Showering with the Ultrastore Rapid GE
The Truma Ultrastore Rapid GE has 10 litre capacity. It is more
than capable of heating enough water to give out three consecutive hot showers.
When using the boiler, you should observe the following
points to achieve this:
Switch the Ultrastore on 16 minutes before required use.
–
Switch on dual power mode (gas and electricity),
–
Gas operation – 70 °C / electric operation – 1300 W
Set the mixing tap in the shower to approx. 38 °C and
–
maintain a medium flow rate (approx 2.5 l / minute) when
in the shower
Switch off the water when applying shampoo / shower gel etc.
–
Do not switch the Ultrastore off when showering
–
As long as the Ultrastore remains in operation, other people
can shower as the water is continually reheated.

Safety instructions
The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is taken in
the gas phase is mandatory for the operation of gas regula-
tors, gas equipment and gas systems. Gas cylinders from
which gas is taken in the liquid phase (e.g. for fork lifts) must
not be used, since they would result in damage to the gas
system.
In event of leaks in the gas system or if there is a smell of gas:
Items sensitive to heat (e.g. spray cans) must not be stored
in the installation area, since excess temperatures may under
circumstances be incurred there.
Only pressure control equipment that complies with EN 12864
(in vehicles) with a fixed delivery pressure of 30 mbar must 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.
extinguish all naked flames
–
do not smoke
–
switch off all appliances
–
shut off the gas cylinder
–
open the windows and doors
–
do not actuate any electrical switches
–
have the entire system checked by an expert!
–
Repairs may only be carried out by an expert.
During use, please observe the regulations of EN 60335-1:2010,
according to which this device has not been designed for use
by people (including children) who have restricted physical,
sensory or mental abilities or a lack of experience and / or
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions from that
person as to how the device is to be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the device.
To avoid risk caused by unintentional resetting of the
overtemperature sensor, the device may not be supplied
via an external switching device, such as a timer, or be connected with a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by
any kind of equipment.
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability
will be ruled out in the event of the following:
modifications to the unit (including accessories),
–
modifications to the exhaust duct and the cowl,
–
failure to use original Truma parts as replacement parts and
–
accessories,
failure to follow the installation and operating instructions.
–
It also becomes illegal to use the appliance, and in some
countries this even makes it illegal to use the vehicle.
The operating pressure for the gas supply (30 mbar) must correspond to the operating pressure of the appliance (see data
plate).
Liquid gas systems must accord with the technical and
administrative regulations of the particular country in which
they are being used (e.g. EN 1949 for vehicles). National
regulations must be respected.
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.
Always mount the cowl cap if the water heater is not being
used. Non-observance of this point can lead to the function of
the appliance being impaired through water, dirt or insects.
Before setting off on any journey, fit cowl cap with the
boiler switched off. Please ensure that it is secure and
has locked into place (risk of accident). Defective cowl caps
must not be used.
There shall be no claim under guarantee if this point is not
observed. Always remove the cowl cap prior to operating the
water heater!
If just the cold water system is being used, without water
heater, the heater tank is also filled up with water. In order
to avoid damage through frost, the water contents must be
drained by actuating the safety/drain valve, also when the
heater has not been used. As an alternative, two shut-off
valves, resistant to hot water, can be fitted in front of the cold
and hot water connection.
Drain the water heater if there is a risk of frost! There
shall be no claim under guarantee if this point is not
observed.
If connecting to a central water supply (rural or city connection) or when using more powerful pumps, a pressure reducer
must be used which prevents pressures of greater than 2.8 bar
occurring in the Ultrastore.
The testing of the gas system must be repeated every two
years by a qualified specialist and, if appropriate, confirmed
on the inspection certificate.
The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging
the inspection.
Liquid gas equipment must not be used when refuelling,
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 a slight smell may be noticed for a short while. Remedial
action here is to immediately run the heater and to ensure adequate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the flame lifts off,
it is likely that the gas pressure regulator is faulty and it is
essential to have it checked.
