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.

TARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

Caution!

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.

. 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.

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

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.

ostat and the thermostat knob (C) should be set at 3-5. If
