Note: Before operating the refrigerator
on12V, it should be pre-cooled, together with
its contents, by running it on bottled gas or
230V for a few hours before changing over
to 12V and starting on a journey.
1. If applicable turn off the gas operation.
2. Set the 12V rocker switch (A) to I. The
switch will light up red when the power
supply is connected.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position numbers refer to Fig. B.
Once the refrigerator has been started it will
take a few hours to become cold.
On 230V 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 LP gas operation the refrigerator
temperature is regulated by the gas
thermostat knob (E), which should be set at
3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is
desired, set the thermostat at a higher figure.
On 12V operation the refrigerator works
continuously.
MODEL RM4501
The refrigerator can be run on 230V, 12 V
or LP gas. Changing between these modes
of operation is carried out by means of the
control buttons positioned as shown in
fig. C.
The energy selection (A) can be set at either
"AC" (230V), "DC" (12 V), "GAS" (LP gas) or
"OFF".
An indicator lamp (B) at the control panel
flashes when the automatic ignitor attempts
to light the burner. Otherwise this lamp is
off.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device,
which automatically shuts off the supply of
gas if the flame goes out. The safety device
can be opened manually be depressing knob
(C).
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by
a thermostat (D) when the refrigerator runs
on 230V and LP gas. Please note that the
thermostat has no "off" position when the
refrigerator runs on LP gas.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing
gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes 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.
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. Set the thermostat knob (D) to the
highest setting.
3. Turn the energy selector (A) to position
"GAS". A ticking sound will be heard and
the lamp (B) will start flashing.
4. Press the button (C). This opens the
flame failure device and allows gas to
flow to the burner.
5. When the flame lights, the sparking stops
automatically and the lamp stops
flashing.
6. Keep the knob (C) depressed for another
10-15 seconds to activate the flame
failure device, then release it.
If the lamp starts flashing again, repeat steps
4-6.
To terminate gas operation, turn the knob (A)
to "OFF" position.
