OPERATION USING BOTTLE GAS
1. Never use another source of energy at the same time (mains or battery).
2. Operation on gas is prohibited in small closed areas, in small vehicles and in
boats. When using the appliance in caravans and mobile homes, a well and sound
ventilation should be provided. Vents in the wall facing the back of the fridge
have to be provided with all other flu pipes etc to ensure sound ventilation. All
works MUST be done by an experienced fitter. In all cases the location should be
protected from rain and/or splashing.
3. The fridge doesn’t come with a flue kit, but a flue bend is provided which can be
fitted at the top of the exhaust outlet on the back of the fridge. This flue bend is to
assist in fitting any other parts of a suitable flue kit. All works for the fitting of a
flue kit should be done by an experienced fitter.
4. The gas cylinder must be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area and never
in a basement or a cellar. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to high
temperatures.
5. The appliance cannot operate at a pressure other than the one specified on the
identification label at the back. It is recommended to use an appropriate pressure
regulator.
6. During connection of the fridge to the gas cylinder, always stay clear of any sort of
ignition and do not smoke. Connect in the order: gas cylinder – pressure regulator
– appliance. Excessive twisting and bending of the flexible hose must be avoided.
Check for leaks should be done only by means of soapy water. Never check for
leaks using a flame. When changing the gas cylinder or disconnecting the hose,
it is necessary to close the valve of the gas cylinder. Always replace a damaged or
porous hose.
7. The gas valve knob (right) is a combination of gas control and ignition.
Furthermore the gas valve assembly consists of an incorporated safety pilot, a
burner with an ignition plug and a piezo igniter. The safety pilot automatically
maintains the gas supply as long as it remains lit. It automatically shuts off the
supply of gas if the flame goes out.
