Ensuring a safe operating environment
• Suffocation through exhaust
gases. To ensure dissipation of exhaust
gases, operate the appliance outdoors only.
–Never use in enclosed spaces or tents or
breathe in the exhaust gases.
–If installing an awning, make sure that
the exhaust system terminates to the
outdoors.
–If you park the RV in an enclosed space,
such as a garage or repair shop:
· You must block the fuel supply.
· You must switch the appliance off at
the control panel.
• The operator is responsible for the water
filled into the appliance and its quality.
• The use of upright gas cylinders from which
gas is taken in the gas phase is mandatory for the operation of gas regulators, gas
equipment and gas systems. Gas cylinders
from which gas is taken in the liquid phase
(e. g. for forklifts) must not be used, since
they would result in damage to the gas system.
• For your own safety it is absolutely necessary to have the complete gas installation
regularly checked by an expert (at least every
2 years). The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging the gas inspection.
• Use the appliance only with a functioning LP
gas and carbon monoxide detector installed
in the RV. For installation, operation and function test follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Operating Instructions
Read and follow the “Consumer Safety Information” before operating the appliance.
Scalding injuries caused by hot water!
Water temperatures over 127ºF (52ºC) can
cause severe burns or scalding and in extreme
cases even death.
• Before using the hot water faucet or using
the shower, allow the hot water to run until
the water temperature no longer increases.
• 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 appliance works
The appliance was developed exclusively for use
in recreational vehicles (RVs).
• After some time the maximum temperature
at the faucet or in the shower is reached.
The length of time will depend on the model
(AquaGo® basic, AquaGo® comfort and
AquaGo® comfort plus) and variations in the
water plumbing (length of pipes, insulation,
circulation line, etc.).
Like in a home shower, a comfortable water
temperature at the shower head is reached
by mixing in cold water.
• When the volume flow is less than approximately 0.4 gallons/min (1.5 liter/min) and the
faucet is closed, the burner is automatically
switched off.
The AquaGo® comfort and AquaGo®
comfortplus models are equipped with a cir-
culation pump. The circulation pump as well as
the burner are switched on automatically by the
control unit in order to keep the water temperature above 102°F (39°C) in “COMFORT” mode
and 41°F (5°C) in “ECO” mode.
The appliance is connected between the vehicle’s fresh water supply and its hot water
plumbing system.
It is powered by propane and a 12 V power
supply. The ventilation grid on the access door
allows combustion air to flow into the appliance
and exhaust gas to flow out.
When the appliance is switched on, the water
will be warmed on demand:
• A volume-flow sensor in the appliance detects when the hot water faucet has been
opened and the volume flow is greater than
approximately 0.4gallons/min (1.5 liter/min).
The burner then starts automatically.
• The burner control continously adjusts the
heater output based on volume flow and
inlet water temperature, so that the temperature at the hot water outlet is approximately
120°F (49°C). A temperature stabilizer is
also installed in the appliance to minimize
fluctuations of the outlet temperature.
Risk of damage in frosty conditions.

Risk of damage in frosty conditions.
In frosty conditions there is a risk that water
in pipes, faucets and appliances could freeze.
This can cause considerable damage.
• Do not decalcify the appliance in frosty
conditions.
Decalcification frequency
Lime scale occurs especially as a result of
precipitation from “hard” water. The appliance
must be decalcified regularly depending on water hardness and hot water consumption.

The use of non original Truma AquaGo®
decalcification tablets (e.g. vinegar) for decalcification can cause chemical reactions
and produce hazardous substances that
could enter the drinking water supply.
• Do not mix Truma AquaGo® decalcification tablets with other substances to avoid
chemical reactions and production of hazardous substances.
• Only use Truma AquaGo® decalcification
tablets to decalcify the appliance to avoid:
–chemical reactions and production of
hazardous substances,
–damage to your appliance,
–and the voiding of your warranty.
–Call your local AquaGo dealer or ser-
vice provider or see www.truma.com
for more information to obtain
Truma AquaGo® decalcification tablets.
Irritation of skin and eyes in case of
contact with decalcification agent
Wear protective gloves, eye protection and
face protection to avoid contact.
An integrated water consumption meter recognizes (after hot water consumption of approx. 1585 gallons / 6000 l) that decalcification
is necessary. The assumed water hardness is
“hard” and cannot be changed. The yellow
status LED3 (Fig. 9) indicates that decalcification is necessary (goes off briefly about every
7 seconds).
• Never use the water supply in the RV during
decalcification
• In case of skin contact with the decalcification agent, immediately rinse the affected
area with plenty of water.
• In case of eye contact, hold eyelid open and
rinse with running water for 10 – 15min.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy
to do. Continue rinsing. Consult an eye
specialist.
• If you swallow the decalcification agent,
immediately rinse your mouth and drink
plenty of water in small sips. Do not vomit.
Consult a doctor.

During decalcification, you must also observe the following
• Damage to the appliance if decalcification is
interrupted.
–You must complete the decalcification
process and then rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
–Allow about 3 hours for decalcification.
The appliance works on its own for most
of this time.
• Sensitive surfaces (e. g. marble) may be
damaged through contact with the decalcification agent.
–Immediately remove splashes of decalcifi-
cation agent on these surfaces.
a) Preparing for decalcification
b) Draining the water system
Tasks outside the RV
• Remove the access door (refer to “Removing the access door” on page9).
• Switch OFF the appliance at the POWER
switch.
• Drain the water system and remove the
water inlet filter. Do do this, refer to “Draining the water and cleaning the water inlet
filter” on page15, Steps 4 to 8.
You must use the water inlet filter
for decalcification (included with the delivery
