1.15 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Always switch off the main isolating switch for the heating system when the vehicle is not in use.
• The LP Gas burner must not be in operation when refuelling the vehicle or when filling a fixed LPG tank.
• When washing the vehicle, do not spray water directly towards the flue.
• When camping in winter conditions, ensure that the flue and exhaust air valves are kept clear of snow and ice.
• The vehicle may be heated even if the hot water boiler inside the boiler is not filled with water.
• The LP Gas burner and electric element may be operated simultaneously.
• Always drain the hot water tank in the heating system when there is a risk of frost and when the vehicle is not being
used. Failing to do so could lead to a risk of serious frost damage.
• Always renew the air cushion in the hot water tank after 10 days of use to create a new air cushion. This can be
done by opening the safety/drain valve on the heating system for a few seconds.
• Always maintain the proper level of glycol fluid in the heating system.
• The glycol mixture should be changed every other year because certain properties such as corrosion protection
deteriorate over time.
Omitting to change the fluid can result in frost damage, corrosion, bacterial growth and/or overheating.
• Sterilisation fluids for water can cause harmful corrosion to the stainless structure of the heating. Always read the
data label regarding additives that are used and make sure that the system is flushed of all additives before using
the heating system.
• Hard water is water that has a high dissolved-mineral content, particularly calcium. If the boiler is used in a hard wa-
ter area for prolonged periods, install a water filter. Hard water can lead to a build-up of lime scale that can reduce
the functionality of the system.
NOTICE
Close the main LP Gas valve in the following circumstances:
• When a leak in the LP Gas system is suspected.
• When the vehicle is not intended to be used.
• The national legislation of the country you are in may require you to close the main LP Gas tap when the vehi-
cle is in traffic.
• When repairing the heating system.
