Safe Operation; Operation While Driving - Truma Combi E Gebrauchsanweisung

– 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.

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.
– In Germany, only pressure regulating equip-
ment that complies with DIN EN 16129 (in
vehicles) with a fixed output pressure of
30 mbar may be used for the gas system.
The flow rate of the pressure regulating
equipment must correspond to at least the
maximum consumption of all devices in-
stalled by the system manufacturer.
– We recommend the Truma MonoControl CS
gas pressure regulation system for vehicles,
and also the DuoControl CS gas pressure
regulation system for the two-cylinder gas
system.
– At temperatures of around 0 °C and below,
the gas pressure regulation system or the
changeover valve should be operated with
the EisEx regulator heater.
– Suitable hoses that meet national regula-
tions must always be used in the respective
country for which the equipment is destined.
– During the initial start-up of a brand new
appliance, small quantities of fumes and a
slight odour may briefly occur. When the
appliance is started up after a particularly
long period of non-use, there may be some
smoke and/or smell due to dust or dirt. It is
a good idea to allow the appliance to run at
maximum output for a few minutes and to
ensure that the area is well ventilated.

– Hot air can be dangerous particularly to tod-
dlers, children, older or infirm people and
can cause burn injuries. The air flowing out
can reach high temperatures at the hot air
vents. Always check the air temperature be-
fore making adjustments at the hot air vents.
– Hot water can be dangerous particularly
to toddlers, children, older or infirm people
and can cause burn injuries. Check the wa-
ter temperature every time before taking a
shower or bath.
– This appliance may be used by children from
8 years old and by persons with disabilities
or with a lack of experience only if they are
supervised or have been instructed in the
safe use of the appliance and understand the
resulting risks. Children must not be allowed
to play with the appliance.
– The integrity and tight fit of the exhaust dou-
ble duct must be checked regularly, particu-
larly at the end of long trips. Also check the
mounting of the appliance and the cowl.

Operation while driving

– For heating while driving, the directive
UN ECE R 122 for motor caravans and cara-
vans specifies a safety shut-off device in
order to prevent the uncontrolled escape of
gas in the event of an accident. The Truma
MonoControl CS gas pressure regulation
system satisfies this requirement. Through-
out Europe, a type-tested liquid gas heater
may be used while driving (according to
the directive UN ECE R 122) if the system
includes a gas pressure regulation system
with an appropriately configured gas installa-
tion. National regulations and rules must be
followed.
– If no safety shut-off device (e.g. as contained
within the Truma MonoControl CS gas pres-
sure regulation system) has been installed,
the gas cylinder must be closed when driv-
ing and information signs must be at-
tached in the gas cylinder protection box and
in the vicinity of the control panel.
Never use LP gas appliances when
–
refuelling, in multi-storey car parks, in
garages, or on ferries. Switch off the LP gas
appliance at the control panel. Make sure that
the LP gas appliance can never be switched
on via a remote control e.g the Truma App.
