Fig. 1
The refrigerator can be run on either mains electric or LP gas.
Changing between these modes of operation is carried out by
means of control buttons positioned as shown in fig. 1.
The energy selector (A) can be set at either I (= 230 V),
(= LP gas) or 0 (= off).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (B).
Please note that the thermostat has no “off” position.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device that automatically
shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The safety
device can be opened manually by pressing the button (C).
The piezoelectric igniter discharges sparks over the burner
when the button (D) is pressed.
In the flame viewer (E) you can see a blue light when the gas
flame is lit.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
The position numbers refer to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
etc., the gas pipes may contain some air, which should be al-
lowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other
appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.
Make sure that all valves between the gas container and
the refrigerator are open.
Turn the energy selector (A) to position .
Push the button (C) in until it reaches the bottom - and
hold, push the button (D) for the piezo igniter several
times to light the burner.
Check the flame indicator (E) to see if the flame is lit.
Keep the button (C) pressed for a further 10-15 seconds.
Release the button (C) and check that the flame is alight.
To terminate gas operation, turn knob (A) to 0.
Electric operation
Set the energy selector (A) to position I. To shut off the refrig-
erator, turn the knob (A) to 0.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number refers to fig. 1.
It will take several hours for the refrigerator to reach normal
operating temperature. A thermostat controls the temperature
of the main compartment of the refrigerator. The thermostat
knob (B) should be set at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is
desired set the thermostat to a higher figure.
FOOD STORAGE
Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food in
the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
Never keep items in the refrigerator that might give off
flammable gases.
The frozen food compartment is intended for the storage of
frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable for freezing
items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food stor-
age compartment as they may burst when freezing.
Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food
compartment for about a month. This period of time may vary,
however, and it is important to follow the instructions on the
individual packets.
ICE-MAKING
Fill the ice tray just below the brim with drinking water and
place it on the freezer shelf.
It is possible to make ice faster by turning the control knob
temporarily to its highest value but do not forget to turn it back
to its regular setting afterwards as the refrigerator might other-
wise become too cold.
