Hi all,

I just had this light come on
39427-2059f24abbc9896c49a4077a52d43169.jpg

and am a bit confused (yes, it is off now).
If i am understanding the instructions properly, it may have been a problem as we are operating on 240v, but also have the gas turned on so we can cook on the weber and use the hotplates in the van - the unit is trying to heat with both electricity and gas.

I have turned the gas off at the bottle, turned the HWS off at both outside panel and inside for a few minutes and turned it back on again and it seems to be ok.

A couple of qu's:
- is my assertion above correct that the unit will try to heat using both 240v and gas if they are both available?
- if that is the case, where is the gas shut off valve so that we can keep gas running to the rest of the caravan but not to the HWS?
- is the light just indicating that the unit "high temperature limit cut off device" has shut it down (per the instruction manual?
- in the picture below, on the black panel which is the reset button (left or right?) as neither of them felt very "buttonish?

Cheers, Jemmo

@Jemmo Yes the unit can operate on 240 and gas at the same time......

A simple fix to your query..... turn the switch on the left in your first pic "Off" and that will stop it trying to fire up on gas.

OH and don't worry... we all started as newbies and guessing most, like myself, learned from our mistakes (Or own experiences as I call it!!)
