WARNINGS

Observe all warnings.
In the unlikely event of leaks in the gas system, or if there is a smell of gas:
• Extinguish all naked flames
• Switch off all appliances and do not operate any electrical switches
• Turn off all gas appliances
• Open windows and doors for ventilation
• Do not smoke
• Shut off gas connection
Immediately ensure that the system is thoroughly checked by a registered gas engineer at a Whale® Approved
Service Centre or by a member of the Whale Service Engineer Network.
The Space Heater must not be operated in the following situations:
• When refuelling the vehicle or refuelling the vehicle towing the caravan or refuelling any other
appliances.
• When the vehicle in which the Space Heater is installed is in a confined space (such as a garage).
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
A minimum of one of the hot air outlet vents must be permanently open. This hot air vent must be the vent located
the furthest distance from the Space Heater.
Any alteration to the appliance, including flue components, use of non-Whale® spare parts/accessories and
non-observation of the installation and operation instructions will lead to cancellation of the warranty and exclusion of
liability claims and results in it becoming illegal to use the appliance.
Please note: Incorrect installation, misuse or use of non original Whale® parts may invalidate the warranty. It also
becomes illegal to use the appliance if incorrectly installed, and in some countries may make it illegal to use the
vehicle.
When operating the Space Heater using gas, the combustion air inlet flue and exhaust flue must never be
obstructed. They must be checked regularly, and if necessary cleaned by the user (e.g. in winter, snow must be
removed from the combustion outlet and air intake).
Where the open end of the exhaust flue terminates, three sides of the Underfloor Space Heater must be kept open
and not obstructed, and not contain through-floor ventilation openings.
