During the initial start-up of a brand new
appliance, small quantities of fumes and
a slight odour may briefly occur. When the ap-
pliance is started up after a particularly long
period of non-use, there may be some smoke
and/or smell due to dust or dirt. It is a good
idea to allow the appliance to run at maximum
output for a few minutes for the purpose of
self-cleaning and to ensure that the area is
well ventilated.
An unusual burning noise or flame in-
crease is indicative of a regulator defect
and means that the regulator must be checked.
Objects (e.g. spray cans) or flammable
materials / liquids must not be stored in
the same compartment where the appliance is
installed or in the appliance itself, because un-
der certain conditions elevated temperatures
may arise there.
In Germany, only pressure regulat-
ing equipment that complies with
DIN EN 16129 (in vehicles) with a fixed out-
put pressure of 30 mbar may be used for the
gas system. The flow rate of the pressure
regulating equipment must at least match the
maximum consumption of all the equipment
that is installed.
We recommend the Truma MonoControl
CS gas pressure regulation system for ve-
hicles, and also the DuoControl CS gas pres-
sure regulation system for the two-cylinder
gas system.
At temperatures of around 0 °C and be-
low, the gas pressure regulation system
or the changeover valve should be operated
with the EisEx regulator heater.
Controller connecting hoses that meet
national regulations must always be
used in the respective destination country.
These hoses must be checked regularly for
brittleness.
Pressure regulating devices and hoses
must be replaced with new ones no
more than 10 years after their date of manu-
facture (every 8 years if used commercially).
The operator is responsible for this.
For operating the heater with a wall cowl
–
The openings of the wall cowl must
remain clear. Remove dirt, leaves
and, particularly in winter, snow or slush
from the openings, if necessary. This must
be checked occasionally.
For operating the heater with a roof cowl
–
The roof cowl must be kept free in
the air flow during operation of the
heater. Roof structures may interfere with
the function of the heater.
–
Snow must be cleared from the roof
cowl before the heater is started up
during the winter.
–
For winter camping and long-term
camping, we recommend the SKV
cowl extension kit that can be screwed to
the cowl part (3 x 15 cm).
–
If the heater keeps going out in ex-
tremely windy locations or during the
winter, we recommend the use of an
AKV cowl extension (15 cm) and also the
T-2 or T-3 cowl top.
–
If two or three 15cm extensions are
used, they must be removed before
the vehicle is in motion so that they are not
lost (risk of accident). Remaining exten-
sions must be screwed in place.
– If a canopy is fitted to the caravan, it is
essential to lead the roof cowl through
this roof. Use the cowl lead-through UEK
for this.
–
The combustion air intake opening
underneath the vehicle must be kept
clear of dirt, leaves and slush. There must
not be any combustible materials (e.g hay,
leaves, fabrics) in the vicinity of the com-
bustion air intake. The air intake connection
of the heater must therefore not be in the
spray area of the wheels, attach splash
guard if necessary
The heat exchanger, the exhaust duct
and all connections must be checked by
an expert at regular intervals, and always after
loud combustion
(misfiring).
