smell may be noticed for a short while. It is
a good idea to heat the device up several
times in summer operation (60ºC) and to
make sure that the area is well ventilated.
Heat sensitive objects such as spray cans or
flammable liquids may not be stored in the
same compartment where the heater is
installed because, under certain conditions,
this area may be subject to elevated
temperatures.
Only pressure regulating equipment that
complies with EN12864 (in vehicles) with
fixed output pressure of 30 mbar may be
used for the gas system. 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
systems Truma SecuMotion/MonoControl
CS for vehicles and the gas pressure control
systems Truma DuoComfort/DuoControl CS
for dual-cylinder gas systems.
At temperatures of around 0ºC 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.
Pressure regulating equipment and hoses
must be replaced with new ones no more
than 10 years after the date of manufacture
(every 8 years if used commercially). This is
the responsibility of the operator.
Important operating notes
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 gas system checked by an
expert
Always keep the cowl for the exhaust duct
and combustion air intake free of
contamination (slush, ice, leaves etc.).
The hot air outlets and the recirculated air
intake opening must be free so that the unit
does not overheat. The integrated
temperature limiter blocks the gas supply
when the unit becomes too hot.
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
Truma to send you stickers, if necessary.
Directive 2004/78/EC stipulates that a safety
shut-off device is required if caravans are
being heated while driving.
The Truma gas pressure control systems
SecuMotion/MonoControl CS satisfy these
requirements.
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!
Materials in the device which come into
contact with water are suitable for use with
drinking water (see manufacturer declaration
