GENERAL INFORMATION
There are four gas appliances in the motorhome: refrigerator, water heater,
hob and oven. Gas flows to a set of safety shut-off valves controlling each
appliance. The valves allow isolation of a single appliance without affecting
the operation of the other equipment.
Each appliance is fitted with a FLAME FAILURE DEVICE it is necessary to
keep the gas control knob (appliances other than the water heater)
depressed for 15 to 30 seconds after ignition to activate the device.
If the gas stops flowing to the appliance or the flame is extinguished, the
flame failure device automatically closes the valve to shut off gas supply to
the appliance.
Each appliance has a gas isolation valve fitted in the gas system to enable
each appliance to be turned off from the gas supply for routine servicing or
if a fault should develop. Please familiarise yourself with the location of
these isolation valves which are clearly marked with their open and closed
position, and which appliance each individual valve operates.
Please make sure all gas appliances are working efficiently to the
recommendations of the appliance manufacturer.
TYPES OF GAS
Butane
Butane is supplied in the UK in green or blue bottles. Continental bottles
usually have a male left hand thread similar but not identical to UK butane.
Butane has a recommended service temperature of down to 2°C but will
work below that.
Propane
Propane is supplied in red or partly red bottles that have a female left
hand thread connector. Germany and Austria supply propane with a
male connection.
Propane is suitable for use at temperatures as low as -30°C and is therefore
ideal for all winter caravanning.
Cylinder Compartment
Your vehicle is designed to take either 13kg or 7kg gas bottles, this is
dependant on the model you have chosen. The compartment has low level
ventilation to ensure the safe operation of the cylinders and should not be
blocked or obstructed in any way.
Please ensure that any additional items stored in this compartment are
secure and cannot damage any of the pipe work or fittings.
Changing a Gas Cylinder
Ensure the cylinder valve is fully closed before
disconnecting the high pressure hose from the bottle.
Release the gas bottle retaining straps that restrain the
gas bottles in the compartment.
Carefully remove the gas bottles from the compartment
taking care not to damage any pipe work or fittings
in the process.
Refitting a gas bottle is a reversal of the above
procedure, but please ensure that the high
pressure hose is connected correctly before
opening the cylinder valve.
