Water 08-3
If the vehicle is not being used and there is a danger of
sub-zero temperatures be sure to drain the entire water
system. Leave taps turn on in the middle position. Leave
all drain valves open.
Waste water tank
The waste water tank is fitted with a heating element (approx.
40 W) which prevents waste water from freezing during a light
frost. Following activation of the waste water heating unit
from the control panel it begins operation once the tempera
-
ture of the waste water falls below approx. 8°C.
Draining the water system
• Ensure that the motor home is in a horizontal position.
• Turn off the 12 V power supply at the control panel.
Do a small quantity of antifreeze agent (e.g. table salt) to
the waste water tank if temperatures are significantly below
freezing to prevent the waste water from freezing.
The waste water tank is not sufficiently protected against
damage from frost when the vehicle is not in use.
Therefore, if there is any danger of sub-zero temperatures
empty the waste water tank completely.
Never pour boiling water down the sink. This can cause
distortions and leaks in the waste water system.
The waste water heating cartridge can only be switched
on when the motor home is connected to the 230V mains
supply.
• Turn on all drain cocks.
• If possible open the filler cap of the fresh water tank.
• Turn the water taps to the middle position and let them
run.
• Attach hand showers to the shower fitting.
• Check that water is draining out.
• Clean the tanks and rinse them thoroughly.
• Allow the water system to dry for as long as possible.
• Do not forget to empty the toilet cassette.
