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 4281, 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 4280 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 4280)
TARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
Caution!
Only use one source of energy at a time
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.
f you have Model RM 4281 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 secon-
ds to active the flame failure device, then release it.
f you have Model RM 4280 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 (RM4280).
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.
