BOILER DESIGN
The boiler consists of three eccen trically-
¿WWHG F\OLQGHUV KHDW H[FKDQJHU ZDWHU
jacket for the heating system and, outer-
most, water jacket for hot water).
The two outer pipes, and their ends and
connections, are made of stainless steel,
while the heat exchanger is made of alu-
minium.
The heat exchanger is divided into two
semi-circles. The burner is located in
the upper half, being the combustion
chamber, and the combustion gases are
expelled through the lower half.

heat exchanger. It consists of a combus-
tion fan, burner, solenoid valve and intake/
exhaust connections.

DESCRIPTION OF
FUNCTIONS
Using LPG
When LPG operation is selected on the
control panel, the combustion fan starts.
When the fan speed is correct, it signals
the circuit board that the boiler can be lit.
The circuit board sends ignition sparks to
the sparkplug at the same time as it sends
electricity to the solenoid valve, which
opens to allow gas in. The burner ignites,
and a sensor transmits a signal back to
the circuit board that the boiler is lit, and
the ignition spark stops. The burner keeps
burning until the boiler thermostat or the
room thermostat reaches the set tempera-
ture reading.
Should the boiler go out for any reason,
the sensor is activated and a new attempt
is made to start the boiler (in about 10
seconds).
Using the heating cartridge
Electrical operation is selected on the con-
trol panel, the 12-volt relays on the circuit
board trip, allowing the 230 volt supply to
reach the electrical elements. The heating
cartridge is controlled in the same way as
the gas boiler.
Warm water
When only warm water is required, for
example during the summer, no settings
need to be made, the boiler will look after
this function automatically.
The pump will only start when the
temperature in the vehicle is lower than
the set temperature (see item 4, Control
Panel).
If the vehicle temperature is higher, the
pump will not start.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
‡ The boiler must not be started if there
is no glycol in the system.
‡ The boiler always gives priority to the
electrical heating cartridge.
‡ The LPG boiler and heating cartridge
may be operated in parallel.
‡ The heating system may be heated up
without the warm water heater being
¿OOHG ZLWK IUHVK ZDWHU
‡ Always switch off the main isolator for
the boiler when the vehicle is not being
used.
‡ Always drain the warm water heater of
fresh water if there is a risk of frost.
‡ The LPG boiler must not be operated
when refuelling the vehicle.
‡ When washing the vehicle, take care
not to get water in the roof vent.
THE DOMESTIC HOT
WATER HEATER
7KH ERLOHU LV ¿WWHG ZLWK D EXLOWLQ ZDUP
water heater with a volume of approx. 8.5-
litres fresh water. The warm water heater
can produce around 12 litres of 40°C
water per half-hour (at a cold water tem-
perature of 10°C). If the heating cartridges
are used instead of gas for heating the
boiler, the capacity is slightly reduced.
Always rinse out the heater before it is
used, particularly if it has not been in
operation for some time.
NB! The hot water is not intended for
drinking or cooking. When the heater is
in continuous use, it should be emptied
approx. once a month, to ensure that a
new air cushion is formed in the heater.
The air cushion is essential for absorbing
pressure surges in the heater. For emp-
tying specially-adapted boilers, as well
as any other freshwater systems in the
vehicle, please refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
NB! The warm water heater should
always be drained of fresh water when
there is a risk of frost and when the
caravan is not in use. The warranty
does not cover frost damage.
Draining the heater using the com-
bined safety/drain valve:
1. Switch off the freshwater pump
2. Open all water taps.
3. Then open the safety/drain valve by
raising the yellow lever (M) to a vertical
position or alternatively turn the knob
(K) 180°.
4. The heater will now drain directly below
the vehicle through the safety/ drain
valve hose. Check that all the water is
emptied out (about 7-10 litres). Leave
the valve in the open position until the
next time the heater is used.
5. NB! Check that the automatic check
valve (N) is open and is allowing air
to enter the heater when it is being
drained, and that the hose (O) is not
blocked.
