OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS
FIG. 1
The refrigerator can be run on 230-240 V, 12 V or LP
gas. Changing between these modes of operation is
carried out by means of the control buttons positioned
as shown in fig. 1.
The energy selector (A) can be set at either "AC" (230-
240 V), "DC" (12 V), "GAS" (LP gas) or "OFF".
An indicator lamp (B) at the control panel flashes when
the automatic igniter attempts to light the burner.
Otherwise this lamp is off.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device that
automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes
out. The safety device can be operated manually by
pressing the button (C).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermo-
stat (D) when the refrigerator runs on 230-240 V and LP
gas. Please note that the thermostat has no "off" position
when the refrigerator runs on LP gas.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
All references are to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
etc., the gas pipes may contain some air that should be
allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or
other appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights
immediately.
To start gas operation:
1.
Open the shut off valve of the gas bottle (check that
there is enough gas). Open any on-board shut-off
valve.
2.
Set the thermostat knob (D) to the highest setting.
3.
Turn the energy selector (A) to position "GAS".
A ticking sound will be heard and the lamp (B) will
start flashing.
4.
Push the button (C) in until it reaches the bottom -
and hold. This opens the flame failure device and
allows gas to flow to the burner.
5.
When the flame lights, the sparking stops automati-
cally and the lamp stops flashing.
6.
Hold the button (C) an additional 10-15 seconds to
activate the flame failure device, then release it.
If the lamp start flashing again, repeat step 4-6.
To terminate gas operation, turn the knob (A) to "OFF"
position.
230-240 V operation
Before operating the refrigerator, check that the voltage
stated on the data plate is the same as the main voltage
in use.
•
Turn the thermostat knob (D) to its highest (coldest)
position.
•
Set the energy selector (A) to position "AC".
12 V operation
Only operate your refrigerator on 12 V when the engine
of the vehicle is running - otherwise your battery will soon
be discharged.
•
Set the energy selector (A) to position "DC".
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number refers to fig.1.
It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal
operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well
in advance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled
foodstuffs.
On 230-240 V operation and LP gas operation the
refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat and the thermo-
stat knob (D) should be set at 3-5. If a lower (colder)
temperature is desired set the thermostat to a higher
figure.
On 12 V operation the refrigerator works continuously.
TRAVEL CATCH
The refrigerator is equipped with two travel catches.
Make sure that both are engaged when the caravan is
on the move.
FOOD STORAGE
Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot
food in the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
Never keep items in the refrigerator that might give
off flammable gases.
The frozen food compartment is intended for the storage
of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable for
freezing items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of soft drinks in the frozen food
storage compartment as they may burst when freezing.
Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen
food compartment for about a month. This period of time
may vary, however, and it is important to follow the
instructions on the individual packages.
