The circulation fan is automatically switched on when the hot-air heater
is activated, and it stays on. This puts an immense strain on the living
area battery, if the vehicle is not connected to an external 230 V power
supply. Take into consideration that the living area battery only has lim-
ited reserves of energy.
Never use the production of hot water without water inside it.
When the production of hot water of the heater is not used, empty the
domestic water container if there is a risk of frost.
Only operate the production of hot water with the maximum temperature
setting if you require a large quantity of warm water. This protects the
appliance against the build-up of limescale.
Do not use the water heated by the heater as drinking water.
Operate the heater a few minutes under full load at regular intervals (at
least every 3 months) to remove condensation. This prevents odours.
When lighting the heater for the first time a small amount of smoke and
odour will occur. Immediately set the operating switch of the heater to its
highest position. Open doors and windows and ventilate well. Smoke and
odour will disappear by themselves after a while.
Models with waste gas vent on the right-hand side of the
vehicle
If the awning is put up and the heater is running in gas operation, ex-
haust gases from the heater can escape into the awning area. Danger
of suffocation! Make sure the area is sufficiently ventilated.

Safety switch
In vehicles where the waste gas vent for the heater is positioned underneath
a hinged window, there is a danger that exhaust gases could get into the
vehicle if the hinged window is open. For this reason these vehicles have a
safety switch (Fig. 106,1) fitted on the hinged window.
If the hinged window is opened while the heater is in operation, automatic
shutoff stops the operation of the heater. This also applies if the hinged win-
dow is opened in the "continuous ventilation" position.
If the heater was in operation when the hinged window was opened, it will
automatically restart when the hinged window is closed.
