12. Maintenance and Care
188
The following applies for the sink and the cooker
• Clean metal surfaces with normal household cleaners or
special stainless-steel cleansing agents.
The following applies for built-in equipment
•
Truma Combi heating system:
The boiler must be descaled regularly (at least twice a year).
We recommend using suitable commercial agents for clea-
ning, disinfecting and taking care of the boiler. Products that
contain chlorine are unsuitable.
• The chemical method used to control microorganisms in the
device can also be supplemented by regularly heating the
water in the boiler to 70° C.
• The safety / outlet valve (FrostControl) must be operated
regularly (at least twice a year) to remove lime deposits and
to ensure that it is not blocked.
• Check the drain-off of the condensation in the refrigerator
regularly. If necessity, clean the condensation drain-off. If
this is clogged, the condensation will collect on the floor of
the refrigerator. The condensation drain-off is located at the
back in the middle of the drip tray (SlimLine)..
• Refrigerator seals should be rubbed once a year with talcum
power to keep them supple and the expandable fold should
be checked for tears.
Remove all spray cans with cleaners and polishes from
the vehicle after finishing the upkeep! Otherwise, there is a
danger of explosion at temperatures over 50° C!
12.6 Winter Lay Up for the Van
For many people, the camping season ends when the tempe-
rature starts to fall. Your van must be properly prepared for its
winter lay up.
The following general rules apply
• Only leave your van in a closed space if it is dry and well-
aired. Otherwise, it is better to leave your van in the open.
• To protect the tyres, jack up the van or move it slightly to a
new position every two months.
• Close all gas bottles and emergency shutoff valves.
• Disconnect (or, ideally, remove) the battery and store it
safe from frost. Check it about once a month to see if it is
still charged; if not, charge it.
• Check the antifreeze in the cooling system and, if necessa
-
ry, top it up.
• Leave space between tarpaulins and the camper so as not
to hamper ventilation.
• The space behind the refrigerator should be hoovered and
cleaned regularly. The ventilation grille should also be kept
clean (absorber refrigerator*).
