CAUTION
Potential damage to the fresh water pump or other equipment
● Never cover the fresh water pump during operation.
-> Fire hazard!
● Operate the fresh water pump only if there is sufficient fresh water in the
fresh water tank.
-> Risk of damage to the fresh water pump due to dry running
5.6 Draining the fresh water tank
The fresh water tank can be drained with a manual
drain valve. It is located next to the fresh water
pump. It can be a blue release toggle (variant A) or
a brown lever (variant B).
Before draining the fresh water tank, the fresh water
pump has to be switched off on the control panel.
In addition, the taps at all outlet points (kitchen sink,
wash basin, shower) have to be open or set to the
centre position.
To remove all residual water from the system, switch
on the fresh water pump on the control panel and
switch it off again after one minute.

5.7 Reducing the content of the fresh water tank to 15 litres
To save weight during a journey, we recommend draining the content of the fresh water tank to a
residual volume of 15 % (= 15 litres). Do to this, monitor the fill level of the fresh water tank on the
control panel while draining the water, until the residual volume of 15 % has been reached. (See item 5.6
“Draining the fresh water tank”.)
