Straps are positioned to suit 6kg Calor Lite
cylinders.
WARNING: If using cylinders other than
those recommended, the user must ensure
these are adequately supported, ventilation
openings must not be obstructed and
the cylinders must not cause damage to
other fixtures and fittings located in the
compartment.
Open ended gas hoses must always be
protected from dirt and insects.
Before turning on the gas supply at the
regulator, ensure that all gas operated
equipment in the caravan is turned off.
All gas equipment (except barbecue and some
water heaters) is supplied through a central
Gas Manifold System which has individual
isolation taps for each appliance (Fig A), as
follows:

Combi / Alde boiler

Oven
Note: the external barbecue point is fed from
the main feed through a built in integrated
isolation valve. See schematic layout for details
(page 59).
NOTE: In some installations the water heater
is fitted with a separate isolation valve.

VENTILATION

All ventilation complies with BSEN 721 and
vents should not be obstructed in any manner
as this could lead to insufficient fresh air. In
this case the confined atmosphere becomes
depleted of oxygen which leads to the
formation of the highly poisonous gas 'carbon
monoxide'. Carbon Monoxide is odourless,
colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause
unconsciousness and death with little or no
warning prior to collapse.
THERE IS NO DANGER WHEN ADEQUATE
VENTILATION IS PROVIDED. KEEP SCREENS
OR GRILLS CLEAN AND FREE FROM DUST
Roof-mounted Flue installations
All flue installations should be inspected
once a year throughout their length for
corrosion. Flues should be replaced if any
sign of perforation is found. Ensure that the
replacement is of an approved type.
Thermal insulation heating
Your caravan has been designed and
manufactured to a grade 3 thermal insulation
and heating level for specific climatic
conditions and tested according to the
ON
procedure in EN1645-1.
The classifications are as follows:
Grade 1
OFF
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m2k).
Grade 2
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m2k) and which can achieve an average
temperature difference of at least 20k between
inside and outside temperatures when the
outside temperature is 0°C.
Grade 3
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.2w/(m2k) and which can achieve an average
temperature difference of at least 35k between
inside and outside temperatures when the
outside temperature is -15°C.
