Operating instructions

Always follow the operating instructions before starting
up. The vehicle owner is responsible for correct operation of
the appliance.
The yellow sticker containing warning information that is en-
closed with the appliance must be affixed by the installer or
vehicle owner in a location in the vehicle where it is clearly
visible to all users (e.g. on the wardrobe door)! Missing stick-
ers can be requested from Truma
Before using for the first time, the entire water supply
must be thoroughly rinsed with warm, clear water. Al-
ways fit the cowl cover when the boiler is not in use. Drain the
boiler if there is a risk of frost.
No claims may be made under the warranty for damage
caused by frost.
The materials of the device that come into contact with water
are drinking water safe (see Manufacturer's Declaration,
www.truma.com – Manufacturer's Declaration).

Filling the Truma Boiler with water

Check that the safety/drain valve in the cold water supply is
closed: the lever should be in the horizontal position (e).

e = Lever position "Closed"
f = Lever position "Drain"
Turn on the hot water tap in the bathroom or the kitchen.
In the case of thermostatic or single-lever mixer taps, set to
"warm".
Switch on the power for the water pump (main switch or
pump switch).
Leave the fittings open for as long as it takes for the boiler to
displace the air and fill up and for water to flow.
In the event of frost, filling may be prevented by frozen resid-
ual water. The boiler can be thawed by turning it on briefly (no
more than 2 minutes). Frozen lines can be thawed by heating
the interior.

Draining the boiler

If the caravan is not used during the winter, the Truma
Boiler must be drained.
Switch off the power for the water pump (main switch or
pump switch).
Turn on the hot water taps in the bathroom and kitchen.
Open safety/drain valve: lever vertical, position (f).
The boiler will now be drained directly to the outside via the
safety/drain valve. Check that all the water has drained out of
the boiler (10 litres)

Never operate the boiler when empty.
If the cowl has been placed near or directly beneath an open-
ing window, the boiler must be equipped with an automatic
shut-off device in order to prevent operation with the window
open.
Remove the cowl cover.
Open the gas cylinder and the quick-acting valve in the gas
supply line.
Turn the boiler on using the switch on the control panel (b).
When operating vehicle-specific switches:
see vehicle manufacturer's operating instructions or markings
on switches.
If the gas supply line is full of air, it may take up to a min-
ute before gas is available to burn. If the device switches to
"Fault", repeat the start-up procedure by switching off (wait
for 5 minutes!) and switching on again.

Switching off

Switch boiler off at control panel (c). Fit cowl cover. Drain the
boiler if there is a risk of frost. If the boiler is not being used
for a long time, close the quick-acting valve in the gas supply
line and gas cylinder.

Red LED "Failure"

The red LED (a) will light up if there is a failure. Possible caus-
es are described on page 12. To clear the fault, switch device
off, wait 5 minutes and switch on again.
