When operating with LPG, the burner must be cleaned frequently

Ignition problems may occur at altitudes above 1000 m. Switch to a
different energy source.

To avoid unintentionally switching to gas operation while refuelling,
the automatic mode starts the gas operation only once the engine
has been off for 15 minutes.

Turn off the refrigerator or set it to a different operation mode, if refu-
elling lasts longer than 15 minutes.
•
At altitudes above 1000 m, ignition delays may occur. Change to a
different type of energy when the ignition is not possible.
