MODEL RM4501

The refrigerator can be run on 230V, 12 V
or LP gas. Changing between these modes
of operation is carried out by means of the
control buttons positioned as shown in
fig. C.
The energy selection (A) can be set at either
"AC" (230V), "DC" (12 V), "GAS" (LP gas) or
"OFF".
An indicator lamp (B) at the control panel
flashes when the automatic ignitor attempts
to light the burner. Otherwise this lamp is
off.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device,
which automatically shuts off the supply of
gas if the flame goes out. The safety device
can be opened manually be depressing knob
(C).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by
a thermostat (D) when the refrigerator runs
on 230V and LP gas. Please note that the
80
thermostat has no "off" position when the
D
refrigerator runs on LP gas.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing
gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may
contain some air, which 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. Press the button (C). 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. Keep the knob (C) depressed for another
10-15 seconds to activate the flame
failure device, then release it.
If the lamp starts flashing again, repeat steps
4-6.
To terminate gas operation, turn the knob (A)
to "OFF" position.
230V operation
Before taking the refrigerator into operation,
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 selector (A) to position "AC"
12 V operation
Only operate your refrigerator on 12 V when
the engine of the vehicle is running - other-
wise 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. We
therefore suggest you start it well in advance
of a trip and if possible store it with pre-
cooled foodstuffs.
On 230V 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.
