Operation Manual

Water
08-3
Attach hand showers to the shower tting. Check that water
is draining out. Clean the tanks and rinse them thoroughly.
Allow the water system to dry for as long as possible. Do not
forget to empty the toilet cassette.
If the vehicle is not being used and there is a danger of
sub-zero temperatures be sure to drain the entire water
system. Leave taps turn on in the middle position. Leave
all drain valves open.
Only empty your waste water tank at the specially desi-
gnated disposal points and never in open spaces! As a
rule disposal points can be found at motorway service
stations; campsites and petrol stations.
Waste water tank
In the Van Exclusive and Toskana Exclusive models, the
waste water tank is insulated by a Styrofoam casing that hot
air ows through (only when the hot-air heating has been
turned on). This prevents the waste water from freezing in a
light frost.
In the Sphinx models, the waste water tank has been in-
stalled in the heated false ceiling, which efciently prevents
the waste water from freezing.
Draining the water system
Ensure that the motor home is in a horizontal position. Turn
off the 12 V power supply at the control panel. Turn on all
drain cocks. If possible open the ller cap of the fresh water
tank. Turn the water taps to the middle position and let them
run.
Do a small quantity of antifreeze agent (e.g. table salt) to
the waste water tank if temperatures are signicantly below
freezing to prevent the waste water from freezing.
The waste water tank is not sufciently protected against
damage from frost when the vehicle is not in use.
Therefore, if there is any danger of sub-zero temperatures
empty the waste water tank completely.
Never pour boiling water down the sink. This can cause
distortions and leaks in the waste water system.
The waste water heating cartridge can only be switched
on when the motor home is connected to the 230V mains
supply.
