How the water taps operate.
• The water will be mixed to the temperature depending on
where the mixer tap handle is positioned (Hot or cold).
Hot water supply (model-specific)
• Use the control panel to switch on the therme. The temperature
of the water is regulated by means of a thermostat via 230V
mains supply to 65° C.
• The therme will hold approx. 5 litres.
• If you have turned on the heating system, the water in the ther
-
me will also be heated by the blown air system; in self-sufficient
mode, it will be heated solely in this manner.
Instructionsfor the therme
• Use the control panel to switch off this equipment whenever
the caravan is not in use.
• Empty the therme if there is a risk of frost. Frozen water can
cause the therme to burst!
• A depressuriser must be used if the pump is connected to a
central water supply, or on stronger pumps. The pressure in the
therme may not exceed 1.2 bar. In addition, a safety valve or
runoff valve must be used in the cold water tap.
Never introduce anti-freeze or other chemicals into
the water system. This can be poisonous!
When operating during winter ensure that the fresh
water tank is sufficiently heated (insulated).
Use the control panel to check the amount of water in
the fresh water tank.

without any bubbles.This is the only way to ensure that the therme/
boiler (model-specific / optional extra) will also be filled with water.
• Turn all of the taps to „cold“ and leave them open. The cold water
pipes will be filled with water.
