Safe operation
• Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or
any mixtures containing more than 10% bu-
tane must not be used.
– LP tanks must be filled by a qualified gas
supplier only.
• The nominal gas system pressure must be
10.5 in. wc.
• Hot water can be dangerous, especially for
infants, children, the elderly, or infirm. It can
cause severe burns. Therefore:
– Never actuate the pressure relief valve
(Fig. 1 – 4 ) as long as the appliance is still
hot.
– Never actuate the Easy Drain Lever
(Fig. 1 – 11) as long as the appliance is
under water pressure and/or still hot.
– Always check the water temperature
before entering a shower or bath.

age?

• The water pressure on the inlet side must be
limited to 65 psi (4.5 bar), otherwise internal
components of the appliance will be dam-
aged. On (city) water connections with a
pressure higher than 65 psi (4.5 bar) a pres-
sure regulator is strongly recommended.
While driving
• To avoid damage, make sure the access door
(Fig. 1 – 20) to the appliance is closed before
moving the RV, as follows:
– Turn lock is engaged.
– Access door is flush with the cover plate.

• Shut OFF gas and the LP tank when moving
the RV. This disables all gas appliances and
pilot lights. Gas appliances must never be
operated while the vehicle is in motion.
• Shut OFF the appliance when refueling or
pumping gas, in multi-storey car parks, in
garages or on ferries.
• To avoid damage, make sure no spray water
enters the appliance when cleaning the RV,
e.g., do not spray directly into the openings/
ventilation grille.
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 dam-
aged by flooding or if the vehicle has been
involved in an accident. A damaged appli-
ance 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 re-
placed 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 intercon-
necting wiring must be carried out by a
licensed electrician.
