4. WARNINGS

observation of the installation and operation instructions shall lead to cancellation of the warranty and exclusion of

liability claims and results in it becoming illegal to use the appliance.

Please note that incorrect installation, misuse or use of non original Whale® parts may invalidate the warranty. It also

becomes illegal to use the appliance if incorrectly installed, and in some countries this even makes it illegal to use

the vehicle.

When operating using gas, the combustion air inlet flue and outlet flue for the products of combustion (exhaust flue)

must never be obstructed. They should be checked regularly, and if necessary cleaned by the user (e.g. in winter,

snow shall be removed from the combustion outlet and air intake).

Where the open end of the exhaust flue terminates, three sides of the under-floor Space Heater are to be kept open

and not obstructed, and not contain through floor ventilation openings.

The heater, its gas supply, and flues for the products of combustion are to be inspected in accordance with national

regulations or if these do not exist, the manufacturer’s recommendations, however, it is advised that this should be

done at least annually.

Please note: The heater and ducts will become hot. Please avoid anything directly touching the heater or

ducts.

The Whale® Space Heater kit contains:

Please note that the Whale® Space Heater requires a separate flue kit for installation. Exhaust flues are available in

lengths of 0.75m to 2m. A kit is also available specifically to allow the heater to be used while the vehicle is in motion.

Step 1 Find suitable location for Space Heater Installation

Consider the following points:

i. For weight distribution in caravans, aim to position the Space Heater as near to the axle as possible.

You should avoid (where possible) locating at the very rear and preferably avoid the very front.

ii. If mounting under the floor, the heater should be positioned within the chassis members and close to

the axle to help protect the appliance.

iii. Please note: The heater, ducts and flues will become hot. Please avoid anything directly touching

these.

iv. Ensure the position allows access for servicing the Space Heater and that there is a minimum of

25mm distance around the heater to adjacent walls.

v. The hot air outlet of the heater is to be fitted to the hot air ducting system. The heater should be

positioned to minimise the amount of ducting required and sharp bends in the ducting should be

avoided.

vi. In selecting the position of the Space Heater, ensure that the exhaust flue and combustion air inlet

flues can be installed avoiding all chassis members and gas pipes etc. that are located underneath

the floor. Remove the flue template from the back of the instruction manual and use this to find a

suitable location.

vii. The open end of the exhaust flue must not be fitted at the side of the caravan / motorhome where an

awning may be fitted. It is thus preferable to install the heater on the opposite side of the caravan /

motorhome to avoid routing the exhaust flue to the far side of the caravan / motorhome.

viii. Only Whale® supplied flue components are permitted to be used. The open end of either flue must

not be positioned within 300mm of a refuelling point or fuel tank breather outlet or any ventilator from

the fuel system(s). The exhaust flue must not be fitted within 300mm of a ventilator for the living

space or an opening part of a window. The open end of the exhaust flue must be positioned at least

500mm from the open end of the combustion air flue and be pointing in the same direction. The

exhaust flue should be positioned at the side or end of the caravan / motorhome. The exhaust flue

may be positioned vertically below an opening part of a window if the appliance is fitted with an

automatic shut-off device to prevent operation when the window is open.

Fuel refuelling / breather vent

ix. The combustion air inlet flue can be terminated underneath the vehicle. The open end of it must be

at least 500mm away from the open end of the exhaust flue, and pointing in the same direction. Take

care to ensure that both flues have a slight downward slope from as close to the heater as possible

to prevent any possibility of water traps. Ensure that neither the exhaust nor the combustion air inlet

flues are terminated in an under-floor box section.

x. The minimum length of the exhaust flue is 0.75m, and maximum length 2m. The minimum length of

the combustion air inlet flue inlet must be 0.75m, and maximum length 2m.

xi. When operating using gas, the combustion air inlet flue and outlet openings for the products of

combustion (exhaust flue) must never be obstructed. They should be checked regularly, and if

necessary cleaned by the user (e.g. in winter, snow shall be removed from the combustion flue outlet

and combustion air inlet flue).

xii. Where the open end of the exhaust flue terminates, three sides of the under-floor space are to be

kept open and not obstructed, and must not contain through-floor ventilation openings.

xiii. The heater, its gas supply, ducting and flues are to be inspected in accordance with national

regulations or if these do not exist, the manufacturer’s recommendations, however, it is advised that

this should be done at least every year.

xiv. The heater must not be used when the vehicle is in motion unless the vehicle in motion flues and

bracket are fitted. The vehicle in motion kit is not standard. Please refer to the vehicle in motion kit

instruction for further fitting considerations or contact Whale® Support for more information.

If installing on the underside of the vehicle floor skip Steps 2 and 3.

Step 2 Cut out holes for exhaust and combustion air flues

Position the template on the floor where the heater is to be mounted. Mark the position of the two holes for the

combustion air inlet and exhaust flues then drill holes with a 51mm (2”) minimum diameter hole saw.

Fig. 11

Push on the ends of the flues with the blue adaptor to the pipes on the underside of the Space Heater ensuring they

are fully pushed on, and secure with supplied hose clips.
