Operating Instructions

Air Top Series Heaters
Introduction
Dear Webasto Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Webasto Air Top Series Heater.
Air Top Series Heaters are used
– to heat cabins, boats, trucks, minibuses, vans and motor-homes and
– to defrost vehicle windows.
We presume that the principle and mode of operation of your new heater has
been explained to your complete satisfaction by the workshop or service
center which installed the heater. In these operating instructions we would
like to once again provide you with an overview of the safe use of your new
heater.
Repair work should only be carried out by an authorized Webasto dealer.
Servicing and Safety Instructions
1. When the heater is in use, the surface of the hot air outlet will become hot to the touch.
Contact with skin may cause burns.
2. Webasto heaters must be switched "off" when re-fueling at gas stations and/or
while loading or unloading flammable materials for transport, to prevent the
risk of explosion.
3. The year in which the heater was used for the first time must be permanently displayed
on the factory plate by deleting the inapplicable years from the plate.
4. The heaters are not designed for heating hazardous substance transport
compartments.
5. Claims can only be made if it can be verified that the claimant has complied with the
servicing and safety instructions.
6. The heater may not be operated in enclosed spaces (such as garages) as a result
of the risk of poisoning and asphyxiation, even if a timer is used.
7. In the event of long-lasting heavy smoke development, unusual combustion noises or a
smell of fuel or if the heater suffers continuous fault cut-outs with error messages
(flashing code), it must be shut down by removing the fuse and must not be used until it
has been inspected by Webasto-trained personnel.
8. Wherever flammable vapors or dust may form, the heater must be switched off
as a result of the risk of explosion.
9. The heat transfer unit on air heaters is exposed to very high thermal stress and
must be replaced by a genuine Webasto spare part after a ten year life cycle.
