General information
WARNINGS
Do not operate the programmable
fuel fired heater at filling stations,
near sources of combustible vapours
or dust or in enclosed spaces.
Do not refuel when the
programmable fuel fired heater
display is on.
Note: The programmable fuel fired heater
will switch off automatically when the
battery voltage is low.
Note: All symbols on the display will flash
if the power to the programmable fuel fired
heater has been interrupted. The heater will
not operate under these circumstances.
Re-set the clock time.
Note: The programmable fuel fired heater
will shut down in the event of a malfunction.
Have the system checked by an expert.
Observe the following information:
• Switch the programmable fuel fired
heater on for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month, all year round.
This prevents the water pump and
heater motor from seizing.
• To avoid corrosion, make sure the
coolant in your vehicle contains at least
10 % antifreeze all year round.
• Make sure the coolant level is between
the MAX and MIN marks on the
reservoir to prevent air locks. See
Engine Coolant Check (page 110).

Climate Control
• Programmable blower operation
begins when the coolant reaches a
certain temperature. In this mode,
ambient temperature has no effect.
• In continuous heater operation, the unit
senses the ambient temperature. If this
is above 5°C (41°F) the programmable
fuel fired heater heater will not
activate.
The programmable fuel fired heater
operates independently of the vehicle
heater by heating the engine s coolant
circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank.
It may also be used while the vehicle is in
motion to help the vehicle heater warm up
the interior more quickly.
It is possible that when the programmable
fuel fired heater is activated, exhaust
fumes may come from under the sides of
the vehicle. This is normal.
