Connecting to an LPG cylinder:
Only use approved gas pressure regulator (regulated to 2.75kPa). Note: Pressure regulator is not supplied.
The gas inlet on this fridge is ¼” BSP Parallel or ¼” BSP Union. The thread required is RH ¼” BSP.
The appliance cannot operate at a pressure other than the one specified.
During connection of the fridge to the gas cylinder, always stay clear of any sort of ignition and do not smoke.
Connect in the order; gas cylinder – pressure regulator – appliance.
Excessive twisting and bending of the flexible hose must be avoided.
The gas valve knob (right) is a combination of temperature control and ignition. Furthermore the gas valve
assembly consists of an incorporated safety pilot, a burner with an ignition plug and a piezo-electric igniter.
The safety pilot automatically maintains the gas supply as long as it remains lit. It automatically shuts off the
supply of gas if the flame goes out.
Leak Test:
Open the gas valve of the gas cylinder. Once the gas connections have been sufficiently tightened, use a
soapy water solution to check connections for gas leaks. There are no leaks if no bubbles form. Never check
for leaks using a flame.
Starting your fridge on LPG:
Press and hold down the gas control knob on the control panel, wait approx 15 seconds to prime the gas (this
allows the gas to bleed through the burner), with the control knob still pressed in, turn knob to the right until
you hear the click of the piezo ignition. Hold the knob pressed in this position and check if the burner is alight
by checking that the needle on the pilot light gauge is in the green section, then release the knob.
It might be possible that this priming operation has to be repeated a couple of times, especially if the appliance
has not been used for a long time or if the gas cylinder has been changed. There can be air in the system,
which has to be forced out. You may also check that the pilot is lit by looking through the viewing port hole
located at the rear bottom left hand corner of the fridge.
If the flame fails to light, wait at least a minute before trying again.
If the needle moves out of the green area this would indicate gas flow has stopped and the pilot light has gone
out. If this should occur, follow the instructions to relight the unit.
Leave the knob for some time in max position; after a sufficiently long cool down period, a lower position can be
selected.
Turning off the fridge off:
When changing the gas cylinder or disconnecting the hose, it is necessary to close the valve of the gas cylinder.
To disconnect the fridge running on gas: close the valve of the gas cylinder and then turn the gas valve knob in
the panel to the ‘press’ position.
When using LPG ensure fridge is in a well-ventilated area, where fresh air is circulating.
Position the gas cylinder so that the hose is not kinked or stretched.
