hole -the opposite side, and screw in the magnet in its place. Fit the plug In the hole originally occupied by the magnet. Transfer the circular  
latch plate, with the rubber washers) behind it, to the opposite side of the door. The retaining screw must not be completely tightened; when 
correctly positioned, the latch plate must still be comparatively loose on the screw so that it can take up its correct position on the face of the 
magnet as the door Is closed. 

Adjusting the door seal

  

Make sure that the latch plate on the door has not been over tightened (see previous paragraph), then screw the magnet on the front of the 
cabinet In arils or outwards, half a turn at a time, until a satisfactory door closure and seal is obtained. It is preferable to start with the magnet too 
far out, and gradual I, adjust it inwards until satisfactory. It the door seal needs adjusting on the hinge side, this can be done by loosening the 
upper and lower hinge arm screws and moving the door inwards 
outwards as required. It must not be too tight on the hinge side otherwise the magnet will not be able to pull in the door sufficiently to effect a 
good seal, 

When correct, the distance between the edge of the door and the front of the cabinet should be the same all round. 
Finally, adjust the position of the door retainer on the top corner of the cabinet by loosening its fixing screws and moving it inwards or 

outwards so that it Iines up with the hole in the top of the door frame. Tighten the fixing screws when the retainer has been correctly positioned. 

5. CHANGING THE OUTER DOOR PANEL 

If preferred, the outer door panel can be removed and replaced by one of rust-proofed metal, plastic, or other suitable material with a finish to 
match other surfaces in the caravan, 

To remove the door panel, take out the screw from each end of the plastic nameplate strip, then pull one end of the strip outwards and 

downwards until it is disengaged from the door. 

Slide the outer door panel upwards until there is sufficient space to insert the fingers underneath it. Holding the top and bottom edges of 

the panel, bow its centre outwards until it can be removed from the aluminium door frame. 

Fit the new door panel by locating one side behind the aluminium door frame and bowing out its centre until its other side can be 

engaged, Slide the panel down as far as it will go, then refit the nameplate strip by engaging the retaining section of its rear top edge under the 
aluminium door frame and sliding it upwards until its lower edge can be located over the top of the door panel. Finally, replace the two screws. 

6. DIMENSIONS OF REFRIGERATOR 

The exterior dimensions of the refrigerator are given in the following sketches. When installed, the clearances for air circulation given in items 8 
and 9 must be allowed for. 

 

 

7. GAS PRESSURE, BURNER, JET, AND THERMOSTAT BY-PASS SCREW 

The burner and burner jet lute fig. 21, and the hexagonal headed brass by-pass screw on the underside of the thermostat body, must all be of the 
correct type or size for the gas and gas pressure to be used. The gas pressure is determined by the type of regulator fitted to the gas bottle and 
this may vary according to the Standard adopted in the country concerned. In the United Kingdom and in any other parts of Europe, the standard 
pressures used for butane and propane are as shown in section 1 of the table below. In Germany and Austria, the higher pressure shown in, 
section 2 of the table usually applies. 

Before installing the refrigerator, check from the label attached to it that the gas equipment Is correct for the gas and gas pressure to be 

used. If it is not, the burner, jet, and thermostat by-pass screw must be changed for the correct type and size in accordance with the table below. 
For future reference, any changes made should be recorded on or beside the data label
