9.  Customer service

Before notifying customer service, please check the

following:

Are location and ventilation satisfactory?
Does the appliance stand evenly?
Is  there  a  current  in  the  wall  socket  and  is  the

connection suitable for the appliance?
Is the mains power cable damaged?
For  mains  operation,  is  the  electric  thermostat

swiched on?
For  gas  operation,  was  the  safety  valve  knob

pressed down long enough?
Is  the  safety  valve  knob  set  towards  the  large

flame symbol?
Is the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator valve

open?
Is there any gas in the cylinder? (If by shaking, no

liquid  movement  can  be  detected,  then  the

cylinder is empty.)
Are by any chance two different power sources

connected (such as gas or electricity)?
Was warm food placed in the unit?
Was a large quantity of food put in at one time?

If  after  checking  the  above,  the  appliance  still  does

not operate properly, contact customer service. When

reporting the problem, state the type of problem, the

type of appliance, and the product number and serial

number from the data plate. 
We  assume  the  warranty  in  accordance  with  our

warranty assumptions for the appliance.

10. Putting into operation

You  must,  in  all  instances,  operate  the

appliance  from  a  single  energy  source  only.

Connecting several energy sources at the same time

will cause failure of the appliance. 

Technical data:

10.1 Connecting to electrical mains

Make  sure  no  other  energy  source  is  connected

(gas, 12V).
The appliance may only be operated from nominal

voltage  mains  as  shown  on  the  data  plate.  The

appliance mains plug may be connected to a mains

socket earthed in accordance with regulations. (In

foreign  countries,  because  of  other  electric

receptacles, an adapter may be required.) 

10.2 Connecting to vehicle power  

source

Make  sure  no  other  energy  source  is  connected

(gas, 120V).
12V  appliances  must  be  connected  to  a  vehicle

cigarette lighter, which is protected with a 16A fuse.

10.3 Connecting to gas cylinder

Make  sure  no  other  energy  source  is  connected

(120V, 12V). 
This refrigerator is designed for self-contained fuel

cylinder  of  not  more  than  75  cubic  inches  (2  ½

pounds  nominal  water  capacity).  The  cylinder(s)

must  be  constructed  and  marked  in  accordance

with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the

U.S.  Department  of  Transportation  (DOT),  DOT

SPEC.  89  (49CFR  178.65),  in  Canada,  with  the

ministry of transport and communication.
The  refrigerator  may  only  be  operated  by  a  self-

contained 14 oz propane HD5 gas bottle, which is

to be connected to the refrigerator by means of the

supplied  manual  control  valve  and  the  pressure

regulator with hose. The gas burner is fitted with a

jet Nr. 22 which is suitable for use on Propane gas

at a supply pressure of 11 inches water gauge.

10.4  Connection of gas supply 

(Fig.11)

a. fit  the  manual  control  valve  (Fig.11.1)  with

pressure  regulator  (Fig.11.2)  and  hose  finger

tight  to  the  self  contained  14  oz  gas  cylinder

(Fig. 11.3)

b. connect the gas hose to the inlet (Fig. 11.4) at

the back of the refrigerator with tools (see label

at the connection)

c. put the gas bottle assembly about 10” from the

refrigerator.

After  connecting 

all  gas  connections  must  be

checked for leaks

. For this put a soapy solution

on  all  gas  connections,  turn  on  the  gas  cylinder

manual valve and watch for bubbles.
For the detection of leaks never use an open flame.
If the gas bottle is empty withdraw it from the bottle

holder,  unscrew  the  manual  control  valve  /

pressure regulator-assemly from the bottle and refit

a new one.
