Both heaters can provide a quick and efficient supply of hot water for showering and washing in touring caravans and motorhomes. The heater may also be installed in boats used exclusively on inland waterways i.e. Class 1 & 2 and subject to finding a satisfactory mounting position. Being a room sealed appliance it conforms to the requirements of the Boat Safety Scheme.
Micro-processor Controller Electronics
The Malaga 4 water heater is equipped with
the latest Propex electronics for accurate digital control of
the heaters operation and safety
functions. The switch panel features a 3 position switch for selecting either “gas only” or “gas and
230v”. If you want to use the heater on 230v only, you
simply switch off the gas tap that supplies the heater whilst
leaving the switch in the “gas and 230v” position. The
yellow L.E.D. on the switch panel lets you know when the gas burner
is operating and also, by flashing a certain amount of times, indicates various
fault conditions.
