Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Trumatic E heater be operated while driving?
Yes, Trumatic E heaters are tested and approved for operation during travel. The fan-assisted burner ensures uninterrupted operation even under extreme wind conditions, though national regulations regarding LPG appliance use during travel must be followed.
Q: What should I do if there is a gas leak or gas odor?
Immediately extinguish all open flames, do not smoke, turn off the appliance, close the gas cylinder valve, open the windows, do not operate any electrical switches, and have the entire system inspected by an expert.
Q: How often must the gas system be checked?
Every 2 years the gas system has to be re-inspected by a certified LPG expert (for example DVFG, TÜV or DEKRA) and signed off on the matching test certificate (BGG 935, G 607 or G 608).
