start flashing.

4. Push the button (C) in until it reaches the bottom -

and hold. This opens the flame failure device and

allows gas to flow to the burner.

5. When the flame lights, the sparking stops automati-

cally and the lamp stops flashing.

6. Hold the button (C) an additional 10-15 seconds to

activate the flame failure device, then release it.

If the lamp start flashing again, repeat step 4-6.

position.

230-240 V operation

Before operating the refrigerator, check that the voltage

stated on the data plate is the same as the main voltage

in use.

1. Turn the thermostat knob (D) to its highest (coldest)

position.

2. Set the energy selector (A) to position “AC”.

3. To shut off the refrigerator, turn the knob (A) to

“OFF” position.

12 V operation

Only operate your refrigerator on 12 V when the engine

of the vehicle is running - otherwise your battery will soon

be discharged.

1. Set the energy selector (A) to position “DC”.

2. Note: there is no thermostat function on 12 V opera-

tion, the refrigerator works continuously.

3. To shut off the refrigerator, turn the knob (A) to “OFF”

position.

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE

The position number refers to fig.1.

It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach nor-

mal operating temperature. So we suggest you start it

well in advance of a trip and if possible store it with

precooled foodstuffs.

On 230-240 V operation and LP gas operation the re-

frigerator is controlled by a thermostat and the thermo-

stat 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 caravan 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 that might give

off flammable gases.

The frozen food compartment is intended for the stor-

age of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable

for freezing items of food.

The refrigerator can be run on 230-240 V, 12 V or LP

gas. Changing between these 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” (230-

240 V), “DC” (12 V), “GAS” (LP gas) or “OFF”.

An indicator lamp (B) at the control panel flashes when

the automatic igniter attempts to light the burner.

Otherwise this lamp is off.

The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device that auto-

matically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes

out. The safety device can be operated manually by

pressing the button (C).

The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermo-

stat (D) when the refrigerator runs on 230-240 V and LP

gas. Please note that the thermostat has no “off” posi-

tion when the refrigerator runs on LP gas.

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

All references are to fig. 1.

WARNING!

FIG. 1

LP Gas operation

After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylin-

may have to repeat the lighting procedure several times

to purge the air out of the gas lines.

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.
