PERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ONTROLS
he refrigerator can be run on either 230 V, 12 V or LP gas.
hanging between these modes of operation is carried out
y means of the controls of the control panel shown in fig 3.
wo rocker switches are used to select the electric power
upply, one for 230 V (B) and one for 12 V (A).
efrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (C)
hen the unit runs on 230 V. The gas supply is turned
n/off by means of the knob (D). When lighting the gas, one
ust press in the knob as explained further on.
efrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (E)
hen the refrigerator runs on LP gas. Please note that the
hermostat has no ``off'' position.
n model RM 4213, the gas flame is electronically lit, moni-
ored and relit if necessary. For this the toggle switch (F)
hould be ``on'' during gas operation.
n indicator lamp in the switch flashes when the automatic
gniter attempts to light the burner. Otherwise this lamp is
ff.
n model RM 4212 a manual piezo-eletric igniter is used.
hen the button (G) is pressed, sparks are generated at
he burner.
nside the refrigerator at bottom left is a sight glass for the
urner. A blue light can be seen through it when the flame
s alight. (RM 4212)
TARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
he position numbers refer to fig. 3.
Caution!
Only use one source of energy at a time
P Gas operation
fter initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
tc., the gas pipes may contain some air which should be
llowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or
ther appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights
mmediately.
o start gas operation:
. Open the shut-off valve of the gas bottle (check that there
is enough gas). Open any on-board shut-off valve.
. Check that the switches for mains and 12 V operation are
off.
f you have Model RM 4213 proceed as follows:
. Turn on the gas supply by pressing the (D) knob and
turning it to the position
. Set the thermostat knob (E) to the highest setting.
. Depress switch (F). A light in the switch should now start
to flash, indicating that sparks are being generated at the
burner.
. Press the (D) button. This opens the flame failure device
and allows gas to flow to the burner.
. When the flame lights, the sparking stops automatically
and the switch stops flashing.
. Keep the (D) button pressed for a further 10 to 15 sec.
to active the flame failure device, then release it.
f you have Model RM 4212 proceed as follows:
. Turn on the gas supply by pressing the (D) knob and
turning it to the position
. Set the thermostat knob (E) to the highest setting.
. Keeping the flame failure device buttom (D) pressed,
operate the igniter (G) until the flame lights.
. Keep the (D) buttom pressed for a further 10 to 15 se-
conds then release it.
he flame can be observed in a wiewing glass inside the
efrigerator at the bottom left (RM4212).
o terminate gas operation, turn knob (D) to ``●'' and (when
pplicable) set switch (F) to ``0''.
30 V Operation
● Turn off gas or 12 V operation when applicable.
● Turn the knob (C) of the thermostat to its highest (col-
dest) position.
● Set switch (B) to position I. The switch will light up green
when the power supply is connected.
2 V Operation
nly operate your refrigerator on 12 V when the engine of
he vehicle is running - otherwise your battery will soon be
ischarged.
● If applicable, turn off the gas operation.
● Set the 12 V rocker switch (A) to I. The switch will light
up red when the power supply is connected.
INTER OPERATION
lease check that the ventilation grilles or the flue outlet are
ot blocked by snow, leaves etc.
LECTROLUX ventilation grilles A 1620 (fig 2), can be
itted with winter covers, model WA 120, to protect the
ooling unit against cold air. The covers may be fitted when
he outside temperature is below approx. 10°C and should
e fitted when the temperature is below the freezing point.
e suggest that you fit the winter covers also in the case
hat the vehicle is laid up during the winter months.
EGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
he position number refers to fig. 3.
t will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal
perating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in
dvance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled
oodstuffs.
n 230 V operation the refrigerator is controlled by a ther-
ostat and the thermostat knob (C) should be set at 3-5. If
lower (colder) temperature is desired, set the thermostat
o a higher figure.
n 12 V operation the refrigerator works continuously.
n LP gas operation the refrigerator temperature is regula-
ed by the gas thermostat (E), which should be set at 3-5. If
lower (colder) temperature is desired, set the thermostat
o a higher figure.

RAVEL CATCH
ake sure that the travel catch is engaged when the cara-
an is on the move, (fig 1).
he travel catch at the top of the door can be set in two
ifferent positions. In one position the door is held tightly
hut. In the other position the door is secured ajar so that
he refrigerator can be aired when not in use.
OOD STORAGE
lways keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food
n the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
ever keep items in the refrigerator which might give
ff flammable gases.
he 2-star (**) frozen food compartment is intended for the
torage of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable
or freezing items of food.
ever put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food
torage compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also
on't give children ice lollies straight from the frozen food as
hey could cause frost burns.
ost kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food
ompartment for about a month. This period of time may
ary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions
n the individual packets.
CE MAKING
t is practical to make ice during the night - then the refrigeator is less demanded and the cooling unit has more reser-
es. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim with drinking
ater and place it on the freezer shelf.
o speed up the ice making, one can spill one or two
poonfuls of water on the freezer shelf to improve the con-
act to the ice tray. If you have more than one ice tray it is a
ood idea to make ice in advance and save the frozen trays
n the frozen food compartment.
EFROSTING
rost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating sur-
aces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as
n insulator and adversely affects refrigerator perfor-mance.
heck the formation of frost regularly every week and when
t gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.
o defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and
ll food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items
f fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so
hey should be consumed within 24 h or discarded.
o not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of
eating appliance, as this might damage the plastic sur-
aces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects
e used to scrape off the ice.
he defrost water runs from a collector channel to a recep-
acle at the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates.
efrost water in the freezer compartment should be mop-
ed up with a cloth.
hen the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and
estart it. Place the food items back inside but wait until the
efrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.
LEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
lean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh
nd hygienic.
oak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicaronate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the
loth and use it to clean the interior of the refrigerator and
ts fittings.
ever use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented
roducts or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrigera-
or as they may damage the surfaces and leave a strong
dour.
he exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now
nd again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of deterent. But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned
ith soap and water and then thoroughly dried.
URNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
f the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
. Set any switches to 0.
. Set the gas valve (D) to ●.
. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the refrige-
rator.
. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described
earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and the frozen
food compartment ajar. Use the travel catch to hold in
this position.
. When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time
(e.g. during the winter months), we suggest fitting the
winter covers WA 120, fig. 2, onto the vent grills.
F THE `FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
heck the following points before calling a service techician:
. That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instructions
have been followed.
. The refrigerator is level.
. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the
connected sources of energy.
. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:
● That the gas bottle is not empty.
● That all LP-gas valves are open.
. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check:
● That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigerator.
● That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact.
● That the 12 V switch is on.
. If the refrigerator fails to work on 230 V, check:
● That the 230 V supply is connected to the refrigerator.
● That the fuse is intact.
f the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:
. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of
the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from
wire mesh etc).
