A flexible tube/hose, of max 1,5 m length approved for LPG
is connected to the threaded nipple (J) of fig. 6. Its other
end is connected to the reducing valve of the gas bottle as
shown in 8 ig. 9 or to an easily accessible gas shut off valve
which forms a part of the fixed gas installation of the buil-
ding.
... in vehicles
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
pipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by
means of a suitable threaded coupling.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a gas cock of
an approved type for use on LPG must be incorporated in
the supply line in a position which is readily accessible to
the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should
be on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should
be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from
being readily withdrawn.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regu-
lations and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation,
it is important that the circuit to and in the caravan is effec-
tively earthed.
ALL MAINS VOLTAGE WIRING IN THE CARAVAN
MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CURRENT I.E.E. REGULATIONS INCLUDING THE USE
OF AN OUTLET AND COUPLER TO BS4343/- CEE17.
For connection to a 230 V electricity supply, the refrige-rator
has a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connec-tion to
a properly earthed plug and socket outlet.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW = EARTH
BLUE = NEUTRAL
BROWN = LIVE
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, in
the United Kingdom, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green
or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
red.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrigerator
must be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a 13
amp.(B.S.1363) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a
3 amp. fuse. In other countries, the fuse rating will depend
upon the voltage and local practice.
230 V Supplies.
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same
as the mains voltage in use (230 V).
12 V Supplies
Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery or alterna-tor
by a direct cable. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross-section
area of the connecting cable between battery/alter-nator
and refrigerator must be at least 2.5 mm
2
if the distance is
less than 9 meters, and at least 4 mm
2
if the distance is
more than 9 meters
To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be
fitted with a fuse rated at max. 16 A.
To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make
sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when
the vehicle engine is not running, for example by fit-ting an
ignition control relay.
