TRUMA FROST VALVE - IMPORTANT
NOW THAT WE ARE STARTING TO COME INTO WINTER -
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE CORRECT STEPS BELOW
WITH YOUR TRUMA COMBI HEATER & HOT WATER
In Your Ci Motorhome you have a Truma Frost Valve - ( very clever device )
What is the correct operation of this ???
- this is like a relief valve for your water cylinder - very similar to ajax valve in house
- If the temperature drops outside to below 5 degrees the blue button will pop to prevent water freezing in tank thus preventing damage - this will mean you will have water pouring out under your motorhome
DO NOT
- Do Not Leave water pump on all the time - turn off when your not in motorhome or going to bed
- Do Not Leave Hot water turned on longer than 1 hour otherwise pressure will pop reset button .
- Do NOT try to Operate Truma with gas bottle turned off - this wiill lock truma unit and go into error code - ( not covered under warranty )
- Do Not Run out of gas while heater or hot water system is turned on as it will lock the Truma system and go into error code ( not covered under warranty )
- If your motorhome is equipped with a window switch make sure window is completely closed otherwise heater or hot water will not work
TO RESET FROST VALVE
- When Blue button has popped out at bottom of frost valve -
- push blue button back in
it will not reset until outside temperature has reached 7 degrees and above
( as illustrated above is correct setting )
IN COLD TEMPERATURES
If you are away in your motorhome , it can help if you turn on your hot water late at night for about half an hour , then turn it off
This will keep the temperature of cylinder warm and less likely to reset the frost valve and drop the water .
