General Safety Notes - Bailey Motorhomes Owner's Manual

● Any alteration to the appliance (including exhaust duct and cowl) or the use of spare parts and
accessories which are important to the function of the heater and which are not original Truma parts,
as well as the non-observance of the installation and operating instructions, will lead to the cancelling
of the guarantee and exclusion of liability claims.
▲ During the initial operation of a brand new appliance, a certain amount of fumes and a
slight smell may be noticed for a short while. Remedial action here is to immediately run
the heater at maximum output and to ensure adequate room ventilation.
● Underfloor combustion air intakes must be kept clear of dirt and slush.
● In winter, before switching on the heater, clear all snow from the cowl.
● If the heater is repeatedly blown out in very windy parking spots, or when using in winter, we
recommend the SKV cowl extension kit. (Art. No. 30690-00) which can be screwed onto the cowlshaft
when required and which must be taken off again before driving the vehicle.
● Inspect the exhaust duct and all connections at regular intervals, and always whenever there is a
blowback (misfire). It is essential that the exhaust duct is installed so that it slopes upwards over its
whole length and is securely fixed with several clamps. Never place any object on the exhaust duct,
since this could result in damage. The exhaust duct connection to both the heater and the cowl must
be firm and well sealed. Do not operate heaters with incorrectly fitted or damaged exhaust ducts!
● Never allow the warm air outlet on the heater to be obstructed in any way. For instance never hang
washing on or in front of the heater to dry. Misusing your heater in this way could cause serious
damage from overheating. Do not place flammable objects near the heater. Please follow these
guidelines in the interest of your own safety.
● If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the flame lifts off while burning, it is likely that the regulator
is faulty, and it is essential to have it checked.
● Cleaning (with switched off appliance): It is recommended that at least once a year, before the
heating season starts, you remove any dust that has collected on the heat exchanger and base
plate.
▲ Children should be kept away from this product when it is in operation, the front can get
very hot. Alternatively a fireguard should be used.
