Truma electric water heater

The intended use can be found in the respective operating instructions for the appliance. In principle, our appliances are approved for installation in caravans (vehicle class O) and mobile homes (vehicle class M1).  If vehicle class O is available for the mobile home and the installations comply with the applicable standards (e.g. gas installation in accordance with DIN EN 1949), a Truma appliance can be installed. Usually, mobile homes do not have road approval, so new installations of our units are not permitted.

The Boiler electric should be sterilised and descaled regularly. All cleaning products from camping specialists are suitable for cleaning, sterilisation and care. Commercial descaling products, vinegar essence or citric acid can be used to descale the Boiler. Fill the water container with cleaning or descaling products in the correct mixing ratio via the water inlet and allow them to work. Then rinse the water container thoroughly with clean water. To prevent colonisation by microorganisms, the Boiler must be heated up to 70 °C at regular distances. 

If the caravan is not being used during the frost period, the Truma electric boiler must be drained.

To prevent frost damage:

• Disconnect the power to the water pump (main switch or pump switch).
• Open hot water taps in the bathroom and kitchen.
• Open drain valve: lever vertical.
• The Truma electric boiler will now be drained directly to the outside via the drain valve.
• Check whether all the water is drained (14 litres).

Remember that we do not accept warranty claims for frost damage.
