Have you got the instruction booklet? If not you can download from the Truma website. There are also some videos on youtube that may be useful.

Press the control knob so it lights up and rotate it until the top left motorhome is flashing. Press knob again to select. That is the heating menu.

Turn the knob until a number is shown Set it to something like 18. That is the temperature setting. Press knob to select.

Then rotate knob until the 3rd icon on the top row is flashing. Press knob to select. That is the heat source menu where you can select
E1 electric 1kw
E2 electric 2kw
gas or both. Cant remember all the options but you can mix and match elcc & gas. When happy press knob.

Then rotate knob until top right icon is flashing and press knob to select. That is the fan. Rotate knob to select setting and press.

That's it.

You must have the heat source connected and available. Electric on and or gas on and tap open on cylinder.

It takes several minutes after this before anything happens.

The 2nd icon from left on top row is water heating. Rotate knob to get it flashing and press knob to select. Rotate knob until it says OFF and press knob to select.
I think the options are ECO, HOT and BOOST. I normally use HOT.

Is the pump running when you turn on the tap. You should hear it.

The system needs to be bled to purge all the air through, which mostly is in the water heater. So 15 litres or so of air which has to be replaced by water.

If the pump is running you need to turn a hot tap on and leave it running until water comes out maybe a couple of minutes later accompanied by a lot of spitting water.

There may also be a drain point for the system which needs to be closed. if this is the problem there will be water coming out the bottom of the van when the pump is running.

I think the Cascade 2 also has a non return valve in the heater but am not sure. It's a while since I had one.
