Truma Combination Boiler

The Truma Combination Boiler has been designed to run on gas or electric power and the optimum performance is obtained when used in dual fuel mode, that is running on

gas and electric at the same time.

Running in dual fuel mode has the following beneﬁts:

• Fastest possible heat up time, the 2KW gas burner combines with a 1.8KW electric element to provide 3.8KW of energy to heat your hot water and warm your caravan.

• The intelligent heat management system automatically senses when the water and room are nearing the required temperature and then automatically turns off your gas burner and operates solely electric power, conserving your gas.

• As hot water is used or the room cools the Truma combination heater will continue to operate on electric only until a point where the demands necessitate that additional gas power is required. An example for such a demand could be for instance if the exterior door was left open and the room temperature dropped by 10 degrees in the space of a few minutes, in this case the intelligent heat management system would decide that the best way to get the room back to the required temperature would be to use both gas and electric at the same time.

Operating the Truma Combination system on electric or gas only will result in longer heat up times for hot water and the room temperature n comparison to operating on dual fuel.

Operating on electric only may not in all cases maintain a comfortable room temperature especially in colder conditions.

Function description

The liquid gas heater ‘Truma Combi’ is a warm-air heater with integrated hot water boiler (10 litre volume). The burner operates fan-supported, which ensures trouble-free function even when on the move.

In winter operation the heater can be used to heat the room and simultaneously warm water. If only warm water is required, select summer operation.

• In summer operation, the water contents are heated in the smallest burner stage. Once the water temperature is reached, the burner switches off.

• In winter operation, the unit automatically selects the required power setting according to the temperature difference between the temperature set on the control panel and the current room temperature. When the boiler is ﬁlled, the water is automatically heated as well. The water temperature depends on the selected operational mode and the heater output.

At a temperature of approximately 3° C at the automatic FrostControl safety/drain valve, the valve will open and drain the boiler.

The unit is not suitable for use as a ﬂow heater.

Safety instructions

If the gas system is leaking or if there is a smell of gas:

• extinguish all open ﬂames

• open windows and door

• close all quick-acting valves and gas cylinders

• do not smoke

• do not activate any electric switches

• ask an expert to inspect the entire system!

Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!

Any modiﬁcations to the unit, including accessories, exhaust duct, and cowl, or the use of spare parts and accessories that are important to the operation of the system

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

that are not original Truma parts and failure to follow the installation and operating instructions will cancel the warranty and indemnify Truma from any liability claims. It also becomes illegal to use the appliance, and in some countries this even makes it illegal to use the vehicle.

The gas supply’s operating pressure (30 mbar) must be the same as the unit’s operating pressure (see type plate).

The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging the inspection.

Liquid gas equipment may not be used when refueling, in multi-storey car parks, in garages, or on ferries.

During the initial operation of a brand new appliance (or after it has not been used for some time), a slight amount of fumes and smell may be noticed for a short while. It is a good idea to heat the device up several times in summer operation (60° C) and to make sure that the area is well ventilated.

Heat-sensitive objects such as spray cans or ﬂammable liquids may not be stored in the same compartment where the heater is installed because, under certain conditions, this area may be subject to elevated temperatures.

Only pressure regulating equipment that complies with EN 12864 (in vehicles) with ﬁxed output pressure of 30 mbar may be used for the gas system. The ﬂow rate of the pressure control device must correspond to at least the maximum consumption of all devices installed by the system manufacturer.

For vehicles, we recommend Truma’s SecuMotion gas pressure regulator; for the two-cylinder gas system we also recommend the Truma DuoComfort changeover valve.

At temperatures below 5° C, the gas pressure regulator or the changeover valve should be used with EisEx regulator heating.

Controller connecting hoses that meet national regulations must always be used in the respective country for which the equipment is destined. These hoses must be checked regularly for brittleness. Winter-proof special

hoses must always be used if the equipment is operated during the winter.

Pressure regulating equipment and hoses must be replaced with new ones no more than 10 years after the date of manufacture (every 8 years if used commercially). This is the responsibility of the operator.

Do not use the boiler water as drinking water!

Important operating notes

If the cowl has been placed near or directly beneath an opening window, the device must be equipped with an automatic shut-off device in order to prevent operation with the window open.

The integrity and tight ﬁt of the exhaust gas double duct must be checked regularly, particularly at the end of long trips. Also check the mounting of the appliance and the cowl. Following a blow-back (misﬁre) always have the exhaust gas system checked by an expert!

Always keep the cowl for the exhaust duct and combustion air intake free of contamination (slush, ice, leaves etc.). The warm air outlets and the openings for circulation air return must be unobstructed so the unit will not overheat. The integrated temperature limiter blocks the gas supply when the unit becomes too hot.

! WARNING: Care should be taken

to ensure adequate ventilation of the ﬂue at all times. It is inadvisable to inhale exhaust fumes.

Directive 2004/78/EC stipulates that a safety shut-off device is required if motor homes are being heated while driving.

The Truma SecuMotion gas pressure regulator meets this requirement.

Note: If the Truma SecuMotion gas pressure regulator is not installed, the gas cylinder must be closed while driving and warning signs must be in place in the gas cylinder protection box and near the control panel.

The safety shut-off device is also recommended for safety reasons if motorhomes are being heated while driving.

Standard Operating Instructions

Always observe the operating instructions and ‘Important operating notes’ prior to starting! The vehicle owner is responsible for the correct operation of the appliance.

The installer or vehicle owner must apply the yellow sticker with the warning information, which is enclosed with the appliance, to a place in the vehicle where it is clearly visible to all users (e.g. on the wardrobe door)! Ask Truma to send you stickers, if necessary.

Before using for the ﬁrst time, it is essential to ﬂush the entire water supply through with clean warm water. If the heater is not being used, always drain the water contents if there is a risk of frost. There shall be no claims under guarantee for damage caused by frost!

Winter operation

Heating with water temperature monitoring

Set the rotary switch to the operational setting ‘e’. Set the rotary switch (a) to the desired thermostat setting (1 – 5). The green LED (b) for operation is lit and simultaneously indicates the position of the selected room temperature. The yellow LED (g) indicates the water’s heatup phase.

The unit automatically selects the required power level according to the temperature difference between the setting on the control panel and the current room temperature. Once the room temperature set on the control panel has been reached, the burner switches back to the lowest stage, and heats the water content to 60° C. The yellow LED (g) will be extinguished after the water temperature is reached.

Heating without water temperature monitoring

Set the rotary switch to the operational setting ‘d’. Turn the rotary switch (a) to the desired thermostat setting (1 – 5). The green LED (b) for operation is lit and simultaneously indicates the position of the selected room temperature. The yellow LED (g – water’s heat-up phase) will be lit only when the water temperature is below 5° C!

The unit automatically selects the required power level according to the temperature difference between the setting on the control panel and the current room temperature.

After reaching the room temperature set on the control panel, the burner will switch off. The warm-air fan will continue to run at a low speed as long as the blow-out temperature (on the unit) is higher than 40° C.

If the boiler is ﬁlled, the water will automatically be heated at the same time. The water temperature is then dependent on the heating output being given off, and the duration of heating required to reach the desired room temperature.

Heating with drained water system

Set the rotary switch to the operational setting ‘d’. Turn the rotary switch (a) to the desired thermostat setting (1 – 5). The green LED (b) for operation is lit and simultaneously indicates the position of the selected room temperature. The yellow LED (g) will be lit only when the temperature of the unit is below 5° C!

The unit automatically selects the required power level according to the temperature difference between the setting on the control panel and the current room temperature. After reaching the room temperature set on the control panel, the burner will switch off.

Switching off

Use the rotary switch to switch off heater (position f). The green LED (b) goes off.

If the green LED (b) blinks after switching off, then the unit’s after-running is active in order to reduce the unit’s temperature. This will end after a few minutes and the green LED (b) will go off.

! WARNING: Always drain water contents

if there is a risk of frost!

If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period, close the quick-acting valve in the gas supply line and turn off the gas cylinder.

Red LED ‘Failure’

The red LED (h) will be lit if there is a failure.

Please consult the Trouble-Shooting list for possible causes.

Reset (failure reset) the unit by switching it off and back on.

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

Filling the water heater

Check if the rotary switch for the drain valve (FrostControl) is set to ‘Operation’, meaning that it is parallel to the water connection and engaged.

When the temperature at FrostControl is below about 7° C, ﬁrst switch on the heater to warm the installation compartment and FrostControl. After several minutes, when the temperature at FrostControl is above 7° C, the drain valve can be closed.

Close the drain valve by pushing the push button until it engages. Switch on power for water pump (main switch or pump switch).

Open hot water taps in kitchen and bathroom, (set preselecting mixing taps or single-lever ﬁttings to ‘hot’). Leave the ﬁttings open for as long as it takes for the boiler to displace the air and ﬁll up, and the water to ﬂow without interruption.

If just the cold water system is being operated, without using the water heater, the heater tank also ﬁlls up with water. To avoid frost damage, the boiler must be drained through the drain valve, even if it was not operated. As an alternative, two shutoff valves, resistant to hot water, can be ﬁtted in front of the cold and hot water connection.

When connecting to a central water supply (rural or city mains), a pressure reduction valve must always be installed to prevent pressures above 2.8 bar from developing in the water heater.

Draining the water heater

Switch off power to water pump (main or pump switch).

Open hot water taps in kitchen and bathroom.

Turn the yellow boiler drain valve to the up position to dump the water.

The boiler is now drained directly to the outside via the drain valve. Place a bucket beneath the outlet to check whether the water content has completely drained away (10 litres). There shall be no claims under guarantee for damage caused by frost!

Maintenance

Only original Truma parts may be used for maintenance and repair work!

The water container used is made of stainless steel, which is foodstuff-compatible.

Use wine vinegar for descaling the water heater, this being introduced into the appliance via the water supply. Allow the product to react and then thoroughly ﬂush out the appliance with plenty of fresh water. For sterilization purposes we recommend ‘Certisil-Argento’; other products (especially those containing chlorine) are unsuitable and may damage the unit.

To avoid microorganisms colonizing the water in the boiler, heat the water to 70° C at regular intervals (at least once per year).

Move the rotary switch on the control panel to position (c – summer operation) 60° C. The green (b) and yellow (g) LEDs light up.

Once the water in the boiler has reached a temperature of 60° C, the burner will switch off and the yellow LED (g) will go out. The unit must stay switched on for at least 30 minutes and no warm water may be removed. The residual heat in the heat exchanger will heat the water up to 70° C.

Fuses

The unit’s fuse is located on the electronics under the connection cover. Replace the unit’s fuse only with an identical fuse.

Device fuse: 10 A – slow – (T 10 A)

Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting a fault please refer to page 9 of the Truma Combi 4E Operator Manual.

Truma Heating System and Air Flow

The Swift Group undertakes considerable testing of our products in cold chambers to ensure they are usable in cold temperatures. During this testing, the air ﬂow on the blown air outlets is deﬁned and set by us. In some cases, customers may wish to alter this setup to achieve a different heating pattern (i.e. more hot air to the rear of the vehicle or vice-versa) and this can be achieved by placing restrictors in the blown air system.

Customers should seek the advice of Truma or their Dealer on how to do this.

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

Note: Refrigerators manufactured by Dometic GmbH are free of CFC/HCFC and HFC. Ammonia (a natural compound of hydrogen and nitrogen) is used in the cooling unit as a coolant. Non-ozonehazardous cyclopentane is used as a propellant for manufacturing PU foam insulation.

In order to ensure that the recyclable packaging materials are re-used, they should be sent to the customary local collection system.

The appliance should be transferred to a suitable waste disposal company that will ensure re-use of the recyclable components and proper disposal of the rest. For ecofriendly draining of the coolant from all absorber refrigeration units, a suitable disposal plant should be used.

Energy-saving tips

• At an average ambient temperature of 25°C, it is sufﬁcient to operate the refrigerator at middle thermostat setting.

• Where possible, always store precooled products.

• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunlight.

• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit is not obstructed.

• Defrosting at regular intervals saves energy (see “Defrosting”). Open the refrigerator door only for a short period of time when removing products.

• Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours before ﬁlling it.

Refrigerator operation

The refrigerator is equipped to operate on three power modes:

• Mains voltage (230V AC)

• Direct-current voltage (12V DC)

• Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)

Select the desired power mode by the energy selector switch (battery igniter type models) or the MODE button (MES, AES). Appliances with automatic energy selection (AES) are additionally provided with “automatic mode” function. The AES system automatically selects the best energy source for each particular situation.

Cleaning

Before starting up the refrigerator, it is recommended that you clean it inside and repeat this at regular intervals.

Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Then wipe out the appliance with clean water and dry thoroughly.

To avoid material alterations, do not use soap or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning agents.

Do not allow the door seal to come into contact with oil or grease.

Maintenance

• In compliance with the applicable regulations, please note that the gas unit and the connected ventilation ducts must be checked by authorised technical personnel after ﬁrst use and after every other year for compliance with the European Standard EN

1949. A test certiﬁcate has to be issued. It is the user’s responsibility to arrange this test.

• The gas burner must be inspected and cleaned as necessary at least once a year. When using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (tank or reﬁll cylinders) the maintenance interval is reduced to half-yearly or quarterly. Keep the evidence of maintenance work carried out on your refrigerator.

• Work on gas and electrical equipment shall be carried out by qualiﬁed personnel only.

It is recommended that this is carried out by an authorised customer services department.

We recommend maintenance following an extended shutdown of the vehicle.

Note: We recommend maintenance following an extended shutdown of the vehicle. Please contact our customer services.

The cooling unit's performance is inﬂuenced by ambient temperatures. Please select the medium setting for ambient temperatures between +15°C and +25°C (refer to Setting of cooling compartment temperature). The unit operates within its optimum performance range.

Dometic refrigerators work according to the absorption principle. For physical reasons, an absorption system responds slowly to changes made by the thermostat controller, by loss of cooling energy through opening the door or during storing food. The devices meet the cooling performance requirements of the Climatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in the temperature range of +10°C to +32°C ambient temperature.

For temperatures below +10°C, winter covers should be installed. For ambient temperatures exceeding +32°C for a longer period of time, it is recommended installing Dometic additional fan (item no. 241 2985 -00 ).

Storing food and making ice cubes

Storing products in the cooling compartment

• Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours before ﬁlling it.

• Always store pre-cooled foods in the refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well cooled when it is bought and also when transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.

• Open the refrigerator door only for a short period of time when removing products.

• Products must be packed - best of all in closed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or similar - and stored separately from each other, in order to prevent drying out or odours.

• Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool down before storing.

• Avoid storing products in the refrigerator that could emit volatile ﬂammable gases.

• Do not overﬁll the storage grids and compartments to prevent obstructing the internal air circulation.

• Maintain a clearance of approx. 5 - 10 mm between chilled products and postevaporator ("cooling ﬁns").

• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunlight. Please bear in mind that the temperature inside a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to sunlight and that this can reduce the efﬁciency of the refrigerator.

• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grilles free from obstructions.

Storing products in the cooling compartment

• Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.

• The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term storage of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.

When ambient temperatures are lower than +10°C and the refrigerator is exposed to these temperatures for extended periods of time, an even regulation of freezer temperature cannot be guaranteed for system related reasons. This can cause the temperature in the freezer to rise and the stored goods to melt.

• If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service

for an extended period of time, close the onboard shut-off valve and the cylinder valve.

Defrosting

As time goes by, frost builds up on the ﬁns inside the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker on one side may occur and does not represent a malfunction. When this layer of frost is about

0.118 inches (3 mm) thick, the refrigerator

should be defrosted.

• Switch off the refrigerator, as described in section 4.17 Shutting of the refrigerator.

• Remove all food and the ice cube tray.

• Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air to enter and to prevent formation of mildew.

• After defrosting (freezer compartment

and ﬁns free of frost), wipe both cooling compartments dry with a cloth.

Note: Water thawing in the main compartment of the refrigerator runs into an appropriate container at the back of the refrigerator. From there, the water evaporates.

! WARNING: The layer of ice must never

be removed forcibly nor may defrosting be accelerated using a heat source!

Before starting your new refrigerator for the ﬁrst time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to the see ‘Cleaning and care’).

8.1 Energy saving tips

• Allow hot food to cool down ﬁrst before you put it in the refrigerator.

• Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.

• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.

• Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.

• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.

• Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.

8.2 Using the refrigerator

The fridge conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves frozen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.

Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively cooled. Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass containers.Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

Page 34

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

112

Ensure that the objects placed in the refrigerator are suitable for cooling to the selected temperature.

To switch the refrigerator on:

1. Locate the furniture mounted switch, found close to the refrigerator, and switch ON.

2. Locate the control dial within the fridge (see image below) and turn clockwise.

Note: After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 60 s until the compressor starts up.

Setting the temperature You can set the temperature to any level using the control knob. The built-in thermostat regulates the temperature as follows:

1 least cooling 7 most cooling

The cooling capacity can be inﬂuenced by:

• the ambient temperature

• the amount of food to be conserved

• the frequency with which the door is opened.

Conserving foodstuffs

You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator. The time for which the food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.

Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator.

Do not place glass containers containing liquid in the freezer compartment. Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in airtight containers.

The refrigerator is divided in different zones with different temperatures:

• The colder zones are immediately above the

drawers for fruit and vegetables, near the back wall.

• Observe the temperature information and

best before date on the food packaging.

Observe the following when using the refrigerator:

• Never re-freeze products which have started defrosting or have been defrosted, but consume them as soon as possible.

• Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling ﬁlm and shut in a suitable box with a lid. This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness will be better conserved.

Defrosting the refrigerator

The appliance has two options to remove the condensation resulting from operation:

• pass it directly outside: Remove the drip-tray (1). Connect a hose (2) to the outlet connections (3).

Spinﬂo oven

! WARNING: Before using the appliances

for the ﬁrst time, remove all accessories and packing in the grill and oven, including any surface protection ﬁlm, i.e. plastic coating. Clean all interior surfaces with hot soapy water to remove any residual protective covering of oil and rinse carefully.

! WARNING: Accessible parts may be hot

when the grill is used, young children should be kept away. When cooking always ensure young children are kept away.

Ensure the gas cylinder is turned on. In the event of a gas smell, turn off at the cylinder and contact supplier. The burners on this appliance have ﬁxed aeration and no adjustment is required. Depending on the gas being used, the burners should ﬂame as follows:

Propane: The ﬂames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow tips.

Butane: Normally on initial lighting, as small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then slightly increases as the burner heats up.

! WARNING: The control tap on this

appliance operates both the grill and oven burners. To ensure safe operation it is not possible to operate both burners at the same time.

Using the hob burners

1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier

2. Flame supervision: Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a thermocouple probe. In the event of the burner ﬂames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

3. To light: Push in the control knob and turn to full rate - see Fig.2. Hold a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob

in and hold. It is necessary to hold the knob depressed after the burner has ignited or approximately 10-15 seconds, to allow the thermocouple probe to reach temperature, before releasing the knob. Should the ﬂame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the knob depressed for slightly longer.

4. For models ﬁtted with spark ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. If the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the burner left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.

5. For simmering, turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the low rate position.

6. To turn off: Turn the control know until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have ﬁnished using the hotplate burners.

! WARNING: The two in line hob burners

on this appliance will support pans from 10cm to 20cm. The single hob burner will support pans from 10cm to 22cm.

! WARNING: Glass lids may shatter when

heated. Turn off the hotplate and allow it to cool before closing the glass lid. Remove all spillage from the surface of the glass lid before opening.

! WARNING: The use of the electric

hotplate and gas hobs will generate heat. We recommend, to avoid excess build-up of heat around the cooker area, the window is left opened when cooking to allow for additional ventilation.

Using the hotplate

Ensure the electricity is switched on.

The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6. To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required position. Position 1 is the coolest setting. To turn the hotplate off, rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on the control panel.

The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers heat through conduction. For maximum efﬁciency a correctly sized pan with a ﬂat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan size should be the same or slightly larger (up to 1”/2.5cm oversize).

Before using your hotplate for the ﬁrst time, we recommend that you prime and then season it.

To prime the Hotplate

Switch on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden and burn off the coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3 - 5 minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during this process. Allow it to cool, then season.

To season the Hotplate

First heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional seasoning will help to maintain the Hotplate’s appearance.

Using the grill

! WARNING: The grill must only be used

with the door open. The heat deﬂector below the fascia should be pulled out prior to lighting the grill. Never adjust the heat deﬂector position without using hand protection i.e. oven gloves.

1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.

2. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to full rate - see Fig 2. Hold alighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner should ignite and the control knob should be held in for 10-15 seconds before release. If the burner goes out, repeat procedure holding control knob for slightly longer.

3. For models ﬁtted with spark ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the grill left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.

4. On ﬁrst use of the grill, it should be heated for about 20 minutes to eliminate any residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the food being cooked. An non-toxic smoke may occur when using for the ﬁrst time so open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.

5. Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes pre-heat be allowed.

6. Flame Failure Device (FFD): The grill burner is ﬁtted with a ﬂame sensing probe, which will automatically cut off the gas supply in the event of the ﬂame going out. In the event of the burner ﬂames accidentally being extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

7. It is normal for the ﬂames on this burner to develop yellow tips as it heats up, particularly on Butane.

8. A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct grilling height to be achieved.

appliance is multi functional, for use either whilst grilling or when using the oven. The handle design allows removal or insertion whilst the pan is in use.vv

Using the oven

1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.

2. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to gas mark 9. Hold a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner should ignite and the control knob should be held in for 10-15 seconds before release. If the burner goes out, repeat the process holding control knob for slightly longer.

3. For models ﬁtted with spark ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the oven left for at least one minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.

4. Place the oven shelf in the required position and close the door. Set control knob to approximately gas mark 5 and heat the oven for about 30 minutes to eliminate any residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the meals being cooked. A non-toxic smoke may occur when using for the ﬁrst time so open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.

5. Although the oven does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a 10 minute pre-heat should be allowed. The oven should be up to full temperature in about 15-20 minutes.

6. To turn off: Turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on the control panel.

7. Shelf: The shelf has been designed to allow

good circulation at the rear of the oven and are also ﬁtted with a raised bar to prevent trays or dishes making contact with the back of the oven. To remove a shelf, pull forward until it stops, raise at front and remove.

Oven temperature control

The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the range 130ºC to 240ºC. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are shown in the table below. The temperatures indicated refer to the centre of the oven and at any particular setting the oven will be hotter at the top and cooler towards the base.

The variation between top and centre, and centre to bottom is approximately equivalent to one gas mark. Good use can be made of the temperature variation in several dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this way maximum beneﬁt can be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven. Care should be taken not to overload the oven, adequate spacing being used to allow free circulation for heat.

the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person (1) door broken (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

! WARNING:

d. it is hazardous for anyone other than a

competent person to carry out a service or repair operation.

! WARNING:

e. liquids or other foods must not be heated

in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

! WARNING:

f. only allow children to use the oven without

supervision when adequate instruction has been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

! WARNING:

g. when the appliance is operated in the

combination mode, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated. (if provided)

Important safety guidance

! WARNING: To prevent ﬁre, burns,

electric shock and other warnings. Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high performance from this oven:

Important instructions

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any other non food items or for sterilizing purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage, such as papers, cookbook, cookware etc.

4 Do not operate the oven without the glass

tray in place. Be sure it is sitting properly on the rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the oven surface and door. It could result in excessive leakage of microwave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking. They may contain impurities which could cause sparks and/or ﬁres when used during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn popper or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless speciﬁed by the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, etc., without ﬁrst piercing them several times with a fork.

MICROWAVE

Page 46

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

124

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the manufacturer’s directions. (Popping time is generally below 3minutes). Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn it can cause scorching and ﬁre. Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to handle or may break.

11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stiﬂe any ﬂames.

12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which has been heated in a microwave oven before you give it to somebody, especially to children or elderly people. This is important because things which have been heated in a microwave oven carry on getting hotter even though the microwave oven cooking has stopped.

15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch ﬁre when next using the oven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature and doing so may lead to overheating and ﬁre.

18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing lo be boiling due to surface tension of the Iiquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. This could result in very

hot liquid suddenly boiling over when a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a. Do not overheat the liquid.

b. Stir the Iiquid both before and halfway

through heating it.

c. Do not use straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in

the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or

other utensil into the container.

Care of the microwave

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning

2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.

3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

4. If the central panel becomes wet, clean with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.

5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.

6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

7. The roller guide and oven cavity ﬂoor should be cleaned regular/y to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry. The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.

MICROWAVE

Note: Only depress the vent button when pour out spout is pointed downwards. Rinse the holding tank with clean water. For preparing for use again, see steps 1 to 7.

Cleaning and maintenance

The lipseal and the seal of the automatic vent are made of rubber and therefore these parts need regular maintenance (depending on frequency of use, once or twice a month).

Lipseal: Remove the sliding cover. Open the valve-blade by turning the blade-opener knob anticlockwise. Clean the seal with water. Dry the seal and grease with silicone spray/oil or vegetable oil.

Seal of automatic vent: Turn the automatic vent 60° anticlockwise and remove gently. Clean the seal with water. Dry the seal and grease with silicone spray/oil or vegetable oil.

To clean the holding tank, empty the tank, and rinse with clean water. Use a mild soap to clean toilet bowl, seat and cover, as well as exterior of toilet unit and holding tank.

Note: Do not use strong household detergents or cleaners that contain chlorine, solvents or acid contents.

Wintering/storage

The Thetford Cassette C-200 CW/CWE/CS is easily winterised for storage.

Empty remaining fresh water into the bowl by activating the ﬂush handle up and down (C-200 CW) or by pressing the ﬂush button (C-200 CWE & CS).

Once pump has been cleared and water ﬂow has stopped completely, release into waste tank. Remove waste tank and empty contents in normal way.

To evacuate any remaining water from the fresh water tank. place a container underneath the drainplug and remove drainplug.

When procedure has been completed replace drainplug and waste holding tank (ﬁg. 15). Clean the seals and grease them after drying (see cleaning and maintenance).

Leave the blade of the holding tank open. Do not replace cap on the pour out spout, to ventilate the holding tank. (Also grease the seal of the pour out spout cap.)

Cold weather use

The toilet can be used in cold weather conditions provided that the toilet is in heated surroundings. If this is not the case, you can use a nontoxic antifreeze (propylene glycol) or an antifreeze such as those used in car radiators. Add the antifreeze to the water in the tank. Add the quantity speciﬁed in the instructions, paying due regard to the safety instructions.

High altitude and warm weather use

Pressure may build up in the holding tank if the tank is not inserted while driving at high altitudes or in warm weather conditions. The automatic holding tank vent will vent the tank when there is over- or under-pressure. High temperatures may require additional Thetford toilet ﬂuid.

15. Flush Water Tank Level Indicator (only for toilets with own ﬂush-water tank): When the Flush Water Tank Level Indicator lights up, reﬁll the ﬂush-water tank, as only about

1.5 litres of water is left in the tank, which is sufﬁcient for approximately 2 ﬂushes.

Emptying

The Waste Holding Tank has a capacity of 18 litres and requires emptying when the red light (LED) on the toilet control display lights up, when the Waste Holding Tank only has capacity for approximately 2 more litres, which is no more than two to three further uses. Make sure that the blade is closed. Open the

access door located outside the vehicle, pull the safety catch upwards and remove the Waste Holding Tank.

16. Place the Waste Holding Tank in an upright position (Pull-Out Handle at the top, Wheels at the bottom). Slide the handle sideways - to the front of the tank - until it snaps out of its locked position.

17. Pull the handle up and wheel the Waste Holding Tank to an authorised waste disposal point.

18. Push the handle back into its locked position. Turn the emptying spout upwards and remove the cap from the spout. Hold the Waste Holding Tank in such a way that during emptying you can operate the vent plunger with your thumb. To empty the tank without splashing, depress the vent plunger while emptying the tank. After emptying, rinse the tank and blade thoroughly with water.

! WARNING: Do not seriously shake the

tank or use high pressure water cleaners. This may cause damage to the tank’s interior.

Note: The vent plunger should only be depressed once the emptying spout is pointing downwards. Prepare the toilet for re-use if required. Slide the Waste Holding Tank into the toilet and close the access door.

Emptying with optional features

19. Waste Holding Tank Multi-Level Indicator: The lower lamp indicates that the Waste Holding Tank is almost empty; the middle lamp indicates that it is more than half full; when the upper lamp lights up, the tank needs emptying as it can only take 2 - 3 further uses.

Note: The Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator will ﬂash when the holding tank is not present. In this case the toilet will not ﬂush.

20. Waste Pump-Out System: When activating the control panel this feature automatically lights up. When the Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator illuminates, press the Waste Pump-Out button to pump out the waste from the holding tank Into the vehicle’s waste tank. The button will ﬂash while the waste is being pumped and will stop automatically (after approximately 5 minutes) when all waste has been transferred.

If the vehicle’s waste tank is full, the Waste Pump-Out light will ﬂash rapidly and no pump-out will be possible until the central tank is emptied. (Check the level of the vehicle’s waste tank on the vehicle’s central console). After the Waste Holding Tank has been emptied, there will be approximately

1.5 litres of waste left in the tank. This is normal. Add 2 litres of water and a correct dosage of Thetford toilet ﬂuids to the Waste Holding Tank.

! WARNING: It is vital that the correct

amount of toilet ﬂuid is added to ensure the proper breakdown of the waste in the holding tank. Only use the system when the tank is full. Using the system too often on an empty tank can cause damage to the pump, which could cause the system to fail.

Cleaning and maintenance

The toilet should be cleaned and maintained regularly, depending on the amount of use. To clean Thetford toilets, we advise using water and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.

Note: Never use bleach, vinegar or other powerful household cleaners that contain these substances. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components.

Toilet bowl

• Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner into the

toilet bowl.

• Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe

down the rest of the toilet with a damp cloth.

• Clean seat and lid The seat and lid can easily be removed: Lift the seat and lid assembly and pull the round pins (inside the assembly) outwards from the pin holes. After cleaning, replace the seat and lid by positioning the round pins in front of the pin holes and push the lid and seat downwards.

• To keep your ﬂush water fresh and to prevent deposits from forming in your toilet bowl, add a correct dosage of Aqua Rinse in your ﬂush water tank, if present, on your toilet.

Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.

Waste holding tank

To keep your Waste Holding Tank fresh and clean, Thetford has developed a number of different toilet ﬂuids. Thetford toilet ﬂuids suppress smells, reduce formation of gas, promote breakdown of toilet waste and increase the life span of a mobile toilet. See page 46 of the Thetford user manual for more information (=matrix). We advise a thorough cleaning of the Waste Holding Tank once each season. Next to using Thetford’s Cassette Tank Cleaner, the powerful cleaning agent for the periodical cleaning of the Waste Holding Tank of your toilet, we suggest the following:

• Remove the removable mechanism from the Waste Holding Tank by turning it anticlockwise and rinse it under a tap.

• Remove the cover plate from the Automatic Pressure Release Vent by prising it up using a small screwdriver. Use one hand to push the Automatic Pressure Release Vent open while holding the ﬂoat of the Automatic Pressure Release Vent on the inside of the tank with the other hand. Push the ﬂoat upwards, turn it 180 degrees and remove it from below. Remove the rubber seal underneath the ﬂoat. Rinse the ﬂoat and rubber seal under a tap. Replace the Pressure Release Vent using the same method in reverse.

The rubber seals in the toilet (the lip seal, the mechanism seal, the automatic pressure release vent seal and the cap seal) should be regularly cleaned with water and treated with Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant.

Page 54

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

132

This will ensure that the seals remain ﬂexible and in good condition. If the toilet is not to be used for any length of time, it is important to treat the seals with Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant after cleaning.

Note: Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil except olive oil. These may cause leakage or malfunction. The lip seal is a part of the toilet that is subject to wear. Depending upon the extent and manner of use, the seals will become less effective and will need replacing periodically.

Cleaning and maintenance for optional Features

• Automatic Ventilation: The ﬁlter of the Automatic Ventilation needs to be renewed periodically. After approximately 4 full weeks of use, the ﬁlter loses its absorption power.

• Pump-Out Waste System: To ensure optimal functionality of the Pump-Out Waste System, periodical maintenance of the tube and pump is recommended. After emptying the Waste Holding Tank completely, ﬁll it with clean water and empty it again. This will clean the pump and the hose. Do this once every 3 weeks when on holiday. This should ensure proper operation of the system.

Winter operation

You can use your Thetford Cassette Toilet as normal in cold weather as long as the toilet is situated in a heated location. If there is a risk of freezing we advise that the toilet is drained by following the instructions under ‘Storage’. For environmental reasons the use of antifreeze, such as that used in car radiators, is not recommended.

Storage

It is important that you follow the instructions below if you do not expect to use your Thetford toilet for a long (winter) period.

• Activate the Control Panel by pressing the ﬂush button. Open the blade and press the ﬂush button until water stops ﬂowing into the bowl. Close the blade. Open the access door on the outside of your caravan or camper and empty the Waste Holding Tank at an authorised waste dump. Follow the

instructions for cleaning and maintenance. To allow the Waste Holding Tank to dry, do not place the cap back on the emptying spout of the tank.

21. If the toilet has its own ﬂush-water tank, place a sufﬁciently large bowl under the drain tube to catch the remaining water from the ﬂush-water tank and remove the drain plug. When no more water exits, put the drain plug on the drain tube, put it back in its original position and close the access door. If the toilet is connected to the vehicle’s water tank, please follow your vehicle’s instructions for draining the central water system. If your toilet is optionally featured with a Waste PumpOut System, take out the Waste Holding Tank and completely clean it (see Cleaning and Maintenance). After cleaning, ﬁll it with water, put it back and empty it via the waste pump-out system. Repeat this twice.

STATUS 550 ANTENNA

Fault Finding

The following are some of the key areas we suggest you check which generally solve the most common problems encountered with the operation of the Status antenna.

Coaxial Connections

It is critical that all connections in the system are ﬁtted correctly. Using the diagrams and procedures described over the page, please check all connectors ensuring they are wired correctly. Secondly please ensure only quality plugs have been used.

Coaxial Cable

Sharp bends, kinks and hot surfaces can easily damage coaxial cable and should be avoided. Coaxial cable, if placed in close proximity to electrical cables, transformers or other pieces of electrical equipment, may pick up electrical interference causing picture quality to deteriorate, especially in poor reception areas. Excess cable should be removed and NOT coiled as this may cause picture distortion. An inspection of the routing of the cable is highly recommended to ensure all is correct.

Gain Control

In normal use the button should be rotated clockwise for maximum. In strong signal areas the ampliﬁcation may need to be reduced. To reduce ampliﬁcation rotate the button anti-clockwise until picture quality improves. The button rotates through 270 degrees from MAX to MIN.

LED light

Should the LED on the ampliﬁer not light, ﬁrstly check there is power to the unit. Secondly check the polarity is correct. Otherwise contact your dealer for further assistance.

Short Hook up - Test 1

This test isolates the wiring from the ampliﬁer through to your TV/Radio points.

Unplug the coaxial plugs from the 'TV' sockets of the ampliﬁer and using your TV ﬂy lead with convertor 1 supplied. Connect your TV to the ampliﬁer.

Please ensure the antenna dome is plugged directly into the 'ANT-IN' socket of the ampliﬁer and switch on. Tune in your TV for the strongest signal.

If the picture quality improves the fault lies with the wiring of the system between the ampliﬁer and the TV outlet socket.

Short Hook up - Test 2

This text isolates the ampliﬁer by connecting your TV direct to the antenna.

Unplug the antenna from the ampliﬁer and connect convertor 2 supplied to the plug on the cable end. Using your TV Fly lead connect the antenna directly to your TV. Tune in your for the strongest signal.

If the picture quality improves, the fault lies the Vision Plus Ampliﬁer.

Antenna Dome Coaxial Cable

Check the routing of the coaxial cable from the antenna dome to the ampliﬁer. Check to ensure there are no kinks or trapped cable or if there are loops of surplus cable which could be affecting performance.

Furniture doors

During normal travelling, vehicle vibration and ﬂexing may cause some of the furniture doors to become out of alignment. For your convenience many hinges are adjustable.

Table stowage / store in transit

Tables stored in the table storage compartment must be securely clipped into place whilst in transit.

To avoid damage care must be taken when removing tables from their stored position.

Shower

When using the shower, always ensure that the shower door is fully closed thus avoiding water spray on unprotected areas.

Trigger shower heads

• Squeeze trigger to release water. Release

trigger to top. Twist trigger up to gain permanent water ﬂow, lower to stop.

• Care should be taken as water may become

hot temporarily when switched on until it mixes and regulates.

• Small children should be supervised at all

times when using the shower.

• We recommend unfastening the trigger

shower head before travelling and storing safely to prevent it becoming detached whilst travelling.

TV inlet

Depending on speciﬁcation, the motorhome may be ﬁtted with an external co-ax connection in place of, or in addition to, connections for a roof mounted TV aerial. The external co-ax connection point will be within the mains inlet enclosure.

Co-ax connection point within the mains inlet enclosure

A short co-ax lead featuring a screw on co-ax connection will be present behind the Blue mains inlet connector. A co-ax cable will be ﬁtted and connected within the motorhome, from the back of this connection, to the primary TV position within the motorhome. At the same time, further co-ax cable or cables will be ﬁtted which route from a likely TV aerial position (i.e. within the wardrobe) to each of the TV positions within the motorhomes.

The primary TV position will feature a socket marked 12v, TV, and SAT. The co-ax from the external connection point will route to the socket output marked SAT, whilst the co-ax from the wardrobe or similar will route to the socket output marked TV. At any secondary TV positions, if present, the co-ax from the wardrobe will route to the socket output marked TV.

An external TV aerial or site TV feed can be connected to the external connection point; signals from that connection will then be available at the primary TV position within the motorhome. As the connections are of the screw-on type, it is also possible to use this co-ax to route from an externally mounted satellite dish, to a satellite receiver.
