NFORMATION
There are four gas appliances in the
motor home: 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 into 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.

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 a 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.
