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 4271, the gas flame is electronically lit, moni-

he position numbers refer to fig. 3.

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.

. 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 secon-

ds to active the flame failure device, then release it.

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.
