! WARNING: Do not use independent
portable gas appliances inside the vehicle.
Cookers shall not be used as heaters
! WARNING: A BBQ point inlet valve, if
fitted, must only be used for the connection
of portable LPG appliances.
! WARNING: Always read individual
appliance instructions
Connection
Ensure that the gas regulator hose is correctly
connected to the gas cylinder in gas bottle
compartment and that the hose connection
is tight.
Gas bottles must be fully located, seated at
the base of the bottles and restrained by the
strap provided in the dedicated compartment
position. Straps are positioned to suit 6kg
Calor Lite cylinders.
! WARNING: If using cylinders other
than those recommended, the user must
ensure these are adequately supported,
ventilation openings must not be obstructed
and the cylinders must not cause damage
to other fixtures and fittings located in the
compartment.
Open ended gas hoses must always be
protected from dirt and insects.
Before turning on the gas supply at the
regulator, ensure that all gas operated
equipment in the caravan is turned off.
All gas equipment (except barbecue and
some water heaters) is supplied through
a central Gas Manifold System which has
individual isolation taps for each appliance
(Fig A), as follows:
Fig. A
WHITE -Combi / Alde boiler
BLUE -Fridge
GREEN - Oven
Note: the external barbecue point is
fed from the main feed through a built in
integrated isolation valve. See schematic
layout for details.
Note: In some installations the water heater
is fitted with a separate isolation valve.
Ventilation
All ventilation complies with BS EN 721 and
vents should not be obstructed in any manner
as this could lead to insufficient fresh air. In
this case the confined atmosphere becomes
depleted of oxygen which could lead to
dangerous levels of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) build
up leading to risk of asphyxiation.
The risks of carbon monoxide (CO) build
up, which is a colourless, odorless and
tasteless gas, will also be reduced with
ventilation. Carbon monoxide is produced
from incomplete combustion and should the
CO detector be activated the cause of the
incomplete combustion must be investigated
prior to reusing the appliance in question.
Flue installations
All flue installations should be inspected
once a year throughout their length for
corrosion. Flues should be replaced if any
sign of perforation is found. Ensure that the
replacement is of an approved type.
Thermal insulation heating
Your caravan has been designed and
manufactured to a grade 3 thermal insulation
and heating level for specific climatic
conditions and tested according to the
procedure in EN1645-1.
The classifications are as follows:
Grade 1
A caravan with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m2k).
