OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROLS

The refrigerator can be run on 230-240 V, 12 V or ULP 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".
A flame indicator (B) at the control panel shows if the gas
flame is lit. The gas is lit when the red indicator is in the green
field.
A manual piezo-electric igniter is used. When the button (C) is
pushed, sparks are generated at the burner.
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 (D).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (E)
when the refrigerator runs on 230-240 V and LP gas. Please
note that the thermostat has no "off" position when the refrig-
erator runs on LP gas.

Whilst mobile:
• Do not operate the refrigerator on uLP gas.
• Turn off the gas bottle.
UNIVERSAL LP GAS OPERATION
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
etc., the gas line is likely to be filled with air. You may have to
repeat the lighting procedure several times to purge the air out
of the gas lines.
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 (E) to the highest setting.
3. Turn the energy selector (A) to position "GAS".
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.
FIG. 1
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.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE

The position number refers to fig.1.
It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal op-
erating 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 ULP gas operation the refrigerator
is controlled by a thermostat and the thermostat knob (E)
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 travel catch is integrated in the handle. Make sure that the
travel catch is engaged when the caravan is on the move.
