To operate
Due to its design, the heater front casing gets hot when
the heating is on. The user is responsible for exercising due
diligence so that third parties
(especially small children)
are
not hurt.
Should there be any difficulty, please wait at least 3
minutes before re-attempting ignition; otherwise, there is
a danger of explosion.
• If the flame goes out again, it will immediately be re-ignited during
the closing time of the gas valve (approx. 30 seconds).
• If no flame is ignited, the auto ignitor will continue to click until
the control knob
j
is switched to “
0
”.
To turn off
• Turn the control knob
j
to position "
0
". The automatic ignitor is
then shut off.
• Switch off the fan (set the rotary switch to "
0
").
• If the caravan is not in use for a long period of time, close the
valve on the bottle and the shutoff valve for the heating in the
kitchen drawer (
see Chapter 9
).

doors and windows and air the caravan well. The smoke
and odours will disperse after a short while.
