The supply pipe should preferable be of copper. If any

other material is used, it must be of a type approved for

use with continuously operating bottled-gas appliances

and have threaded connections throughout.

All connectors etc. should be of a type specifically de-

signed for the type and diameter of the connection pipe

used, and screwed joints should be sealed with a joining

compound approved for use with bottled-gas.

The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas

inlet connection at the rear of the refrigerator by means

of a suitable threaded coupling.

The connection nipple is furnished with an ISO 7/1 - Rp

1/8 internal pipe thread connection.

In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas

cock of an approved type bottled gas must be incorpo-

rated in the supply line in a position that is readily acces-

sible to the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the

union should be on the outlet side of the cock and the

pipework should be positioned so as not to prevent the

refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.

All completed connections should be checked for leaks

with soapy water.

WARNING!

DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.

On completion of installation, the system must be

pressure tested by a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper

and durable manner; taking into accounts all relevant

regulations and codes of practice.

For mains voltage operation, it is important that the

circuit to and in the caravan is effectively earthed.

The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (ground-

ing) plug for your protection against shock hazards and

should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-

prong receptacle. DO NOT cut off or remove the ground-

ing prong from this plug. The free length of the cord is

1.8 m and therefore recommended that the receptacle

be located to the left side of the refrigerator (viewed from

the rear) and approximately 100-150 mm from the floor.

This allows easy access through the vent door.

230-240 V Supplies.

Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the

same as the main voltage in use (230-240 V).

Plug the 230-240 V refrigerator power cord into an eas-

ily accessible wall socket.

12 V Supplies

The 12 V connection of the refrigerator is shown in fig. 7.

Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery or alterna-

tor by a direct cable; (check the polarity).

The connection is made to the terminal block (fig. 7

“Heater”).

The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative

(-) terminals of the terminal block. Correct polarity must

be observed when connecting to the 12 volt DC supply.

Do not use the chassis or the vehicle frame as one of

the conductors.

Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route directly

to the 12 volt DC supply.

To avoid a voltage drop, the cross section area of the

connecting cables between battery/alternator and the re-

frigerator must be 10 mm

To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must

be fitted with a fuse rated at 25 A.

To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make

sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off

when the vehicle engine is not running, for example by

fitting an ignition control relay.

12 V supply of reigniter and interior light

The reigniter and the interior light must be connected to

a separate 12 V battery.

Connect the battery to the terminal block (fig. 7 “Reigniter,

Lamp”). Be careful not to make the wrong positive and

negative connections.

The reigniter should not be connected directly to a bat-

tery charger but only over a battery.

Interior light - bulb - change

If the bulb has to be replaced, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the cover from the lamp body by pushing it

backwards.

2. Remove the bulb.

3. Put in a new bulb (12 V, max. 5 W). Spare part

number for bulb: 200 72 90-03.

4. Push the lamp cover back in place.

Electrical leads must be routed and secured so

that they cannot come into contact with hot or

sharp parts of the refrigerator.
