Gas Operation (Liquid Gas)
The refrigerator must be operated using
liqueed gas (propane or butane NOT
natural gas or town gas) When using
LPG please consider that the burner
needs cleaning at shorter intervals
due to the gas combustion method
(annually)
For physical reasons, ignition faults
could occur starting from an altitude
above sea level of approx. 1000m/3280
ft. (No malfunction!)
On the initial refrigerator start-up or
after a cylinder change, air may be
trapped in the gas line. To purge the air
from the lines, switch on the refrigerator
and any other gas appliances (e.g.
stove) for a short time. The gas ignites
without delay.
As a basic rule, gas operation is
prohibited in petrol stations.
Prior to starting the refrigerator in gas mode:
Open the gas cylinder valve.
Open the shut-off valve for gas supply to the
refrigerator.
