The Whale Space and Water Heater
All Advance motorhomes feature a blown air
system. The air is heated via the Whale space
heater. This can be found on the underside of
the motorhome floor within the chassis.
Water is heated via a seperate Whale water
heater which can be found within one of your
bunks (Dependant upon model).
Both the Space heater and the water heater are
controlled via the Seattle control panel.
For full operating instructions please refer to
The Seattle Control Panel.
Whale Space Heater
Instructions For Safe Use
WARNING: A minimum of one of the
hot air outlet vents MUST be
permanently open on each branch.
When using gas, the combustion air flue and
outlet openings for the products of combustion
(exhaust flue) MUST NEVER BE OBSTRUCTED.
They MUST be checked regularly, and if
necessary cleaned by the user (e.g. in winter,
snow shall be removed from the combustion
outlet and air intake).
Where the open end of the exhaust flue
terminates, three sides of the under-floor space
must be kept open and not obstructed, and not
contain through-floor ventilation openings. The
Space Heater, its gas supply and flues for the
products of combustion are to be inspected
in accordance with national regulations or
if these do not exist, the manufacturer’s
recommendations. It is advised that this must
be carried out at least annually.
The Whale Space Heater must be checked
periodically by a Whale Approved Service
Centre / Technician, or competent person,
at least annually. This must be completed
according to the practice in the country where it
is used and according to the Whale instructions.
Whale recommends annual testing of gas
soundness and combustion by an accredited
LPG gas engineer. The appliance contains ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive components
and therefore must only be opened by a Whale
Approved Service Centre / Technician (contact
Whale Support).
When using operating switches provided by the
installer or vehicle manufacturer, the installer
or vehicle manufacturer are responsible for
providing user instructions and identification of
symbols on the Control Panel.
WARNING: The inlet vents of the
Space Heater must never be blocked
and at least one hot air outlet vent
must be permanently open on each
branch.
For the operation of the Space Heater, a 12V
D.C. supply must be connected at all times. To
operate the Space Heater ’s electric elements, it
must also be connected to a suitable 230V A.C.
supply.
Maintenance
If the Space Heater has not been used for
some time, dust may have settled inside the
heater and the ducting. Run the Space Heater
on the “Fan only” setting until it clears. The
outside of the appliance should not normally
require cleaning. If it does, isolate the electrical
supplies and wipe down with a soft, damp cloth
only. Allow to fully dry before re-connecting the
electrical supplies. Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents.
The Whale Space Heater must be checked
periodically by a Whale Approved Service
Centre / Technician, or competent person,
