OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS
FIG. 1
The refrigerator can be run on either 230-240 V,12 V or
LP gas. Changing between t hese modes of operation is
carried out by means of the control buttons positioned
as shown in fig. 1.
The energy selector (A) can be set at either "AC" (230240 V), "DC" (12 V), "GAS" (LP gas) or "OF F" .
5. When the flame lights, th e spark ing stops aut o mati cally 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 start flashing again, repeat step 4-6.
To terminate gas operation, turn the knob (A) to "OFF"
position.
230-240 V 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 "A C".
12 V operation
Only operate your refriger ator 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".
An indicator lamp (B) at the control panel flashes when
the automatic igniter at tem pts to light the b u rner. 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 by
depressing knob (C).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (D) when the refrigerator runs on 230-240 V and LP
gas. Please note that the thermostat has no "off" position
when the refrigerator runs on LP gas.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
All references are to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
etc., the gas pipes ma y co ntain some ai r wh ich shoul d b e
allowed to escape by brie fly turni ng on the ref rige rator 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 fl ow to th e burn er.
WINTER OPERATION
Please check that the vent ilation grilles or the flue outlet
are not blocked by snow, leaves etc.
Some caravans with outside ventilation may have so
called winter covers, to protect the cooling unit against
cold air (ask your dealer). The covers may be fitted when
the outside temperature is below approx. 10°C and
should be fitted when the temperature is below the
freezing point.
We suggest that you fit the winter covers also in the case
that the vehicle is laid up during the winter months.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number ref ers to fig.1.
It will take a f ew hours for the r efrigerator to reach normal
operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well
in advance of a trip and if possib le store it with precooled
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.
TRAVEL CATCH
The travel catch is integrated in the handle. Make sure
that the travel catch is engaged when the cara v an is on
the move.
FOOD STORAGE
Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot
food in the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
Never keep items in the refrigerator which might
give off flammable gases.
