It must be of a type approved for use with continuously operating bottled gas appliances, and have threaded compression connections throughout.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet pipe (outside diameter 8 mm) by means of a suitable
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 which is readily accessible 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outlet side of the cock and the pipework should be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.
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.
For connection to a

In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refriger- ator must be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a 13 amp. (B.S. 1363) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp. fuse, ASTA approved to B.S. 1362. In other countries, the fuse rating will depend upon the voltage and local practice.
230-240 V Supplies.

Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator.
12 V Supplies
The 12 V connection of the refrigerator is shown in fig. 4. Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery or alter- nator by a direct cable, (check the polarity).
The connection is made to the terminal block (fig. 4 "Heater"). To avoid a voltage drop, the cross section area of the connecting cable between battery/alternator and the refrigerator must be 10 mm2.
To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at max. 20 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. 4 "Reigni- ter, Lamp"). Be careful not to make the wrong positive and negative connections.
The reigniter should not be connected directly to a battery charger but only over a battery.
