Safety instructions

What must I do if I smell gas?
– Extinguish all naked flames
– Open windows and doors
– Close all quick-acting valves and gas cylinders
– Do not smoke
– Do not operate any electrical switches
– Have the entire gas system checked by an
expert.
A safe operating environment
– The unit may be operated only with appropri-
ate Truma control panels and accessories.
– Danger of toxic exhaust fumes. The heater's
exhaust can be toxic in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garages, workshops). If the vehicle is parked
in closed rooms:
– Shut off the fuel supply to the heater
– Deactivate the time switch
– Switch off the heater at the control panel.
– If the cowl has been placed near or directly
beneath an opening window, the appliance
must be equipped with an automatic shut-off
device in order to prevent operation with the
window open.
– Heat-sensitive objects (e.g. spray cans) or
flammable materials/ liquids must not be
stored in the same compartment where the
appliance is installed because, under certain
conditions, this area may be subject to el-
evated temperatures.
– Keep flammable materials away from the
area in front of the warm air outlets. Never
block the warm air outlets.
– The openings for circulated air intake, the in-
stallation compartment and the space around
the unit must be kept free of obstacles so
that the unit does not overheat.
– Keep the cowl for the exhaust duct and
combustion air intake free of contamination
(slush, ice, leaves etc.) at all times.
– Danger from hot surfaces and exhaust gas.
Do not touch the area around the wall cowl
and do not lean any objects against the wall
cowl or the vehicle.
Obligations of the operator / vehicle owner
– The operator is responsible for the water
with which the Combi boiler is filled and for
its quality.
– The vehicle owner is responsible for correct
operation of the appliance.
– The installer or vehicle owner must affix the
supplied yellow sticker with the warning
information in a location in the vehicle
where it is clearly visible to all users (e.g.
the wardrobe door). Missing stickers can be
requested from Truma.
– Liquid gas systems must comply with the
technical and administrative regulations of
the respective country of use (e.g. EN 1949
for vehicles in Europe). The national legis-
lation and regulations (e.g. DVGW Work
Sheet G 607 for vehicles in Germany) must
be observed.
– The vehicle owner must arrange for the
gas system to be tested (in Germany every
2 years) by a liquid gas expert (DVFG, TÜV,
DEKRA). The test must be confirmed on the
respective test certificate (G 607).
– Pressure regulating devices and hoses must
be replaced with new ones no more than
10 years after their date of manufacture
( every 8 years if used commercially).
– Inspect hose lines regularly and have them
replaced if they are broken.
– If the heater is not being used, always drain
off the water if there is a risk of frost. No
claims may be made under the warranty for
damage caused by frost.
Safe operation
– The use of upright gas cylinders from which
gas is taken in the gas phase is mandatory
for the operation of gas pressure regulation
systems, gas equipment and gas systems.
Gas cylinders from which gas is taken in the
liquid phase (e. g. for fork lifts) must not be
used, since they would result in damage to
the gas system.
– The operating pressure of the gas supply
(30 mbar) and of the appliance (see type
plate) must be the same.
