4 Product Description

The Ultraheat electric additional heater is an accessory for Truma S-heaters and operates with 230 V\~ line power. The additional heater can be operated on its own. For this purpose, three operating levels are available: 500 W, 1000 W and 2000 W. The additional heater can also be used in combination with an S-heater.

4.1 Design

The Ultraheat electric additional heater consists of a heating element (Fig. 2-4), a control unit (Fig. 2-5) and a control panel (Fig. 2-1). The heating element and the control unit are installed in the S-heater (Fig. 2-3) between the heat exchanger and the installation box. The control panel is mounted outside the S-heater in a wall or piece of furniture.

4.2 Product labelling

The appliance type and the serial number are printed on the type plate.

The type plate of the Ultraheat additional heater is located on the cover of the control unit.

4.3 Function

The heating elements of the electric additional heater heat the air in the S-heater. A fan* (Fig. 2-2) distributes the warm air in the vehicle through warm air ducts and outlets (Fig. 2-6).

The operating level can be adjusted to suit the electrical fuse on the power connection (fuse at the campsite).

The desired room temperature is adjusted using the control panel and the control unit switches the heating elements on an off automatically to reach the desired temperature.

The green LED in the control panel remains on while the temperature is being controlled.

4.4 Operation

S-heaters can be operated with gas and/or the electric additional heater. If the S-heater is operated with gas and the electric additional heater at the same time, the additional heater may switch off to prevent potential overheating.

Generally, heating operation is possible also without fan regardless of operating mode (gas or additional heater). However, in order to ensure that the warm air is distributed evenly and quickly and to lower the surface temperature of the cover, we recommend that you operate the S-heater/Ultraheat with the fan running and a warm air system at all times.

If the Ultraheat additional heater is operated with a remote sensor*, the sensor must not be placed near other heat sources (cookers, lamps, opposite warm air outlets etc.) or in locations where heat can accumulate (below shelves, in corners, behind curtains).

12 WARRANTY

Manufacturer's Warranty (European Union)

12.1 Scope of Manufacturer's Warranty

As the Manufacturer of the appliance, Truma undertakes a warranty towards the Consumer that covers any material and/or manufacturing defects of the appliance.

This Warranty is applicable in EU member states as well as in Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. A Consumer is the natural person who was the first one to purchase the appliance from the Manufacturer, OEM or dealer and who neither resold the appliance in a commercial or self-employed professional capacity nor installed it for a third party in such a capacity.

The Manufacturer's Warranty covers any of the aforementioned defects that occur within 24 months upon concluding the purchase agreement between the seller and the Consumer. The Manufacturer or an authorised service partner undertakes to remedy such defects through subsequent fulfilment, i.e. at its discretion either by repairing or replacing the defective item. Defective parts shall become the property of the Manufacturer or the authorised service partner. If the appliance is no longer manufactured at the time of defect notification and if replacement delivery has been opted for, then the Manufacturer may deliver a similar product.

If the Manufacturer remedies a defect under its Warranty commitment, the term of the Warranty shall not start again with regard to the repaired or replaced parts; rather, the original warranty period shall continue to be applicable to the appliance. Only the Manufacturer itself or an authorised service partner shall be entitled to conduct a warranty job. Any costs that occur in the event of a warranty claim shall be settled directly between the authorised service partner and the Manufacturer. The Warranty does not cover additional costs arising from complicated removal or installation jobs on the appliance (e.g. dismantling of furnishings or parts of the vehicle body), and neither does it cover travel expenses incurred by the authorised service partner or the Manufacturer.

No further-reaching claims shall be permitted, especially damage claims presented by the Consumer or third parties. This shall not affect the provisions of the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

The voluntary manufacturer's warranty does not affect the Consumer's legally valid claims for defects against the seller in the relevant country of purchase. In individual countries there may be warranties that can be issued by the relevant dealer (official distributor, Truma Partner). In such cases the warranty can be implemented directly through the dealer from whom the Consumer bought the appliance. The warranty regulations of the country in which the appliance was purchased by the Consumer for the first time shall also be applicable.

12.2 Warranty exclusions

No warranty claim shall be applicable under the following circumstances:

• Improper, unsuitable, faulty or negligent use and any use that is not compliant with the intended purpose
• Improper installation, assembly or commissioning, contrary to operating or installation instructions
• Improper operation or operation contrary to operating or installation instructions, particularly any disregard for maintenance, care or warning notes
• Instances where installations, repairs or any other procedures have been conducted by non-authorised parties
• Consumable materials and parts which are subject to natural wear and tear
• Installation of replacement, supplementary or accessory parts that are not original manufacturer's parts or which have not been approved by the manufacturer. This applies in particular if the appliance is subject to networked control, if the control units or the software have not been approved by Truma or if the Truma control unit (e.g. Truma CP plus or Truma iNetBox) has not been exclusively used for controlling Truma appliances or appliances approved by Truma.
• As a consequence of damage arising from foreign substances (e.g. oil, or plasticisers in the gas), chemical or electrochemical influences in the water, or cases when the appliance has come into contact with unsuitable substances (e.g. chemical products, flammable substances or unsuitable cleaning agents)
• Damage caused by abnormal environmental or unsuitable operating conditions
• Damage caused by force majeure or natural disasters or any other influences not within Truma's responsibility
  • Damage resulting from improper transport
• End customer's or third-party modifications of the appliance, including any replacement, supplementary or accessory parts, or installation of the same, especially concerning the exhaust gas system or the cowl.

12.3 Making a warranty claim

The warranty must be claimed with an authorised service partner or at the Truma Service Centre. All the relevant addresses and phone numbers can be found at www.truma.com, in the “Service” section.

The Manufacturer's address is:

Truma Service Centre

85640 Putzbrunn, Germany

To ensure a smooth procedure, we would be grateful if you could have the following details ready before contacting us:

• Detailed description of the defect
- Serial number of the appliance
- Date of purchase

The authorised service partner or the Truma Service Centre will then specify the further procedure. To avoid transport damage, the affected appliance must only be shipped by prior arrangement with the authorised service partner or the Truma Service Centre.

If the warranty claim is recognised by the Manufacturer, then the transport expenses shall be borne by the same. If no warranty claim is applicable, the Consumer will be notified accordingly and any repair and transport expenses shall then be the Consumer's liability.

We ask you not to send in an appliance without prior arrangement.
