Installation instructions

Selecting a location

The appliance and its exhaust gas system must always be
installed so that they are easy to access at all times for service
work (e.g. on the electronics, gas and water connection via a
service flap, furniture doors etc.) and are easy to remove and
install.
The distance between the appliance and surrounding furni-
ture items or vehicle components must be at least 10 mm at
all sides.
The distance between the warm air ducts and adjacent
heat-sensitive parts must be at least 10 mm.
There must not be any heat-sensitive materials beneath the
appliance (e.g. floor coverings such as PVC, cables etc.), since
high temperatures can occur at the base of the appliance.
The scope of delivery includes a second type plate (duplicate)
with removable bar code.
If the type plate on the heater is not legible after the heater
has been installed, the second type plate (duplicate) must be
affixed to the appliance in a clearly visible location.
The duplicate must only be used in conjunction with the
original.
Figure 1
In order to heat the vehicle evenly throughout, the heater
must be installed in a location in the vehicle that is as central
as possible in a wardrobe, stowage compartment or the like,
and at an adequate height so that the air distribution ducts
can be routed with almost equal lengths. Appropriate open-
ings must be present in the installation compartment so that
air can be drawn in – see relevant sections concerning circu-
lated air intake and warm air distribution.
In order to reduce the potential danger caused by a
heater becoming loose in the event of an accident, the
upper covering plate (17) of the installation cabinet can be
screwed to other pieces of furniture in a position that makes it
flush with the heater. Depending on the installation situation,
it may be necessary (especially with rear-mounted fixtures) to
install a stable furniture console (18) in front of (next to) the
heater, perpendicular to the direction of travel. For this pur-
pose, a solid spacer (minimum cross section 30 x 50 mm) can
be attached at a height of approx. 180 mm above the floor, or
a board (18a) for sliding in on a stable furniture console.
In order to prevent damage to components inside the equip-
ment, no cables or water lines of any kind may be attached to
the equipment's insulation.
The operation of important vehicle components must not be
adversely affected.

* Minimum dimensions – depending on the installation situ-
ation, additional space must be provided for a gas connec-
tion, water connections and a safety/drain valve. All dimen-
sions in mm.
Possible danger of suffocation from exhaust fumes.
– Cowls must be positioned so that exhaust cannot
enter the interior.
– Do not install the cowl in the side wall in which the
door is located and an awning can be attached.
– On a van, install the cowl so that the open sliding
door cannot cover the cowl.
– The distance between the exhaust gas system
and adjacent heat-sensitive parts must be at least
10 mm.
– The cowl must be in the form of a wall cowl or
roof cowl.
Figure 3
The wall or roof cowl must be attached such that there is
no fuel tank filler neck or fuel tank breather opening within
500 mm (R). There must also be no living area ventilation
openings or window openings within 300 mm.

If the cowl is installed directly underneath a window
that can be opened, an electric window switch (part no.
34000-85800) must be installed.
