3. After approximately 10 seconds press knob (E) several times. After
ignition, hold down knob (B) for a further 20-30 seconds before
releasing.
The flame can be controlled by aperture (C).
Should no ignition occur, repeat the ignition process after 1 minute.
(This could take longer than 10 seconds if the unit has been out of
operation for a prolonged period or after replacing the gas cylinder.
Cause: air in the lines).
4. Once sufficient refrigeration has been obtained in the cooling tank at the
MAX position, the control knob should be turned to the MIN position by
low outside temperatures or when the refrigerator is only lightly loaded
respectively the ambient temperature is below +18°C, in order to avoid
overfreezing the contents.
12. Shutting down gas operation
1. Close gas cylinder or pressure regulating valve.
2. Turn knob (B) clockwise to the off position.
13. Food and drink storage
Foodstuffs and drinks should always be sealed when stored in the
cooling unit. Thus, changes in taste and smell are avoided.
Food and drink should be so placed in the cooler so as to allow air to
circulate freely.
Do not place hot food or drinks in the cooler!
Under no circumstances should inflammable liquids and/or gases be
stored in the cooler. Explosion hazard!
14. Defrosting and measures for prolonged
periods of disuse
A build up of too much ice on the evaporator hinders cooling of the unit and
thus reduces effectiveness. When there is an approximately 5-mm-thick
layer of ice build-up it is recommended to defrost the cooling unit. Thus, the
cooling unit will be turned off and any goods to be cooled removed. Never
use heated appliances, heaters, etc. to speed up the defrosting process! If
necessary, a cloth dipped in warm water can be placed on the unit to help
the defrosting process. After defrosting, clean up the defrosted water with a
clean cloth and clean the cooler containers as described in chapter 4.
