5.1 Forced and fixed ventilation
The following applies for ventilation
Proper ventilation and dehumidifying of the caravan is a prerequisite
for ideal living comfort. Vents for draft-free forced ventilation have been
integrated in the floor
j
of your caravan; for forced dehumidifying
, they have been integrated in the roof lights. You must not interfere
with their mode of operation
.
Refrigerator
The fridge vents provide the refrigerator with fresh air from outside to
ensure sufficient cooling performance. The fridge vent
j
is located
at the bottom of the exterior vehicle wall. The top vent
k
is located
above the lower vent..
Ventilation and dehumidifying of the caravan is a prerequisite for
sufficient cooling capacity. When the refrigerator is not being run,
the ventilation grills can be covered using the correct winter covers.
We recommend that you open the roof bonnets when-
ever you stay in the caravan
.
Cooking, wet clothing, etc., produces vapor. Every person
loses up to 35 g of water per hour. Therefore, depending
on the relative humidity, please ventilate and dehumidify
through the windows and roof lights (see also
"Winter
operation"
).
Under no circumstances may the safety ventilation be
blocked, not even slightly.
Keep the grilles and coverings clean and dust-free.
When using an awning, ensure that there is good venti-
lation if the grilles for ventilation and dehumidifying are
located inside the awning.
To prevent restricting the performance of the refrigerator,
Do not block or cover the external vents when it is in use.
Use the special cover panels for the air vents on the side
of the vehicle when operating the caravan in winter. These
winter panels are a chargeable option; they can be obtained
from your dealer.
Please also note the information on the covers. For further
information, please check the operating instructions of the
refrigerator manufacturer.
If the temperature outside is very high, we recommend that
you park the camper in the shade to maintain the cooling
capacity.
