Safety behavior and practices
Ensuring a safe operating environment
• Danger of suffocation! To ensure dis-
sipation of exhaust gases, operate the Combi furnace outdoors only.
– Never use in enclosed spaces or tents or
breathe in the exhaust gases.
– If installing an airtight awning, make sure
that the exhaust system terminates to the outdoors.
– If the RV is parked in an enclosed space:
– Block the flow of fuel to the Combi
furnace. – Deactivate the time switch. – Switch off the Combi furnace at the con-
trol panel. – Ensure that the Combi furnace cannot be
switched on through the Truma App un-
der any circumstances.
• Use the Combi furnace only with a func­tional LP gas and carbon monoxide detector installed in the RV. For installation, operation and function test follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
• In order to avoid overheating of the Combi furnace, keep the air inlets of the Combi furnace (Fig.2 – 11), the air openings to the area in which the Combifurnace is installed (Fig.1 – D) and the spacing around the Combi furnace free of obstruction.
• To ensure clean combustion, keep the wall cowl free of obstruction. Do not lean any ob­jects against the wall cowl (Fig.1 – F).
• Danger of hot surfaces. The temperature of the exhaust gases can reach 320°F (160°C). Do not touch the area around the wall cowl and do not lean any objects against the wall cowl or the RV.
Responsibilities of the operator
• The operator is responsible for the water filled into the Combi water container and its quality.
• The operator is responsible for protecting the Combi furnace against freezing.
Safe operation
• Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or any mixtures containing more than 10% of butane must not be used.
– LPG tanks must be filled by a qualified gas
supplier only.
• Danger of damage to the gas system! For the operation of gas pressure regulation sys­tems, gas-burning devices or gas systems only gas cylinders that supply gas in the gaseous phase may be used. Gas cylinders which supply gas in the liquid phase are prohibited.
• Ensure that the interior of the RV is suf­ficiently vented. The Combi furnace might briefly emit smoke and an odor because of dust or dirt when it is switched on, especially if it has not been used in a long time.
– For using the Combi furnace in hot water
mode (140°F (60°C)), let it heat up several times.

• Hot air can be dangerous, especially for in­fants, children, the elderly, or infirm. It can cause burns:
– Ventilation air can reach 250°F (121°C) at
the warm air outlets. Always check the air temperature before varying the air throttle position (Fig.1 – H).
• Hot water can be dangerous, especially for infants, children, the elderly, or infirm. It can cause severe burns:
– Never actuate the pressure relief/drain
valve (Fig.1 – E) as long as the Combi fur­nace is under water pressure and/or still hot.
– Always check the water temperature be-
fore entering a shower or bath.
Safe handling of malfunctions
• Switch OFF the gas supply and the Combi furnace if anything seems to be out of the ordinary.
• Danger of fire or explosion when attempting to use a flood-damaged Combi furnace or if the RV has been involved in an accident! A qualified service technician must inspect the furnace. In the case of moisture damage, the qualified service technician must replace damaged gas controls, control system parts and/or electrical parts, or provide a new furnace.
• Only a qualified service technician may per­form repairs.
• How long before hot water causes skin damage?

” before operating the Combi
Danger of faulty operation!
ConsumerSafety
Low-voltage shut down
If the voltage drops below 10VDC, the gas sup­ply is switched off.
Overcurrent protection
If there is a short curcuit in the Combi furnace (>10 A), a fuse on the control unit is activated and the Combi furnace is switched off.
Monitoring of hot water temperature
A water over temperature switch avoids exces­sively high water temperatures.
Monitoring of hot air temperature
An air over temperature switch avoids exces­sively high air temperatures.
Scalding injuries caused by hot water!
Water temperatures over 127ºF (52ºC) can cause severe burns or scalding and in extreme cases even death.
Water in the hot water container can become as hot as 162°F (72°C) during operation. If there is a malfunction, the water can reach 205°F (96°C).
• Always use potable water to fill the hot water container. The person operating the furnace is responsible for the quality of this water.
• Before using a hot water faucet or using the shower, allow the hot water to run until the water temperature no longer increases and mix with cold water.
• Test the temperature of the water before placing a child in the bath or shower.
• Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.
How the Combi furnace works
The Combi furnace was developed exclusively for use in recreational vehicles (RVs). The Combi is a furnace with a supplementary, indirect hot water generator.
All Combi models are powered by propane and a 12V power supply.
The Combi eco plus and Combi comfort plus models are also powered by electrical heating elements for operation at a supply voltage of 120 VAC.
8
Page 9
Room air is drawn into the furnace by a fan, heated up and conveyed via flexible ducts to the RV’s interior.
The Combi furnace with supplementary water heating is installed between the RV’s fresh wa­ter supply line and its hot water system.
The water pressure on the inlet side must be limited to 40.6psi (2.8bar). If necessary, install a Truma water pressure regulator (Fig. 1 – K).
Selectable modes of power input
The CPplus control panel is used to select vari­ous modes of energy for the Combi eco plus and Combi comfort plus models.
No Combi furnace operates in any mode with­out a 12VDC power supply.
1. LP gas for gas mode
All Combi furnaces run on LP gas (propane).
A comfortable water temperature at the shower head is reached by mixing in cold water.
A wall cowl allows combustion air to flow into the furnace and exhaust gas to flow out. The wall cowl and the furnace are connected by a tube in the tube exhaust venting system: an ex­haust tube inside and a combustion air intake tube outside.
Damage to the Combi furnace caused by freezing! The Combi furnace does not have a frost-protection function. If the heating is not used and there is a risk of freezing, all water must be drained from the water container (refer to “Draining the water container” on page13).
Selectable modes of operation
The CPplus control panel (Fig. 1 – B) is used to switch between modes of operation (refer to the CP plus manual for additional instructions).
2. Electricity for electric mode
The Combi eco plus and Combi comfort plus furnaces can be powered by electricity if the RV is connected to a mains power supply or a generator.
Only a 120V sine-wave-generator
may be used to avoid damage to the Combi.
3. LP gas and electricity (mixed mode)
The Combi eco plus and Combi comfort plus furnaces run simultaneously on LP gas (pro­pane) and electricity. Mixed mode is available in heating mode only.
Switch for gas shut-off valve
The switch (Fig. 4) shuts off the power to the safety gas shut-off valve and with this the gas supply to the Combi furnace. To make sure that the gas supply to the furnace is off, turn the switch to the OFF position.
1. Heating mode
The furnace automatically selects the proper operating level based on the difference between the desired temperature set at the control panel and the current room temperature. If there is any water in the water container, it will be heat­ed automatically. The water temperature will not be regulated, but it will reach a maximum of 162°F (72°C).
2. Hot water mode
(only if water container contains water) Hot water mode is ideal if only hot water is re­quired. The lowest burner setting suffices for heating water. In hot water mode, the burner will switch off as soon as the water reaches the tem­perature selected in the CPplus control panel.
Both modes of operation can be combined.

Risk of scalding injury from hot water and/or tampering with the pressure relief/ drain valve!
• Never actuate the pressure relief/drain valve as long as the Combi furnace is still hot.
• Do not place a plug or reducing coupling on the outlet part of the valve. If you use a discharge line, allow the valve and the line to drain completely.
– The Truma pressure relief/drain valve pro-
vides both the pressure relief function and a drain function.
– The pressure relief/drain valve is a safety
component and must not be removed for any reason other than replacement.
– The pressure relief/drain valve is not ser-
viceable; if defective, it must be replaced. It must be replaced by a certified service technician.
– It must be replaced by a pressure relief/
drain valve rated for
65.25 psi (4.5 bar) CSA-certified and registered.
– Tampering with the pressure relief/drain
valve will void the warranty.

Starting the Combi furnace
Danger of over-temperature and toxic ex­haust gases!
• Use with LP gas (propane) only. Butane or any mixtures containing more than 10% of butane must not be used.
• Keep the air inlet and exhaust gas outlet free of obstructions. Do not lean any ob­jects against the wall cowl on the RV or place any objects within a range of 2 feet (61 cm) of the wall cowl.
Danger of combustion and damage to persons and the RV!
• Keep the area around the Combi furnace free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.
• Switch the gas supply and the Combi fur­nace off
– if anything seems to be out of the ordinary. – if you smell gas. – if you move the RV. – before entering a gas station. – before entering a tunnel. – before entering a ferry boat.
:
• The warm air outlets (Fig. 1 – H), the wall outlet vents (Fig. 1 – I) and the openings for the circulated air intake (Fig. 1 – D and Fig.2– 11) must be free from obstructions to ensure that the furnace functions properly. Any obstructions might cause the furnace to overheat. If this happens, the built-in tem­perature limiter will interrupt the flow of gas to the furnace. Once the furnace has cooled, it will switch on again automatically.
• Access to adequate quantities of LPgas (fuel inlet pressure 11–13in. wc (27.4–32.4mbar)) and 12V power must be available.
The Combi eco plus and Combi comfort plus models
• Make sure that the supply voltage’s fuse protection of the campground suffices for operating the furnace in electric mode. The furnace needs up to 1,700W (14.2A) in op­erating mode2. If the supply voltage’s fuse protection is not sufficient, the furnace can be operated in operating mode1 with up to 850W (7.1A).
Danger of damage to the power cord due to overheating! If you use an exten­sion cord on a cable drum to connect the RV to the campground power system, make sure the cord is fully extended.
Inspections before each use
Check the Combi furnace for the following points before each use. In case of damage, con­tact an authorized Truma service provider and do not operate the Combi furnace.
• Inspect the furnace (Fig. 1 – A), exhaust venting system (Fig.1 – F), and wall cowl (Fig.1 – F) for damage. Verify that connec­tions are tight and fasteners are secure.
• The wall cowl (Fig. 1 – F) for drawing in com­bustion air and emitting exhaust must be free from obstructions such as slush, ice or leaves. The furnace will not function properly if the combustion-air inlet or exhaust tube is partially or completely obstructed.
Filling the water container
Damage to the water container! If you want to connect your system to city wa­ter, make sure that a suitable pressure reducer is installed (Fig.1–K). The water container must not be filled with a pressure exceeding
40.6psi (2.8bar).
1. Close the pressure relief/drain valve, if open
(refer to “Closing the Truma pressure relief/ drain valve” on page 10).
2. Close open bypass lines, if present.
3. Turn on the fresh water supply or switch on
the water pump.
4. Fill the plumbing system:
– Open all water-release points, e.g. cold and
hot water faucets, showers, toilets.
– Once water flows, the plumbing system is
ventilated and filled. Close all water-release points.

Maintenance and service
Repairs must be performed by a qualified ser­vice technician. Truma recommends that the Combi furnace be inspected annually by a quali­fied service technician.
Danger of electrical shock, fire, scalding and/or explosion hazard!
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly and improper servicing could result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to the Combi furnace.
Decalcifying and cleaning the water container
Truma recommends decalcifying and cleaning the water container at least twice a year for hygienic reasons. Only use spe­cialized and suitable products. Do not use chlorine-based products. Read and follow the instructions of the decalcifying agent’s manufacturer.
1. For decalcifying the water container, fill the water container with citric acid and let it work for some time.
2. Fill citric acid into the fresh water supply and dilute it with fresh water according to the supplier’s specification.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
• Turn off the LP gas supply at the tank.
• Allow the Combi furnace to cool.
• Never actuate the pressure relief valve as long as the Combi furnace is under water pressure and/or still warm.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
Danger of injuries due to sharp edges!
• Always wear protective gloves to avoid injuries from sharp edges during mainte­nance work.
There are no serviceable parts inside.
3. Add more than 2.64gallons (10liters) of wa­ter to fill up the water container of the Combi furnace.
4. Drain the mixture of citric acid and water from the water container (refer to “Drain­ing the water container” on page13) and flush it with fresh water (refer to “Filling the water container” on page11).
In order to avoid growth of micro-organ­isms, regularly heat the water in the boiler to 158 °F (70 °C) as follows:
– Select energy mode “LP gas” on CPplus
control panel.
– Select the hot water level “boost” on
CPplus control panel.
– When the water temperature is reached
(the display does not flash anymore), leave the heating switched on for another 30minutes without withdrawing water from the system. The residual heat in the device will heat the water to up to 158°F (70°C).
In case of a defect please contact the Truma Service Center at 1-855-558-7862 or one of our authorized service partners to replace the complete furnace.
For details see www.truma.net.

Truma pressure relief/drain valve
Risk of scalding injury from hot water and/or tampering with the pressure relief/ drain valve!
• Never actuate the lever as long as the Combi furnace is under water pressure and/or still hot.
• Do not place a plug or reducing coupling on the outlet part of the valve. If you use a discharge line, allow the valve and the line to drain completely.
– The Truma pressure relief/drain valve pro-
vides both the pressure relief function and a drain function.
– The pressure relief/drain valve is a safety
component and must not be removed for any reason other than replacement.
– The pressure relief/drain valve is not ser-
viceable; if defective, it must be replaced. It must be replaced by a certified service technician.
– It must be replaced by a pressure relief/
drain valve rated for 65.25 psi (4.5 bar) CSA-certified and registered.
– Tampering with the pressure relief/drain
valve will void the warranty.

Replacing the 12-volt fuse
Only a qualified service technician may perform this task.
The fuse is on the printed circuit board under­neath the connection cover.
• While detaching or reattaching the connec­tion cover (Fig. 8 – 5), take care to neither dislodge nor pinch the connector cables.
• A defective fuse must be replaced with the same make and model of fuse.

• Operate the valve manually at least once per year to ensure that water channels are clear.
• Before lifting the lever (Fig.7–2), make sure that the discharge line is securely attached and properly installed, to prevent injury and property damage.
• If no water flows when the lever is operated, check the water supply.
– The water pump must be turned on or the
RV must be connected to city water.
• The pressure relief/drain valve should be in­spected every three years by a qualified ser­vice technician and be replaced if necessary.

Troubleshooting
Faults occurring during operation of the Combi furnace are displayed as an error code on the CP plus control panel (refer to the Troubleshooting section in the CP plus manual for additional instructions). The potential cause as well as a solution is described according to the error code in the CP plus manual.
The potential causes for problems with the water system and the Combi furnace are described below:
Problem Potential cause Solution
Water heats up too slowly. Lime scale (hard water calcifi-
cation) in the water container.
Water drains. / The hot water container cannot be refilled.
The water container cannot be emptied even though the pressure relief/drain valve is open.
Water is dripping / flowing from the drainage socket of the pressure relief/drain valve.
The pressure relief/drain valve is open.
The drainage socket of the pressure relief/drain valve is obstructed.
Water pressure in the water system is too high.
Decalcify the water container (refer to “Decalcifying and cleaning the water container” on page16).
Close the pressure relief/drain valve.
Remove any obstructions such as slush, ice, or leaves from the open­ing of the drainage socket. Make sure that the faucets are opened in the position “hot”.
Check the pump pressure (a maxi­mum of 40.6 psi (2.8 bar)). Adjust the pump pressure if necessary. Re­place the water pump if an adjust­ment is not possible.
If you want to connect your system to city water, make sure that a water pressure regulator is installed to avoid filling the water container with a pres­sure exceeding 40.6 psi (2.8 bar).
Water is slowly dripping from the drainage socket of the valve.
Water escaping at pressure relief/drain valve.
If none of the measures in the troubleshooting chart proves successful, please contact your dealer, the Truma Service Center at 1-855-558-7862 or one of our authorized service partners.

pressure relief/drain
The pressure inside the water container rises above a water pressure of approx. 65,25psi (4.5 bar) – Truma pressure re­lief/drain valve installed.
Water pressure in the water system is too high.
Lime or dirt under the pres­sure relief/drain valve seat.
The Truma pressure relief/drain valve protects the water container against a pressure greater than 65,25psi (4.5 bar). This is not a fault.
Install a water pressure regulator at the fresh water supply. This must be performed only by a qualified ser­vice technician.
Rinse the pressure relief/drain valve to remove contamination from the valve seat (refer to “Draining the water container” on page13).
Replace the pressure relief/drain valve. This must be performed only by a qualified service technician.
