General Safety Notes; Technical Data; Manufacturer's Terms Of Warranty - Truma B 10 Gebrauchsanweisung

3. If there is a defect in the el-
ectronics, return the control
p.c.b. well padded. If you fail
to pack it correctly the guar-
antee shall no longer be valid.
Only use original water heater
control p.c.b.'s as spare parts!
4. If just the cold water sys-
tem is being used, without
water heater, the heater tank
is also filled up with water. In
order to avoid damage
through frost, the water con-
tents must be drained by ac-
tuating the safety/drain valve,
also when the heater has not
been used. As an alternative,
a shut-off valve can be instal-
led upstream of the cold and
hot water connection.

General safety notes

In event of leaks in the gas
system or if there is a
smell of gas:
- extinguish all naked
flames!
- do not smoke!
- switch off the appliances!
- shut off the gas cylinder!
- open the windows!
- do not actuate any elec-
trical switches!
- have the entire system
checked by an expert.!
1. Repair jobs are only to
be carried out by an ex-
pert.
2. Any alteration to the appli-
ance (including exhaust duct
and cowl) or the use of spare
parts and accessories which
are important for the functio-
ning of the heater and which
are not original Truma parts,
as well as the non-observan-
ce of the installation and ope-
rating instructions, shall lead
to the cancelling of the gua-
rantee and exclusion of liabili-
ty claims. It also becomes ille-
gal to use the appliance, and
in some countries this even
makes it illegal to use the ve-
hicle.
3. The operating pressure
for the gas supply is
30 mbar (or 28 mbar buta-
ne/37 mbar propane) or
50 mbar and must corre-
spond to the operating
pressure of the appliance
(see name plate).
4. In Germany only, liquid
gas installations must comply
with the DVGW form G 607
for motor vehicles.
4
The gas system must be
tested every 2 years by a li-
quid gas expert (DVFG, TÜV,
DEKRA). This inspection must
be confirmed on the test cer-
tificate in accordance with
the DVGW-form G 607.
The vehicle owner is al-
ways responsible for arran-
ging the inspection.
5. In other countries the re-
spectively valid regulations
must be observed. For your
own safety it is absolutely ne-
cessary to have the complete
gas installation regularly
checked by an expert (every
2 years at the latest).
6. Do not operate the water
heater when refuelling
the vehicle and when in the
garage.
7. During the initial operation
of a brand new appliance (or
after it has not been used for
some time), a slight amount
of fumes and smell may be
noticed for a short while. This
can be remedied by running
the heater at maximum out-
put and ensuring adequate
room ventilation.
8. If the burner makes an un-
usual noise or if the flame lifts
off, it is likely that the regula-
tor is faulty and it is essential
to have it checked.
For the gas system only gas
pressure regulators with pro-
tection against excess pres-
sure, such as regulators with
safety valves according to
DIN 4811 and VP 306, may
be used. We recommend the
Truma DUB vehicle regulator
or in the case of a two cylin-
der gas installation that is on-
ly accessible from the outsi-
de, the Truma Triomatic auto-
matic reserve switch-over.
The Truma regulators have
been specially designed for
heavy duty use in caravans,
boats and vehicles. In additi-
on to a safety valve for coun-
tering excess pressure, they
also have a pressure gauge
with which you can check
that the installation is fully
gas tight.
Always connect the pressure
regulators to the gas cylin-
ders by hand, using great ca-
re! For temperatures
around 0°C and below, the
regulators should be operated
with a defroster system (Eis-
Ex). Inspect regulator connec-
tion hoses regularly for signs
of weakness. For winter ope-
ration only use special frost-
resistant hoses. Gas cylinders
must always stand upright!

Manufacturer's
terms of warranty
1. Case of warranty
The manufacturer grants a
warranty for malfunctions in
the appliance which are based
on material or production
faults. In addition to this, the
statutory warranty claims
against the seller remain valid.
A claim under warranty shall
not pertain:
- For parts subject to wear
and in cases of natural wear
and tear,
- as a result of not original
Truma parts being used in
the appliance and as a result
of unsuitable gas pressure
regulators being used,
- as a consequence of failure
to respect Truma instructions
for installation and use,
- as a consequence of impro-
per handling,
- as a consequence of impro-
per transport packing, not
arranged by Truma.
2. Scope of warranty
The warranty is valid for mal-
functions as stated under
item 1, which occur within
24 months after conclusion of
the purchase agreement bet-
ween the seller and the final
consumer. The manufacturers
will make good such defects
by subsequent fulfilment, i.e.
at their discretion either by re-
pair or replacement. In the
event of manufacturers provi-
ding service under warranty,
the term of the warranty shall
not recommence anew with
regard to the repaired or re-
placed parts; rather, the old
warranty period shall conti-
nue to run. More extensive
claims, in particular claims for
compensatory damages by
purchasers or third parties,
shall be excluded. This does
not affect the rules of the pro-
duct liability law.
The manufacturer shall bear
the cost of employing the
Truma customer service for
the removal of a malfunction
under warranty - in particular
transportation costs, travel-
ling expenses, job and materi-
al costs, as long as the servi-
ce is carried out in Germany.
Customer service carried out
abroad is not covered by the
warranty.
Additional costs based on
complicated removal and in-
stallation conditions of the
appliance (e.g. removal of fur-
niture or parts of the vehicle
body) do not come under
warranty.
3. Raising the case of
warranty
The address of the manufac-
turers is: Truma Gerätetechnik
GmbH & Co. KG,
Wernher-von-Braun Strasse 12,
D-85640 Putzbrunn. In Ger-
many, in the event of faults, in
principle the Truma Service
Centre at the manufacturers'
address is to be notified; ab-
road, respective service part-
ners are available (refer to ad-
dress list). Complaints must
be specified. In addition, the
correctly completed warranty
certificate must be presented
or the Serial number of the
appliance and the date of
purchase specified.
In order for the manufacturers
to be able to determine
whether an incident subject to
guarantee has occurred, the
end user must, at his own risk,
bring the device to the manu-
facturers or send it to them. If
there is damage to heaters
(heat exchangers), the gas
pressure regulator must also
be sent back to the factory.
In instances of the device
being sent to the works,
dispatch is to be effected by
freight transport. In cases un-
der guarantee, the works
shall bear the transport costs
or the costs of delivery and
return. If the damage is dee-
med not to be a warranty ca-
se, the manufacturer shall no-
tify the customer and shall
specify repair costs which
shall not be borne by the ma-
nufacturer; in this case, the
customer shall also bear the
shipping costs.
