Safe handling of malfunctions 

•  Switch OFF the gas supply and the appliance: 

if anything seems to be out of the ordinary. 

if you smell gas. 

• 

 Fire / explosion if you attempt to use an appliance that has been damaged by flooding or if the 

vehicle has been involved in an accident. A damaged appliance must be repaired by an expert or be replaced. 

•  Only carry out repairs yourself if the solution is described in the troubleshooting guide of this manual. 
•  A damaged appliance may have to be replaced with a new one. 

Safe maintenance and repair 

•  Repairs may only be carried out by an expert. 
•  Children must not carry out maintenance, repair, or cleaning work. 
•  Before accessing terminals, please secure all supply circuits (i.e. 12 V) and ensure that the gas supply is securely 

turned off. 

•  Any work involving connection or interconnecting wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
• 

Only use AquaGo decalcification tablets to decalcify the appliance to avoid damage and the voiding of your 

warranty. Never use vinegar. Call your local AquaGo dealer or service provider or see www.truma.net for more 
information.

- The use of non-Truma-approved substances for decalcification can cause chemical reactions and produce hazardous 

substances that could enter the drinking water.
•  Any alteration to the appliance or its controls can cause unforeseen serious hazards and will void the warranty.
•  After a long period of winterization: Flush all hot/cold water hoses and the appliance thoroughly with drinking water 

before using it.

•  Keep the appliance free of foreign objects, e.g., leaves, animals, spiderwebs, and keep the area around free of snow 

and ice. The appliance will not function properly if the intake air or exhaust terminal is obstructed.

Safety features 

The appliance is equipped with the following safety devices: 

Flame monitoring 
If the flame goes out, the gas supply to the burner is switched off (after 3 failed restarts). 

Low-voltage (over-voltage) shutdown 

If the voltage drops below 10 VDC (or rises above 16.4 VDC), the appliance shuts off. 

Overcurrent protection 

If there is a short circuit in the appliance (>10 A), a fuse on the control unit is activated and the appliance is switched off. 

Monitoring of the flue fan 
If there is a failure of the flue fan, the gas supply to the burner is switched off. 

Monitoring of hot water temperature 

A water over temperature switch avoids excessively high water temperatures in case of a fault.
