FITTED EQUIPMENT
It is preferable to start the refrigerator with
the control knob set at the Maximum flame
position (No 3). After an hour or so, it may be
turned to the Medium (No 2) or Minimum (No
1) positions, to provide the cooling required
under the prevailing conditions.
In warm weather, or with a heavy food load,
or frequent door openings, the Medium or
Maximum position will usually be needed,
but, in cold weather it may only be necessary
to use the Minimum flame position.
Remember to alter the setting, as necessary,
if there is an appreciable change in room
temperature or conditions of use.
When operating on mains electricity, the
refrigerator temperature is thermostatically
controlled ant the thermostat dial (6, fig. 2)
should be set with No. 3 or 4 against the
indicator mark. Suitable temperatures will
then be maintained in the fridge for general
use but, in hot weather, or if more cooling is
required, turn the dial to a higher number. For
less cooling, turn it to a lower number.
Storing food in the refrigerator
Four half-depth shelves are provided. Two
can be used together to form a full size shelf
(with the rear one reversed so that its raised
edge is at the back), or they can be used
separately in the four locations in the lining to
leave space for bottles at the front.
To prevent drying out and the transfer of
flavours from one food to another, always
store foods in covered containers or plastic
bags. When ‘on the move’, crumpled pieces
of clean paper may be wedged (temporarily)
between the various items to retain them.
Never put hot food into the refrigerator.
Ice-making
Fill the ice-tray with water to within 3/16 inch
(5 mm) from the top, and place it on its shelf
inside the refrigerator. When the ice has
formed, the tray can be released fron the
shelf simply by lifting one corner.
When operating on gas, ice will be made
more quickly if the control knob (4, fig. 1) is
temporarily turned to the Maximum flame
position (No. 3).
Travel Catch
The travel catch (fig. 3) is to keep the
refrigerator door securely closed when the
vehicle is on the move. Remember to push
the catch down so that its lower end fully
engages the plastic bush in the top of the
door, before moving off.
Defrosting
Frost will gradually form on and under the
ice-tray shelf. It is a mistake to assume that
an accumulation of frost gives a colder
cabinet. For the most efficient operation, the
refrigerator should be defrosted regularly-
usually about once a week or ten days,
depending on the particular conditions od
use.
To defrost, turn off the gas, empty the
cabinet, remove the ice-tray and leave the
cabinet door open. The frost will melt and run
into the drip collector.
When defrosting is complete, remove the drip
collector by carefully sliding it forward, and
empty it of water. Wipe dry the ice-tray shelf,
replace the drip collector, turn on the gas and
relight the burner. Rinse out the ice-tray, refill
it with fresh water and replace it.
Note: Do not attempt to defrost more quickly
by means of an electric fire or other form of
heat as this may damage the plastic
surfaces.
