HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Winterising
The iVan ® Control Panel will not be affected
by the cold, however, there is a number of
steps that must be taken to fully winterise the
Whale
®
Space and Water Heaters to avoid
frost damage occurring.
Space Heater
When using the Space Heater in winter,
ensure that the flues are NOT BLOCKED by
snow or fallen leaves etc.
When the Space Heater is not going to be
used for a long period of time; it is
recommended that the open end of the
combustion air and exhaust flue are covered
to prevent ingress of leaves etc.
Frost Protection
If the caravan is stored with access to a
mains connection, the frost protection setting
on the Space Heater can be selected. This
maintains a very low temperature throughout
the van, reducing the chance of frost damage
occurring.
To activate: From the home screen touch the
van icon when the frost icon. This will turn
red to show frost protection has been
activated.
To deactivate: From the home screen touch
the van icon, then the frost icon. The icon will
turn blue to show that frost protection settings
are off.
Water Heater
When using the Water Heater in winter,
ensure that the flues are NOT BLOCKED by
snow or fallen leaves etc.
When the Water Heater is not going to be
used for a long period of time, ensure the
heater is fully drained to prevent frost
damage. To drain the water heater; switch off
the water pump, open all hot water taps and
operate the drain valve fitted in the system.
The drain valve should be left in the open
position to ensure that all the water drains
out.
