HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the caravan is on tow, the refrigerator
should only be operated electrically, i.e. from the
12V battery in the towing vehicle and not by
means of the bottled gas.
The refrigerator can be run on 230V or LP gas
whilst stationary.
CAUTION: Only use one source of energy at a
time.
WARNING: The refrigerator should not be
operated on LP gas whilst being towed or
when on a petrol station forecourt.
Switching on the refrigerator
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator before
you switch it on.
• Let the refrigerator run for at least eight
hours before you place food in it for the first
time.

Controls
A = Energy source selector switch. Selects the
correct energy source at control A as follows:

B = Thermostat controls the refrigeration
temperature.
Temperature level is indicated by a
series of dots. The larger the dot the colder the
temperature.
C = Flame meter . Indicates if the refrigerator flame
is alight.
D = Piezoelectric ignition. Produces a spark, when
pressed, to ignite the burner flame.
ELECTRIC POWER OPERATION
Electric power operation is available from two
sources:
•
Battery operation, 12V.
• Mains voltage operation, 230V.
Battery operation must only be selected after the
refrigerator has reached optimum temperature
using either mains voltage or gas supply as the
power source. Battery operation works
independently of thermostat control.
Mains voltage operation is controlled by the
thermostat setting of control B.
