STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
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
automatically and the lamp stops
flashing.
6. Hold the button (C) an additional 10-15
seconds to activate the flame failure
device, and then release it. If the lamp
starts flashing again, repeat steps 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 select (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
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 pre-cooled
foodstuffs.
On 230-240 V operation and LP gas
operation the refrigerator is controlled by a
thermostat and the thermostat 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.
