note that the
thermostat will be adversely affected by cold draughts from the refrigerator
vents, gaps below doors etc., or by a deep pile carpet. Always be sure to
avoid problems of this kind, otherwise satisfactory temperature control
cannot be guaranteed.
Switching Off
Turn the control switch to 0 (the automatic ignition will switch off at the
same time). If the unit is not used for a relatively long period of time, close
off at the quick action gate valve on the gas pipe and the gas bottle.
Changing the batteries on the automatic igniter
If no ignition sparking can be heard, or only at intervals of more than one
second, the battery needs to be replaced. Replace the battery only if the
heater is switched off. It is recommended that a new battery be inserted at
the start of the heating season. Remove the heater cover, push the battery
compartment cover up and change the battery. Ensure that the polarity is
correct. Close the battery compartment.
Cautions
• At least one side of the under floor space of the motorhome must remain
open at all times so there is continual free entry of air to the under floor
intake. Any build up of snow etc must be cleared from around the vehicle.
• The heater must not be used if the flue has been damaged. The products
of combustion pass through the flue in the wardrobe to the flue cowl.
Any damage to the flue may result in danger to the occupants.
• Avoid hanging wet clothes etc against the flue inside
the wardrobe.
• Curtains must not hang within 150mm of the sides of the
heater or within 300mm above the top of the outlet grille.
• Always wait two minutes before attempting to re-light the
heater after switching off or after a fail-safe shut down.
