Operating Instructions - BlueHeat
Congratulations on the purchase of your Webasto BlueHeat Heating System. You have
purchased a product that has been engineered and manufactured to the highest quality
standards in the industry. Your Webasto BlueHeat heater is a state of the art supplementary
heating system that will preheat the engine and passenger compartment of your vehicle while
aiding in defrosting your windows for clear vision. No more endless idling, freezing while the
engine warms, or dangerous ice-covered windshields. Preset the timer for up to one hour in
advance of your arrival and step into a pre-heated vehicle for a cozy, comfortable start to your
journey.
Please take a few minutes to read this manual to become familiar with the operation of your
Webasto Heater.
WARNING
To Prevent Asphyxiation: DO NOT operate heater while in confined spaces such
as closed, unventilated garages! Open an outside garage door before
operating the heater.
To Prevent Fire: DO NOT operate heater where flammable or explosive materials,
gases or dusts may be present. DO NOT operate heater over dry grass or
other dry ground cover. Switch heater off while refueling vehicle!
Switch heater off BEFORE entering fueling stations!
To Prevent Burning: NEVER touch hot components of the heating system!
Setting the Vehicle Climate Controls
Always make adjustments to vehicle climate controls with the engine running. After settings
are made, allow the engine to run for 10 seconds before switching off.
NOTE:
Prior to switching on the heater, the vehicle’s heater temperature control
must be set to “maximum heat” and air outlet should be set to “defrost.”
In the case of 3-speed blower fans, the vehicle’s blower fan is to be set to the 1st position (Low),
in the case of 4-speed blower fans to the 2nd position (Med. Low).
In the case of variable speed fans, adjust to approximately 1/3 of fan capacity.
Operation using the 24 Hour Digital Timer
The time for starting heating operation can be preset precisely anywhere between “1 minute”
and “24 hours.” Three starts can be programmed, but only one can be activated.
The heating duration time can be programmed as desired between 10 minutes and 60 minutes.
The default heating duration time setting is 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT!
To ensure adequate battery recharge time, the vehicle should be driven or
run an accumulated time equal to the total runtime of the heater.
Example: With a driving time of approximately 20 minutes (one way), we recommend
setting an operating time of 20 minutes.
