Electrolux Operating Instructions for Refrigerators: Models RM 4200, RM 4210, and RM 4211

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROLS

The refrigerator can be run on either 230 V, 12 V or LP gas. Changing between these modes of operation is car- ried out by means of the controls of the control panel shown in fig 3.

Two rocker switches are used to select the electric power supply, one for 230 V (B) and one for 12 V (A).

Refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (C) when the unit runs on 230 V.

The gas supply is turned on/off by means of the knob (D). It also serves to select one of three differnt gas inputs.

The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device which auto- matically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The safety device can be opened manually by depressing knob (D).

In model RM 4201/11, the gas flame is electronically lit, monitored and relit if necessary. For this the toggle switch

(F) should be “on” during gas operation.

An indicator lamp in the switch flashes when the automa- tic igniter attempts to light the burner. Otherwise this lamp is off.

In model RM 4200/10 a manual piezo-eletric igniter is used. When the button (G) is pressed, sparks are genera- ted at the burner.

Inside the refrigerator at bottom left is a sight glass for the burner. A blue light can be seen through it when the flame is alight (RM 4200/10).

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

CAUTION!

Only use one source of energy at a time.

The position numbers refer to fig. 3.

LP Gas operation

After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylin- ders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the ref- rigerator or other appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.

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.Check that the switches for mains and 12 V operation are off.

If you have Model RM 4201/11 proceed as follows:

3.Turn on the gas supply by pressing the (D) knob and turning it to the position ”big flame”.

4.Throw on switch (E). A light in the switch should now start to flash, indicating that sparks are being genera- ted at the burner.

5.Depress the knob (D) of the flame failure device.

6.When the flame lights, the sparking stops automatically and the switch stops flashing.

7.Keep the (D) button pressed for a further 10 to 15 seconds to active the flame failure device, then release

it.

If you have Model RM 4200/10 proceed as follows:

3.Turn the gas control (D)nto position "MAX".

4.Depress the knob (D) of the flame failure device and hold it down while depressing the piezoelectric igniter button (F) several times in quick succession.6. Keep the (D) buttom pressed for a further 10 to 15 seconds then release it.

5.Check the sight glass that the flame is alight.

6.Keep the knob (D) depressed for a further 10-15 seconds.

7.Release the knob and again check that the flame stays alight.

The flame can be observed in a wiewing glass inside the refrigerator at the bottom left (RM 4200/10).

To terminate gas operation, turn knob (D) to “λ” and (when applicable) set switch (F) to “0”.

230 V Operation

￿Turn off gas or 12 V operation when applicable.

￿Turn the knob (C) of the thermostat to its highest (coldest) position.

￿Set switch (B) to position I. The switch will light up green when the power supply is connected.

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.

￿If applicable, turn off the gas operation.

￿Set the 12 V rocker switch (A) to I. The switch will light up red when the power supply is connected.

WINTER OPERATION

Please check that the ventilation grilles or the flue outlet are not blocked by snow, leaves etc.

ELECTROLUX ventilation grilles A 1620 (fig 2), can be fitted with winter covers, model WA 120, to protect the cooling unit against cold air. The covers may be fitted when the outside temperature is below approx. 10°C and should be fitted when the temperature is below the freezing point.

We suggest that you fit the winter covers also in the case that the vehicle is laid up during the winter months.

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE

The position number refers to fig. 3.

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 230 V operation the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat and the thermostat knob (C) 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.

On LP gas operation the refrigerator temperature is regu- la-ted by the gas thermostat (E), which should be set at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is desired, set the thermostat to a higher figure.
