10.2. Connecting to vehicle power
source
Make sure no other energy source is connected (gas,
230V).
A safety fuse must be installed in the electricity supply
between battery and the cooling box in a duct.
12V appliances must be connected to a vehicle
cigarette lighter, which is protected with a 10A fuse.
24V appliances must be connected by inserting a
terminal block and switch and protected with a 5A
fuse. The switch must be suitable for switching a 5A
current.
It is not necessary to consider the polarity when
connecting the unit.
In case you need a longer cable, please refer to the

connection.
10.3. Connecting to gas cylinder
Make sure no other energy source is connected
(230V, 12V).
The unit must not be connected to town or natural
gas pipelines.
It is only suitable for use with
propane/butane gas (e.g. Calor Gas, Camping Gaz,
Caravangas, etc.).
The cooling box is equipped for a specific gas-
pressure, corresponding to the standard pressure of
the country in which it is sold. The data plate states
the pressure that is correct. It is important that a non-
adjustable pressure-regulator must be used to reduce
the pressure in the gas cylinder to the operating
pressure specified on the data plate. No other
pressure may be used.
Needle valve-operated
gas valves are NOT suitable
for use with this appliance and must not be used as a
substitute for a pressure regulator.
10.4. Connection of gas supply
(The following instructions refer in the main to
coolers manufactured in the United Kingdom. For
other countries please refer to your supplier.)
Always connect in the following sequence:
GAS BOTTLE
→
PRESSURE-REGULATOR
→
→
APPLIANCE.
To connect the appliance to the pressure-regulator
an APPROVED FLEIBLE GAS TUBE must be used.
This must not be longer than 1,5 m - and should
have an inside dimension of 8 mm and be marked
BS3212/2/8. The flexible gas tube must not be
twisted! It must be regularly changed if it is
determinated in the standard of your country.
The pressure-regulator must be compatible for
Butane 11 in (28 mbar) or for Propane 14 in (37
mbar).
To connect the pressure-regulator to the gas bottle,
the valve of the gas bottle must be closed. After
connecting the pressure regulator to the bottle by
screwing, connect the two ends of the tubing to the
nipples and secure them with the two hose clipse.
(Figure 6).
When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the
appliance (Figure 6 D), hold the counterpart to
avoid straining and possibly damaging.
The gas bottle (Butane, blue bottle) may only be
used in an upright position and particular care must
be taken every time the appliance is connected to
the gas bottle to ensure that there are no leaks, that
the tubing (rubber hose) is not under tension or
kinked, and that it is not in contact with hot
surfaces.
The tubing and the gas bottle should always be
located in positions where they will not be tripped
over or otherwise inadvertently disturbed.
Before attempting to light the burner, every time
after connection, turn on the gas at the bottle and
check the gas connections for leaks by applying a
soap and water solution over them and watching for
bubbles, which would indicate a leak.
After testing dry off traces of detergent.
