Operating your Fridge

The gas valve knob (right hand control dial) is a combination of temperature control
and ignition. Next to this is the gas valve assembly consisting of an incorporated
safety pilot, a burner with an ignition plug and a piezo-electric ignitor. 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.
1.
Open the gas valve of the gas cylinder, press the gas valve knob in the panel, wait
approx. 15 seconds, turn the pressed knob to the right, a click of the ignitor can be
heard and the gas flame is ignited.
2.
Hold the knob pressed in this position so that the flame remains burning. It might
be possible that this operation has to be repeated a couple of times, especially if the
appliance has not been used for a long time or if the gas cylinder has been
changed.
3.
There can be air in the system, which has to be forced out. It is necessary to check
that the pilot is lit by looking through the orifice at the top of the unit or through the
hole at the back near the burner.
NOTE: If the flame fails to light, wait at least a minute before trying again.
•
Leave the knob for some time in max. position; after a sufficiently long cool down
period, a lower position can be selected.
•
To disconnect the mobile fridge running on gas: close the valve of the gas cylinder
and then turn the gas valve knob in the panel to position ‘press’.
