HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Whale Heating System - Maintenance
The outside surfaces of the Space or Water
Heater do not normally require cleaning.
If the surface needs cleaned, you must
isolate the electric supplies and wipe down
with a soft, damp cloth only. You must not
use abrasive cleaning agents. Allow to fully
dry before reconnecting electrical supplies.
Whale Heating System - Servicing
Whale recommends that the Space and
Water Heater must be inspected, at least
annually. This must be in accordance with the
practice in the country where it is used and in
accordance with the Whale instructions
(provided separately). Both the Space Heater
and Water Heater contain ESD sensitive
components and therefore must only be
opened by a Whale Approved Service Centre
or Engineer.
Annual testing of the gas soundness and
combustion must be carried out by an
accredited LPG Engineer.
Whale Heating System - Winterising
When using the Space or the Water Heater in
winter, you must ensure that the flues are not
blocked by fallen leaves or snow etc. When
the Space Heater is not in use for long
periods of time, e.g. in winter storage, you
must cover the open end of the combustion
air and exhaust flues to prevent ingress of
leaves etc.

The Space and Water Heater’s gas supply
and flues for the products of combustion must
be inspected in accordance with national
regulations or if these do not exist, the Space
or Water Heater manufacturerís
recommendations. Whale advises that this
must be carried out at least annually, by a
Whale Approved Service Centre / Technician,
or competent person, at least annually. This
must be completed according to the practice
in the country where it is used and according
to the Whale instructions.
Whale recommends annual testing of gas
soundness and combustion by an accredited
LPG engineer. The Space and Water Heater
contain ESD sensitive components and
therefore
must only be opened by a Whale
Approved Service Centre / Technician (contact
Whale Support).
Any alteration to the appliances, including the
components used for the products of
combustion, use of non-Whale spare parts/
accessories and non-observation of the
installation and operation instructions will lead
to cancellation of the warranty and exclusion
of liability claims and results in it becoming
illegal to use the appliance.
When using non Whale operating switches
provided by the installer or vehicle
manufacturer, they are responsible for
providing user instructions and identification of
symbols on the control panel.
