FITTED EQUIPMENT

SPACE HEATER

Your vehicle is fitted with a Whale Space
Heater which operates on LPG or 230V
mains electricity. The nominal heat output is
2kW on gas and 2kW on mains electricity.
When on electric mode, heat is adjustable to
low, medium or high settings with an
automatically adjusting fan speed which
minimises noise and current draw. The
design is compact and needs minimal
maintenance. The vehicle internal
temperature is set by a room controller which
can be manually adjusted to a wide range of
temperature settings, or to warm weather
ventilation.

WARNINGS

Do not operate the appliance while the
vehicle is in motion.

In the unlikely event of leaks in the
gas system, or if there is a smell of
gas:

- Extinguish all naked flames

- Do not operate any electrical

switches

- Switch off all appliances

- Open windows and doors for

ventilation

- Do not smoke

- Shut off gas connection

Get the system thoroughly checked by
a registered gas engineer at a Whale
Approved Service Centre

The space heater shall not be
operated in the following situations:

• When refuelling the vehicle

• When the vehicle in which the heater

is installed is in motion.

• When the vehicle in which the heater

is installed is in a confined space,
such as a garage

This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

Ensure that a minimum of one of the
hot air outlet vents is permanently
open. This should be the vent furthest
away from the heater.

When operating using gas, the
combustion air flue and outlet
opening for the products of
combustion (exhaust flue) shall never
be obstructed. They should be
checked regularly, and if necessary
cleaned by the user (eg in winter,
snow shall be removed from the
combustion outlet and air intake).

Where the open end of the exhaust
flue terminates, three sides of the
under-floor space are to be kept open
and not obstructed, and not contain
through floor ventilation openings.

The heater, its gas supply, and flues
for the products of combustion are to
be inspected in accordance with
national regulations or if these do not
exist, the manufacturer’s
recommendations, however, it is
advised that this should be done at
least annually.

The Whale Space Heater should be
checked periodically by a Whale
Approved Service Centre / Technician,
or competent person, at least
annually. This should be completed
according to the practice in the
country where it is used and
according to the Whale instructions.
We recommend annual testing of gas
soundness and combustion by an
accredited LPG gas engineer. The
appliance contains ESD sensitive
components and therefore should
only be opened by a Whale Approved
Service Centre / Technician.

Please note: The heater and ducts will
become hot. Please avoid anything
directly touching the heater or ducts.
