Operating
instructions
Before starting to use the
device, it is essential that
the Operating Instructions
and „Important Instruc-
tions" be read carefully!
The vehicle owner is respon-
sible for ensuring that the
device can be operated in the
proper manner.

Taking into operation
Before switching on, it is es-
sential to make sure that the
fuse system for the power
supply at the camp site is
sufficient for 980 W (230 V)
(at least 4.2 A).
In order to prevent the
power cable for the
caravan from overheating
(minimum cross-section
3 x 2.5 mm²) the cable drum
must be fully unwound.
To switch on the air condi-
tioner move control panel
switch to „b" for cooling at
slow fan speed or „c" for
cooling at fast fan speed.
Position „c" (high fan power)
cools the room temperature
down rapidly, and position „b"
(low fan power) is particularly
suitable for dehumidification
and during the night, since
the fan runs slowly and there-
fore extremely quietly.
When the unit is swit-
ched on or over, the fan
starts immediately and the
compressor activates auto-
matically 3 minutes later.
Switching of
Switch off at control panel (a).
Notes for the use
of air-conditioners
– The Truma-Saphir comfort IR
is designed for minimal
current consumption. Never-
theless, you should check
before taking the system into
operation whether the cam-
ping site has adequate fuses
(minimum 4.2 A).
– As far as possible, park
your vehicle in the shade.
– Darkening the interior with
window blinds and/or a roof
awning will reduce the penet-
ration of radiant heat.
– Clean the roof of the vehic-
le regularly (dirty roofs heat
up more readily).
– Before operating the de-
vice, ventilate your vehicle,
in order to allow the hot air
which builds up inside to
escape.
– When aprons or the like are
being fitted, please ensure
that adequate openings are
present beneath the vehicle
for incoming and outgoing
air.
– To create a healthy envi-
ronment on the inside of the
vehicle, the difference bet-
ween the inside and outside
temperatures should not be
selected as too great. During
operation the circulated air
will be purified and dried.
Due to the drying of the
moist, humid air, a pleasant
environment will be created
inside even with slight
temperature differences.
– Keep the doors and win-
dows closed while the coo-
ling system is in operation.
Important
instructions
Repairs may only be
carried out by properly
qualified professionals!
Remove and dispose of oil
and refrigerant properly
before scrapping the equip-
ment.
1. To avoid damage during
transport, the device must
only be dispatched after
discussion with the Truma
Service (see page 22).
2. The voltage must be dis-
connected at all poles before
the housing is opened.
3. Any modification to the
device, or the use of spare
parts and functionally-impor-
tant accessories which are
not original Truma compon-
ents, or failure to respect the
Installation and Operating
Instructions, will lead to the
cancellation of the guarantee
and to the ex clusion of claims
for liability.
4. The cooling circuit contains
the cooling agent R 407C,
and may only be opened by a
properly qualified person.
5. The cool air outflow and
the ambient air suction intake
must not on any account be
obstructed. Please bear this
in mind in order to ensure the
trouble-free operation of your
device.
6. The apertures beneath the
vehicle floor must be kept
free of dirt and snow slush.
7. If the floor of the vehicle
is provided with underfloor
protection, all the apertures
beneath the vehicle must be
covered in order to prevent
the spray created from penet-
rating the device and causing
malfunctions. Once the work
has been completed the covers
can be removed again.
8. In order to avoid damage
to the compressor, when the
device is in operation during
transit (for example, with the
generator or voltage transfor-
mer working), do not attempt
uphill or downhill gradients of
more than 8%.
9. Do not allow cooling ope-
ration to run for extended
periods in a tilted position,
since the condensation water
which forms may not be able
to run off, and in the worst
scenario might penetrate into
the vehicle.
Maintenance
Located on the front side of
the unit is a fluff filter (n) and
a particle filter (p) for cleaning
the air in the room.
p
n
The fluff filter (n) must be
cleaned at regular intervals,
at least twice a year, and re-
placed if necessary (Part no.
40090-58200).
We recommend that the
particle filter (p) be replaced
annually at the start of the
season (Part no. 40090-
58100).
In order to change the filters,
pull fluff filter (n) forward at
recesses at top edge and
remove from above. Remove
particle filter towards the
front.
Ensure the installation
position is correct. The
arrows imprinted on the unit
must point towards the inside
of the device, and symbolise
the direction of flow of the
circulating air. The device
must never be operated
without the filter. Without
a filter the evaporator will
become dirty, which in turn
will impair the performance
of the device.
The condensation water drain
is located beneath the floor
of the vehicle. In order to
allow the condensation to
drain away freely, check whe-
ther the drain is free of dirt,
leaves and the like at regular
intervals. If this is not done,
there is a risk of conden-
sation water penetrating
into the vehicle.
