Central Heating - Gas

The Truma heater works on gas or 230v mains electricity, or (briefly) both at once.
Most sites provide free electricity. The heater has a variable speed fan which distributes
warm air in the van, and makes the case of the heater less hot to the touch.
(a) Press and
turn to ignite.
Then set the
temperature
required.
1. Turn on the gas outside the vehicle.
2. Turn the left hand control knob (a) to 1or 2, and press it down as far as the stop.
3. You will hear the spark igniter clicking until the flame ignites. If there is air in the gas
supply line, it can take up to two minutes for the gas to get through and the flame to
light.
4. You should see the flame if you look down through the viewing window.
5. Keep the knob pressed for 10 seconds longer, to allow the sensor to detect the flame.
6. In the event of a fault, always wait 2 minutes for the gas to disperse before attempting to
re-ignite.
7. If the flame goes out, automatic re-ignition is attempted for about 30 seconds until the
safety valve closes.
8. If there is no flame, the automatic igniter continues to operate until the control knob (a) is
switched to "0".
9. The right hand knob controls the speed of a fan, which warms
up the room more quickly, and makes the case of the heater
less hot to the touch.
10. You can manually control the fan speed by moving the slide
switch to the left.
11. If you move the slider to the right, the fan speed will be varied automatically up to the
limit set by the position of the rotary knob. You can use this to reduce the noise from the
heater.
12. To switch the fan off, put the slider in the middle position, and turn the left knob to "O".
13. Be aware that on its highest setting, the electric heater can draw 8 amps of current from
the campsite. If used at the same time as an electric kettle or water heater, the
combined load may exceed the limit of the campsite supply (often 16 amps), and cause
it to switch off and need resetting.
