HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S EQUIPMENT
WHALE SPACE HEATER SH2012
Operating Instructions
For operation of the heater, a 12 V d.c. supply
must be connected at all times. To operate the
heater’s electric elements, it must also be
connected to a suitable 230V a.c. supply.
Fan only operation. Turn the selector knob to the
fan on position.
Gas operation. Turn the select or knob to the gas
on (flame) position. There will be a pre-purge
pause of approx. 30 sec’s to allow any un-burnt
gas to leave the flue. A green LED will light upon
successful flame ignition. If there is air in the gas
supply line it may take a few attempts for the gas
to ignite. See section on gas lockout re-setting. If
the ignition is not satisfactory the red LED will
flash, refer to the trouble shooting guide..
Electric operation . The space heater is equipped
with 3 power settings 500W / 1000W / 2000W.
Turn the selector knob to low power setting ( )
for 500W.
Turn the selector knob to medium power setting
(
) for 1000W
Turn the selector knob to high power setting
(
) for 2000W.
When operating on low and medium electric
power settings the blown air fan runs at a
reduced speed to minimise noise and current
draw.
Note: The electric elements will still operate if
the appliance is in gas ignition lock-out.
The appliance cannot be operated with both gas
and electric.
Switching appliance off . Turn the selector knob to
the Off position ( ). Note that the fan will
continue to run for 3 minutes to allow the heater
to cool down.
Adjusting the temperature. Turn the temperature
control knob clockwise to increase and anti-
clockwise to reduce the room temperature. The
heater will automatically turn itself on and off to
maintain the desired ambient temperature.
Note that the controls incorporate a low frost
protection setting. This can be activated by
turning the temperature control knob fully anti-
clockwise.
Maintenance
If the heater has not been used for some time,
dust may have settled inside the heater and the
ducting. Run the 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
reconnecting the electrical supplies.
The Whale‚ Space Heater should be checked
periodically by a Whale‚ Approved Service Centre
/ Technician, or competent person, at least
annually. This should be completed according to
the practice in the country where it is used and
according to the Whale‚ instructions. We
recommend annual testing of gas soundness and
combustion by an accredited LPG gas engineer.
The appliance contains ESD sensitive components
and therefore should only be opened by a Whale‚
Approved Service Centre / Technician (contact
Whale‚ Support).
