🚿 Warm water and shower - Cozy Cottage (Knaus VAN TI PLUS)

Here is everything you need to do for a hot shower in your Cozy Cottage:

• For hot water, the water heater must be turned on. For this we need gas.
• Open the gas bottle and press the black button on the valve if necessary.
  Then additionally turn on the safety lever for hot water (lever in the middle with boiler symbol). This is located in the drawer under the sink:
  
• Use the on-board display to check whether there is enough fresh water in the water tank. For an extensive shower, we recommend a fill level of 50%.
  
• The boiler must be filled with water. To do this, switch on the water pump on the on-board display, let the water run briefly and turn the tap to hot.
• Then go to the Truma display above the sliding door and follow these steps:

1. To activate the screen, press the black button briefly. 
2. Turn the black button clockwise until you see the symbol with a thermometer under water blinking:
   
3. Click on the black button to confirm.
4. The text "OFF" will appear. Turn the wheel clockwise to select select the mode: ECO (40℃), HOT (60℃) or BOOST. 
5. Once you find the desired mode, press the button to select.
6. The main menu will appear again and the boiler should be working.
7. Wait about 20 minutes until the water in the boiler is hot.

• Turn the toilet into a shower by folding down the wall with the washbasin above the toilet. Turn the water tap all the way to the left.
• Release the silver lever between the tap and the mirror and turn the mirror wall all the way to the right.
• Then fold down the small magnetic glass door and attach it magnetically. No wooden part of the mirror wall should be visible any more.
• To take a shower, pull out the end of the tap that acts as a shower head with a long hose and attach it to the shower rod.

Troubleshooting

If there is an error or the water does not get warm, try the following:

• Check that gas is generally flowing.
• Make sure that the security valve for the boiler (see above) is open.
• If you have forgotten to open the gas bottle or the security valve before switching on the on-board display, this error must be cleared on the Truma control unit:

Common errors on the Truma display:

E517H // E507H // E516H: The error code appears when the gas supply is interrupted. Turn off the system, turn on the gas, press the black button to confirm that the error has been acknowledged. You may need to reset the appliance and start the process again.

W412H: The error appears when a window is open. This activates the safety pin to prevent exhaust gases from the heater entering the vehicle interior. To allow the exhaust gases to flow again, close the window.

W418H // W411H // W303H // E654H // E566H: The error code appears if the voltage of the camping battery is insufficient.
Check the battery capacity on your on-board display. If the value is below 12.3 V (50%), the battery must be charged before starting the heater.
Repeated unsuccessful restarts of the Truma unit can cause the heater to block.

Reset

You found the cause of the error and fixed it? Great! Some errors disappear by themselves.
Others need to be confirmed by navigating to the black button to the exclamation mark (by turning the black button):

Now press the black button to confirm the error. The symbol should now disappear and the heater can be put back into operation using the familiar steps.

Resetting the Truma unit after an error/warning message. Only ONCE!!!

In some cases, it helps to manually reset the Truma. Try this only once – if you repeatedly reset it without eliminating the cause, the entire system can be permanently disabled.
