11.2 Connecting to vehicle power
source
Make sure no other energy source is connected (gas,
230V).
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.
11.3 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 mobilCooler is equipped for a specific gas-
pressure, corresponding to the standard pressure of
the country in which it is sold. The rating-plate states
the pressure that is correct. It is important that a non-
adjustable pressure-regulator is used to reduce the
pressure in the gas cylinder to the operating pressure
specified on the rating-plate. No other pressure may
be used.
Needle valve-operated gas control taps are NOT
suitable for use with this appliance and must not be
used as a substitute for a pressure regulator.
11.4 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 GAS TUBING should be used. This should
be minimum in length - have an inside dimension of
8mm and be marked BS3212/2/8.
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 srewing, connect
the two ends of the tubing to the nipples and secure
them with the two hose clipse. (Figure 11).
When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the
appliance (Figure 11), 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.
11.5 Connection of gas cartridge
As an option, a “mobiCool Gas Kit” can be
delivered. Please contact your distributor. The
instruction for use is supplied with the kit.
