4. Setup and Installation
The vent plug is designed for simple, tool-free installation.
- Preparation: Ensure your Truma AquaGo system is completely shut down and cool. Locate the vent opening on the unit.
- Orientation: Observe the shape of the vent plug and the vent opening. The plug is designed to fit in one specific orientation. Identify the tab on the plug and align it with the corresponding slot or opening in the vent.
- Insertion: Gently insert the plug into the vent opening. Apply light, even pressure until the plug is seated firmly and securely. It should fit snugly to prevent debris or insects from entering. Do not force the plug if it does not fit easily; re-check the orientation.
- Verification: Once inserted, ensure the plug is flush with the vent surface and does not wobble.
Note: Some users have reported fitment issues with specific door frames. If the tab on the plug interferes with your unit's door frame, ensure you are inserting it correctly or consult Truma support if issues persist.
5. Operating Instructions
The Truma AquaGo Electric Antifreeze Vent Plug is a passive component. Its primary function is to seal the vent opening when the Truma AquaGo system is not in active use or during specific maintenance procedures like winterization.
- When to Use: Insert the vent plug when the Truma AquaGo system is stored, not in use for extended periods, or when performing antifreeze procedures to prevent foreign objects, insects, or debris from entering the vent.
- When to Remove: Always remove the vent plug before operating the Truma AquaGo system. Operating the system with the vent plug inserted can restrict airflow and potentially damage the unit.
6. Maintenance
The Truma AquaGo Electric Antifreeze Vent Plug requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the plug for dirt, dust, or debris. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before re-inserting.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the plug for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If the plug is damaged, replace it immediately with a genuine Truma replacement part to ensure proper sealing and protection.
- Storage: When not in use, store the plug in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
