Model

Boiler Elektro (electric boiler) (BE 14)

Intended use

The Boiler Elektro (electric hot water generator) heats up water using an electric heating element (230 V, 850 W).

The device's operating permit, and consequently also the vehicle's operating permit in some countries, are also rendered void.

If only the cold water system is being operated without the boiler, the boiler also fills up with water. To avoid frost damage, the water in the boiler must be drained by operating the safety/drain valve, even if the boiler has not been used. Alternatively, two hot water-resistant shut-off valves can be fitted upstream of the cold and hot water connection.

If the boiler is connected to a central water supply (rural or urban connection), a pressure reducer must be used, which will prevent pressures higher than 2.8 bar from occurring.

In Germany, the Truma Service Centre must always be notified in the event of faults; in other countries the respective service partners are available (see www.truma.com).

The installer or vehicle owner must affix the yellow sticker with the warning information, which is enclosed with the appliance, in a location in the vehicle where it is clearly visible to all users (e.g. the wardrobe door)! Missing stickers can be requested from Truma.

Always observe the operating instructions and the "Important operating notes" prior to starting! The vehicle owner is responsible for correct operation of the appliance.

Before initial use, be sure to flush the entire water supply thoroughly with water. The boiler should be drained when it is not being used in order to avoid the risk of frost! No claims may be made under the warranty for damage caused by frost!

The materials of the device that come into contact with water are drinking water (see manufacturer's declaration www.truma.com – Downloads – Manufacturer's declaration).

Filling the boiler

Check that the safety/drain valve in the cold water supply is closed: Lever horizontal, position (a).

The safety/drain valve must be actuated regularly in order to prevent limescale deposits and to ensure that it blocked.

Figure 1

a = Lever position "Closed" b = Lever position "Drain"

Turn on the hot water tap in the bathroom or the kitchen. In the case of thermostatic or single-lever mixer taps, set to "warm".

Switch on power to pump assembly (main switch or pump switch).

Leave the fittings open for as long as it takes for the boiler to displace the air and fill up and for water to flow.

In the event of frost, filling may be prevented by frozen residual water. The boiler can be thawed by turning it on briefly (no more than 2 minutes). Frozen lines can be thawed by heating the interior.

Draining the boiler

If the caravan is not being used during the frost period, the boiler must be drained!

Disconnect power to pump assembly (main switch or pump switch).

Turn on the hot water taps in the bathroom and kitchen.

Open safety/drain valve: Lever vertical, position (b).

The boiler will now be drained directly to the outside via the safety/drain valve. Check that all the water has drained out of the boiler (14 litres).

Troubleshooting guide

Fault	Cause	Remedy
Water not getting hot. – No operating voltage.		– Restore power supply.
	– Operation without water; overtemperature protection switching heating element off.	– Switch off, wait for 10 minutes, fill with water, switch on.
Water taking an extremely long time to heat up.	– Water container furred. – Descale water system (see maintenance).
Water running away – boiler cannot be filled	– Safety/drain valve is open. – Close safety/drain valve.
Boiler cannot be drained, even though the safety/drain valve is open.	– Drainage socket of safety/ drain valve closed.	– Check opening for soiling (slush, ice, leaves etc.) and remove if necessary.
	– Venting hose closed off.	– Check opening (see above).– Check hose for kinks and correct.
	– Elbow fitting twisted at boiler.	– The aeration valve on the elbow fitting must face to the side.
Water dripping out of drainage socket of safety/drain valve.	– Water pressure too high.	– Check pump pressure (max. 2.8 bar). If the boiler is connected to a central water supply (rural or urban connection), a pressure reducer must be used, which will prevent pressures higher than 2.8 bar from occurring.

If these actions do not remedy the problem, please contact Truma Service.

Start-up

The boiler must not be operated with a time switch.

Switch on boiler at control panel (c). The indicator light indicates that the device is operating.

Use of vehicle-specific switches: see operating instructions from vehicle manufacturer.

The water temperature cannot be preselected, automatic temperature limit at approx. 70 °C.

The electric heating element is equipped with overtemperature protection. If the device is operated without or, the overtemperature protection switches it off at 90 °C. Under to switch it on again, the device must cool to less 24 °C and be switched "Off" and "On" again (Reset).

Maintenance

Only original Truma parts may be used for maintenance and repair work.

We recommend the use of suitable commercially available products to clean, sterilise and maintain the boiler. Products containing chlorine are not suitable.

The boiler should be heated to 70 °C at regular intervals to prevent infestation by microorganisms.

Disposal

The device must be disposed of in accordance with the administrative regulations of the respective country in which it is used. National regulations and laws (in Germany, for example, the End-of-life Vehicle Regulation) must be observed.

In other countries, the relevant regulations must be observed.

Manufacturer's Warranty (European Union)

1. Scope of Manufacturer's Warranty

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

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 unit from the Manufacturer, OEM or dealer and who neither resold the unit in a commercial or self-employed professional capacity nor did he or she install 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. Any defective parts shall become the property of the Manufacturer or the authorised service partner. If the unit 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 recommence anew with regard to the repaired or replaced parts; rather, the original warranty period shall continue to be applicable to the unit. Only the Manufacturer itself and 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 unit (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 provision shall not affect the validity of the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

Neither does the voluntary Manufacturer's Warranty affects the Consumer's legally applicable claims for defects towards 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 unit. The warranty regulations of the country in which the unit was purchased by the Consumer for the first time shall also be applicable.

2. Warranty exclusions

No warranty claim shall be applicable under the following circumstances:

- Improper use, contrary to the specified use - Improper installation, assembly or commissioning, contrary to operating or installation instructions

- Improper operation, contrary to operating or installation instructions, particularly maintenance, care and warning notes

– Instances where repairs, installations or any other procedures have been conducted by non-authorised partners

- 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 and which have thus caused a defect

- Damage arising from foreign substances (e.g. oils, plasticisers in the gas), chemical or electrochemical influences in the water, or cases when the unit has come into contact with unsuitable substances (e.g. chemical products, 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

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.

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

– Detailed description of the defect

- Serial number of the unit

- Date of purchase

The authorised service partner or the Truma Service Centre will then specify the further procedure. To avoid transport damage, the affected unit must only be shipped upon 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 must ask you not to send in a unit without prior arrangement.
