MAINTENANCE & SERvICE

REPLACING ThE hEATER

The heat necessary for the operation of an absorption cooling 

unit is supplied by an electric heater mounted in a pocket of 

the boiler system.
The refrigerator is equipped with two electrical heaters, one 

for 230-240 V AC and one for 12 V DC.

To replace the heater proceed as follows:

Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230-

240 volt AC outlet. Disconnect the optional 12 V 

DC leads.

Shut off gas valve.
Remove the terminal block cover.

Disconnect the heater leads.

With a pair of pliers unfold the lug holding the lid 

of the boiler casing and open the lid.
Remove some insulation wool so that the heater is 

accessible.
Turn and lift the heater out of its pocket.
Fit the new heater into the pocket.
Connect the leads and put on the terminal block 

cover.
Put back the insulation and close the lid of the 

boiler.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Checking the connections

Check all connections in the LP gas system (at the back of 

the refrigerator) for gas leaks. The LP gas supply must be 

turned on. Apply a non-corrosive bubble solution to all LP 

gas connections. 

The appearance of bubbles indicates a 

leak and should be repaired immediately by a qualified 

serviceman.

 

Checking the LP gas pressure

The LP gas pressure should be checked and the main regula-

tor readjusted if pressure is incorrect. The correct operating 

pressure is 2,7 kPa. The correct place to measure the LP gas 

pressure is at the test port just ahead of the burner jet.

Cleaning the flue and burner

Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably clean and free 

of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning 

of the burner. 

The flue and burner both require cleaning in the following 

manner:

Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230-

240 volt AC outlet.

Disconnect or shut off the 12 volt DC power to the 

refrigerator.
Turn manual shutoff valve to OFF. 
Remove cover from the burner housing.

Disconnect the wire from the high voltage elec

-

trode.
Remove the burner mounting screw and remove 

the burner assembly.

Remove the wire and flue baffle from the top of 

flue tube. 
Clean the flue from the top using a flue brush. 

Blowing compressed air into the flue will not prop

-

erly clean soot and scale out of the flue tube. 
Replace the flue baffle.

Clean burner tube with a brush. Blow out burner 

with compressed air.
Before removing burner jet, clean burner area of 

soot and scale that fell out of flue tube. Remove 

the burner jet. 
Soak the jet in wood alcohol and blow it out with 

compressed air. Reinstall and tighten burner jet.  

 

The colour of the flame 

shall be clear blue over the 

slots of the burner.
