230V Operation
12V Operation
In order to prevent discharge of the on-board
battery, 12V operation should only be used
while the motor is running.
Gas Operation (Liquid Gas)
The refrigerator must be operated using
!
liquefied gas (propane or butane NOT natural
gas or town gas)
consider that the burner needs cleaning at
shorter intervals due to the gas combustion
method (annually)
For physical reasons, ignition faults could occur
starting from an altitude above sea level of
approx. 1000m/3280 ft. (No malfunction!)
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.
As a basic rule, gas operation is prohibited in
petrol stations.
Prior to starting the refrigerator in gas mode:
Open the gas cylinder valve.
Open the shut-off valve for gas supply to the refrigerator.
