220V Electrical Connection To charge the vehicle and use 220V power, it is necessary to connect to an electrical source. Follow these steps:

1

Plug one end of the 1/16 (3/16) 220V electrical cable provided with the caravan into the 3/16 (16A) 220V covered inlet mounted on the caravan’s body.

2

Connect the other end to the city power grid.

5

IMPORTANT

When connecting to the city power grid, use a single connection point rather than multiple connection points to avoid electrical fluctuations that can damage the inverter. Once connected, the caravan will automatically detect the presence of 220V and switch to operating on 220V power. Be sure to fully extend the provided extension cable inside the caravan to ensure proper operation.

Filling Clean Water

The covered and locked storage compartment located at the left rear part of the caravan is used to fill clean water. To fill the tank, lift the external cover upwards, open the rotating storage cap provided with the caravan, and turn it to the left. Use a hose to fill the opened storage compartment with water. Once the water filling process is complete, securely lock the storage compartment. While filling the caravan with water, press the water level indicator button on the CBE control panel inside the caravan to monitor the water level, which ranges from 1/3 to 3/3.

IMPORTANT

• Please avoid using the clean water in your caravan as drinking water. • Whenever possible, fill the tank with water from trusted and clean sources. • Do not use well water, as it can cause calcification and void the warranty.

hotomobil.com

Outdoor Shower Usage Your caravan is equipped with a hot-cold external shower located inside the left rear door. To adjust the water temperature, rotate the valve shown in the adjacent picture 180° to the right or left. Move the lever as indicated in the diagram to turn on the water, adjusting the flow to the right or left as needed. You can activate the water flow by pressing the shower head. After using the external shower, ensure that it is turned off completely.

IMPORTANT

Failure to close the external shower during travel can lead to water leakage. Any issues arising from water inside the caravan due to this will be your responsibility.

Inverter Usage

Inside the caravan, there is a permanent supply of 12V electricity when the battery is charged. The inverter can be turned on and off using the black switch. When 220V electricity is required, the inverter converts the 12V electricity to 220V, which can be used with the sockets inside the caravan. To activate the inverter, press the power button.

Devices with a maximum power of 1000W at 220V can be plugged into the caravan’s sockets. If devices exceeding 1000W are used, the inverter will enter an overload condition and emit an audible warning.

Operating the inverter in an overloaded state can cause it to burn out, and this will be the user’s responsibility.

7

Solar Panels

The caravan is equipped with solar panels that can meet daily power needs. No specific actions are required to use the panels. They store more energy during hours when the

sunlight is directly overhead. However, covered panels may weaken the charge. Points to Consider; Cable Connections: Before travel, ensure all cable connections are proper and secure. Cables should not be exposed to excessive tension or friction. Regular Cleaning: Solar panels need to be cleaned regularly to maintain efficiency. Dirt, dust, and other debris on the panels can reduce performance. Avoiding Shade: Make sure that the panels are not shaded. Shade can significantly reduce energy production. Winter Maintenance: Do not allow snow and ice to accumulate on the panels during cold weather. These accumulations should be cleaned off. Protect the panels from hail damage.

Failures that may occur due to not cleaning the panels for an extended period are the responsibility of the user.

hotomobil.com

A/C (Air Conditioner) Usage

To avoid damaging the compressor, please ensure not to travel on slopes steeper than 8% while the device is operational when on the road (e.g., when the generator or voltage converter is in use). Due to the possibility that condensation water produced during operation may not drain away, do not allow the device to operate in cooling mode for an extended period in a tilted position to prevent the risk of this liquid penetrating the interior of the vehicle. For the smooth operation of the device and to prevent damage, the supply voltage should always come from a source with a sinusoidal waveform and no sudden voltage spikes (e.g., voltage converter, generator). Ensure that no water enters the inside of the device/unit when cleaning the vehicle (e.g., using a high-pressure cleaner). Do not spray water directly onto the device or unit. Avoid using high-temperature cleaners and steam cleaners.

23

Instructions for Using Ventilation Units

The ventilation unit is designed for power consumption up to 2.8A. Before operating, ensure the fuse system of the power supply at the campsite is adequate. Park your vehicle in the shade whenever possible. To prevent radiant heat from penetrating your vehicle, darken the interior with sunshades. Clean the vehicle’s roof regularly, as dirty roofs can cause the interior to heat up more quickly. Before operating the device, ventilate the interior of your vehicle well to allow hot air to escape. To create a healthy environment inside your vehicle, the temperature difference between inside and outside should not be too high. The air circulating inside must be purified and dried. Air free from humidity plays an important role in creating a pleasant environment inside the vehicle even with small temperature differences. To prevent condensation from forming on the air distributor, keep all doors and windows closed while the device is cooling the environment. For faster cooling, set the fan speed to high, adjust the air distribution to medium for front/rear, and set the air distribution to the ceiling for floor/ ceiling.
