REFRIGERATORS
Before using your refrigerator for the first
time, it is advisable to wash the interior and
its accessories.
When using the refrigerator on gas ensure that
the gas isolation tap is fully open by turning
the knob to the vertical position. The tap can
generally be found inside the sink unit or within
the wardrobe (model specific). When travelling
the fridge can only be Operated in the 12V mode.
Note: Before operating the refrigerator on
12V, it should be pre-cooled, together with
its contents, by running it on gas or 230V for
a few hours before changing over to 12V for
your journey.
The current drain is approximately 7A to 14A
(model specific) and power is only available
when the ignition circuit is switched on. On
site, only the mains electric or gas modes
should be used.
The refrigerator can run on either 230V, 12V
or LP gas. Changing between these modes
of operation is carried out by means of the
controls on the control panel.
Caution: Only use one source of energy
at a time.
After initial installation, servicing or changing gas
cylinders etc., the gas lines may contain some
air which should be allowed to escape by briefly
turning on the refrigerator or other appliances.
This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.
The flame failure device will automatically shut
off the gas to the burner if the flame is blown
out. On electric ignition versions, the flame
failure device will also shut off the gas if the
burner does not re-light within about a minute
of the flame being blown out.
