The refrigerator can be run on
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 automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The safety device can be operated manually by pressing the button (C).

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
All references are to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air that should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.

If the lamp start flashing again, repeat step
To terminate gas operation, turn the knob (A) to "OFF" 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.
•Turn the thermostat knob (D) to its highest (coldest) position.
•Set the energy selector (A) to position "AC".
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.
•Set the energy selector (A) to position "DC".
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number refers to fig.1.
It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in advance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled foodstuffs.
On
On 12 V operation the refrigerator works continuously.
TRAVEL CATCH
The refrigerator is equipped with two travel catches. Make sure that both are 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 storage of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable for freezing items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of soft drinks in the frozen food storage compartment as they may burst when freezing.
Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food compartment for about a month. This period of time may vary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions on the individual packages.
