! AIR HEATER RUNNING ON DIESEL
Some different makes of heater are used.
No more gas-oil for heating is supplied once the reserve
level of the carburant reservoir has been reached (alarm
on the control panel). Therefore, do not wait for this
alarm to go off before refilling if you intend to use this
type of heating
.
Since starting these heating devices uses a high
amount of 12 V current, we highly recommend
starting them during travel. This operation enables
having a warm unit when you stop with a low
impact on your battery and gas consumption.
It is mandatory to stop the gasoil heating element
and wait until it becomes fully extinguished
(burning of residues and ventilation of exhausts)
before turning off the electricity for the control
panel.

Turn the knob to the maximum position to start off
and when it has regulated turn to the required position
(about half-way for a temperature of 20ºC). Never leave
the heater set to maximum, as the safety cut-out may be
triggered (overheating).
