Safety behavior and practices

Ensuring a safe operating environment
• Danger of suffocation! To ensure dis-
sipation of exhaust gases, operate the
Combi furnace outdoors only.
– Never use in enclosed spaces or tents or
breathe in the exhaust gases.
– If installing an airtight awning, make sure
that the exhaust system terminates to the
outdoors.
– If the RV is parked in an enclosed space:
– Block the flow of fuel to the Combi
furnace.
– Deactivate the time switch.
– Switch off the Combi furnace at the con-
trol panel.
– Ensure that the Combi furnace cannot be
switched on through the Truma App un-
der any circumstances.
• Use the Combi furnace only with a func-
tional LP gas and carbon monoxide detector
installed in the RV. For installation, operation
and function test follow the manufacturer's
guidelines.

• Keep the area around the Combi furnace free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors or liquids such as
pressurized dispensers or wax candles.
• Keep the area in front of the warm air outlets
(Fig. 1 – H) free of combustible or heat-sen-
sitive materials. Do not put any material into
the warm air outlets.
• In order to avoid overheating of the Combi
furnace, keep the air inlets of the Combi
furnace (Fig. 2 – 11), the air openings to the
area in which the Combi furnace is installed
(Fig. 1 – D) and the spacing around the
Combi furnace free of obstruction.
• To ensure clean combustion, keep the wall
cowl free of obstruction. Do not lean any ob-
jects against the wall cowl (Fig. 1 – F).
• Danger of hot surfaces. The temperature of
the exhaust gases can reach 320 °F (160 °C).
Do not touch the area around the wall cowl
and do not lean any objects against the wall
cowl or the RV.
Responsibilities of the operator
• The operator is responsible for the water filled
into the Combi water container and its quality.
• The operator is responsible for protecting the
Combi furnace against freezing.
Safe operation
• Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or
any mixtures containing more than 10 % of
butane must not be used.
– LPG tanks must be filled by a qualified gas
supplier only.
• Danger of damage to the gas system! For
the operation of gas pressure regulation sys-
tems, gas-burning devices or gas systems
only gas cylinders that supply gas in the
gaseous phase may be used. Gas cylinders
which supply gas in the liquid phase are
prohibited.
• Ensure that the interior of the RV is suf-
ficiently vented. The Combi furnace might
briefly emit smoke and an odor because of
dust or dirt when it is switched on, especially
if it has not been used in a long time.
– For using the Combi furnace in hot water
mode (140 °F (60 °C)), let it heat up several
times.
