approved for use with continuously operating bottled- gas appliances, and have threaded compression connections

throughout. PUSH-ON CONNECTIONS MUST NOT BE

USED (We do not approve the use of ``rubber'' type flexible tubing for connecting permanently operating appliances of this type in the United Kingdom). All connectors etc. should be of a type specifically designed 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 pipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by means of a suitable threaded compression coupling.

In making the connection to the refrigerator, a gas cock of an approved type for use on LPG must be incorporated 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outlet side of the cock and the pipework should be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regula- tions and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation, it is important that the circuit to and in the caravan is effec- tively earthed. ALL MAINS VOLTAGE WIRING IN THE

CARA-VAN MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT I.E.E. REGULATIONS INCLUDING THE USE OF AN OUTLET AND COUPLER TO BS4343/- CEE17.

For connection to a 230 V electricity supply, the refrige-rator has a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connection to a properly earthed plug and socket outlet or fused spur.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW = EARTH

BLUE = NEUTRAL

BROWN = LIVE

As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, in the United Kingdom, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOWmust be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with

the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED !

In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrige-rator 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. In other countries, the fuse rating will depend upon the voltage and local practice.

230 V Supplies.

Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as the mains voltage in use (230 V).

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

Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery by a direct cable. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of the connecting cable between battery and refrigerator must be at least 2.5 mm2 if the distance is less than 9 meters, and at least 4 mm2 if the distance is more than 9 meters

To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at max. 16 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.

Diagramme for the mains installation: fig. 9

Diagramme for the 12 V installation:

The notations in the wiring diagramme are:

A. Electronic igniter/reigniter

B. Electrode (at burner)

C. 12 V heating element

D. Switch for 12 V operation

E. Switch for reigniter (gas op.)

F. Electric thermostat

G. Heating element, 230 V

H. Switch for 230 V operation

J. Terminal block

12 V supply of reigniter (RM 4213)

Fig. 12 shows the wiring diagramme of the refrigerator as delivered. The 12 V supply enters at (L). The reigniter (A) is fed via two wires (1) and (2) at terminal block (L).

It is advisable to feed the reigniter and the lighting from a separate 12 V source. To do this: remove the wires (1) and

(2) and connect the supply as is shown in fig. 11.

In some executions there in an extra terminal block (J), of fig. 12. In this case one disconnects the wires as said above but connects the separate supply to (J).

The reigniter should not be connected directly to a battery charger but only over a battery.

RM 4212, RM 4213 specifications

The Electrolux RM 4213 and RM 4212 are part of a modern line of absorption refrigerators designed to meet the demands of mobile living, making them ideal choices for camper vans, caravans, and other recreational vehicles. These models offer an innovative blend of convenience and efficiency, tailored for users seeking reliable cooling solutions while on the road.

One of the key features of the RM 4213 and RM 4212 is their advanced absorption technology. This system utilizes ammonia and water as refrigerants, functioning silently and without moving parts. This means minimal noise levels, ensuring a peaceful environment whether during travel or stationary camping. The absence of a compressor also allows for greater energy efficiency, crucial for travelers relying on battery power or limited energy sources.

The RM 4213 and RM 4212 boast a generous storage capacity, providing ample space for food and beverages. With adjustable shelving and versatile storage compartments, these models enable users to organize their items effectively, catering to various needs while on the go. The robust design is also built to withstand the rigors of travel, ensuring durability and longevity.

A notable characteristic of both models is their multi-power source capability. They can operate on 12V, 230V, or gas, allowing users to switch between power sources based on availability. This flexibility makes them highly adaptable, whether parked at a campsite with electrical hookups or venturing off-grid using gas.

In terms of user experience, the RM 4213 and RM 4212 come equipped with user-friendly controls that simplify temperature adjustments. They also feature a lockable door for added security, preventing accidental openings during travel. The sleek, modern design fits seamlessly into the aesthetic of contemporary interiors, adding a touch of style to any mobile living space.

Efficiency is further enhanced by the models' excellent insulation, which helps maintain consistent internal temperatures and reduces energy consumption.
