Refrigerator operation

4.3.2 Gas operation (liquid gas)

n
The refrigerator must be operated using
liquid gas (propane, butane) (no natural
gas or town gas).
n
When using LPG gas, please consider that
the burner needs cleaning at shorter inter-
vals due to the gas combustion method (2
- 3 times per year recommended.
n
In Europe, gas operation is permitted while
travelling only on the condition that the gas
system of the vehicle is equipped with a
hose rupture protection. The national regu-
lations of the respective country must be
observed.
n
For physical reasons, gas ignition faults
could occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (No
malfunction!)
n
On the initial refrigerator start-up or after a
cylinder change, air may be trapped in the
gas line. To purge the air from the lines,
switch on the refrigerator and any other gas
appliances (e.g. stove) for a short time. The
gas ignites without delay.
n
Each refrigerator with manual ignition is
equipped with an automatic flame safety
valve which interrupts the gas supply auto-
matically after approx. 30 seconds when
the flame has extinguished.
WARNING!
As a basic rule, gas operation is prohibi-
ted in petrol stations!
Prior to starting the refrigerator in gas
mode :
