Maintenance of gas equipment
A qualified service engineer must maintain
and inspect gas and electrical equipment. It
is advisable to have this maintenance work
performed by a customer service centre.
Contact the Customer Service department of
Thetford for a list of qualified parties.
Important!
European laws covering gas appliances and
extractors prescribe observance of the
following rules (which are the user’s
responsibility):
- gas appliances and extractors must be
inspected prior to first usage and
thereafter every two years;
- appliances that run on liquid gas must
be inspected each year. After each
inspection a certificate will be issued;
- the gas burner must be cleaned at least
once a year or more frequently if
necessary.
- If a gas hose is used, it must be
checked annually. This hose has a
limited life and, thus, must be regularly
replaced. Check the hose regularly for
cracks, splits and ageing. If in doubt,
replace the hose. Pay attention to the
maximum life of the hose and replace it
in time, as advised by the manufacturer
or in conformance with local regulations.

- For replacement, a gas hose approved
in accordance with the local regulations
must be used . Position the hose so that
it can rotate, is not kinked, and will allow
no bends to occur.
- Due to the limited life of the gas hose, it
must be installed so that replacement is
possible.
