Place of installation:
-
in the closet or the corner of the flue
Before first use:
•
Several air outlet nozzles have been built into
the camper. Pipes lead the hot air to the air
outlet nozzles. Turn the nozzles so that the
hot air is expelled where you want it.
• Check whether the flue is unobstructed. Any
covers must always be removed.
•
Before the first ignition, ensure that the bat -
teries in the automatic ignitor are working
properly.
Operation:
•
Open the bottle valve and the quick-close
valve in the gas line.
•
Turn the operation handle (1) to the thermo-
stat position -0.
•
Press the operation handle (1) down until it
locks. The ignition is automatic from this posi -
tion, until the flame burns. The ignition spark
is audible. The control light on the automatic
ignitor (2) blinks during ignition.
•
Hold the operation handle in for up to 10 se -
conds, so that the ignition fuse kicks in.
•
If the gas line is filled with air, it can take up to
a minute until the gas is ready to burn. Hold
the operation lever (1) in during this period,
until the flame burns.
Never re-ignite before two minutes
have passed. Otherwise, there is
a danger of deflagration! This also
applies when the flame on an already
operational heating element extingu
-
ishes and is re-ignited.
Heating while driving is forbidden.
