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 .
