3. Cleaning

Clean both the inside and outside of the

appliance before putting it into use.

To do so, use a soft towel, lukewarm water and a

non abrasive detergent. Ensure water does not

enter the rear cover grill or the control panel.

Afterwards, wipe the appliance with a clean towel

and cleanwater, and then wipe it dry.

To avoid damage, do not use soap, soda or

abrasive cleaners.

4. Positioning the appliance

During the refrigeration process, the appliance

gives off heat from the condenser (under the

upper part of the rear cover) into the surrounding air.

The more ventilated the condenser is, the more

effective the refrigeration will be.

For maximum performance the appliance must be

level at all times when operating. If the appliance is

operating in a moving vehicle, the amount of the

refrigeration will be slightly less than if the appliance

is level in a stationary position.This is caused by the

movement of the vehicle impairing the flow of the

refrigerant within the unit.

It is important that the appliance is not directly

exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an

oven, etc.).

5. Using the appliance

The cable for 230 Volt mains connection, the 12V

connection and the gas inlet are located on the rear

cover of the Freezer/Refrigerator (Figure 2).

5.1. Operating from 230 Volt

electrical mains

Make sure the voltage shown on the data plate of the

appliance matches that of the mains voltage to which

you wish to connect the appliance. Pull out the mains

connecting cable and connect it to a receptacle

earthed socket for connection.

When connecting the appliance for the first time, set

the thermostat to maximum; then, after about five

hours, set it back towards minimum, according to your

cooling needs. If you want to use the box as a freezer

then leave the thermostat setting on the maximum.

NB: Plug is provided according to specific

regulations in each country and may be different to

that shown.

Figure 2

Figure 4.

Figure 5.

5.2. Operating from 12 Volt

vehicle battery

Make sure the voltage shown on the data plate of the

appliance matches the voltage of the vehicle battery

(12V).

In 12V operation, the appliance runs continuously

without temperature control.

The appliance is supplied with a matching pair of

12 Volt MALE + FEMALE plugs (see 9,2

connection to vehicle power source).

For 12V operation, make sure, if the engine is not

running, that the switch is turned off. Otherwise, the

appliance will discharge the vehicle battery when in

operation.

5.3. Operating from LP bottled gas

Connection to the gas cylinder is described in

sections 9.3. and 9.4.

After opening the valve of the gas cylinder and

checking for gas leaks (Figure 4) turn thermostat to

maximum position, press down the gas safety valve

and at the same time, press the piezo ignition button

(marked with a star) several times in quick succession.

If the flame does not ignite, repeat the process. (Air in

the appliance gas line prior to connection to the gas

cylinder must be purged. Only then can the gas be lit.)

Ignition of the flame can be verified through the flame

view opening (Figure 5). After you have the flame

alight keep the safety gas valve pressed down for a

further 10 seconds.

The thermostat should be set to a maximum symbol to

get the freezer function. To use the cooling function

the thermostat should be set towards minimum,

depending on the ambient temperature.

6. Useful suggestions

When setting out on a trip, run the appliance on

230 V (in thermostat setting between min and

max for cooling and "max" for freezing) for 24

hours prior to departure. Place food in a pre cooled

condition into the appliance.

Frost forms on the evaporator panel when in

operation. When opening the lid or putting in food,

some of this frost melts and collects in the form of

water on the bottom of the appliance. Wipe the

water off occasionally using a sponge.

Avoid putting foods with fragile packaging (such as

glass) into the refrigeration unit. Movements and

shaking of the unit may cause these items to break.

Once the F 400 is in its permanent position, make

sure foods do not come into contact with the

evaporator panel, as this can cause freezer burn to

the foods.

The appliance is not operated on 12 Volts when

your vehicle is parked, otherwise you will drain the

battery in a short time.

Only one power source is used at a time to run the

appliance.

7. Defrosting, cleaning and

maintenance

For defrosting, always unplug the appliance from an

electrical power source to avoid the risk of shock.

Make sure no other power source is connected (gas

or 12V). Remove food from the refrigeration unit and

leave the lid open. Depending on the temperature,

frost melts in a short time from the evaporator panel,

with water collecting at the bottom of the appliance.

Wipe it off using a towel. Afterwards, clean the

appliance by following the instructions in section 3.

Leave the lid ajar to prevent any odours from forming.

The appliance is serviced depending on use, at least

once a year by an authorised service agent.

8. rouble shooting

Before calling a service technician please check

carefully the operating instructions, service booklet

and the warranty terms and conditions:

Are location and ventilation satisfactory?

Is the appliance level?

Is there a current in the wall socket and is the

connection suitable for the appliance?

Is the mains power cable damaged?

For mains operation, is the electric thermostat

swiched on?

For gas operation, was the safety valve knob

pressed down long enough?

Is the thermostat knob set towards the maximum

position?

Is the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator valve

open?

Is there any gas in the cylinder? (If by shaking, no

liquid movement can be detected, then the cylinder

is empty.)

Is more than one power source connected (such as

gas or electricity)?

Was warm food placed in the unit?

Was a large quantity of food put in at one time?

9. Putting into operation

You must, in all instances, operate the

appliance from a single energy source only.

Connecting several energy sources at the same time

will cause failure of the appliance.

echnical data:

9.1 Connecting to 230 Volt

electrical mains

Make sure no other energy source is connected

(gas, 12V).

The appliance may only be operated from nominal

voltage mains as shown on the data plate. The

9.2 Connecting to 12 Volt vehicle

battery

Make sure no other energy source is connected (gas,

230V).

The 12V female socket is on the backwall of the

appliance, while the male plug is an accessory

supplied with your new F 400.

Connect the wires from the 12 Volt battery to the male

plug (see recommended 12 Volt wiring for vehicle).

Secure earth wire firmly (Polarity is not important).

See fig. 6.

Attention: Connection to the positive pole may

only be made through a 16A fuse!

The 12V operation is cut off by disconnecting the plug.

Push the fixing tab with a screw driver as can be seen

in fig. 7. after that the plug can be disconnected.

Recommended 12 Volt wiring for vehicle:

Two wires must be run direct to the battery one to

each terminal. These wires must be no less than 6

mm2auto cable and kept to a practical minimum

length. A 16 Amp fuse must be fitted in the positive

lead as close as practical to the battery terminal. A 16

Amp switch may be fitted in a convenient position to

switch the current on or off to the appliance.

All electrical connections must be of good quality to

avoid voltage drop.

Note: it is NOT recommended to run this 12 Volt

appliance from a 12 Volt cigarette lighter outlet.

9.3 Connecting to LP gas cylinder

Make sure no other energy source is connected

(230V, 12V).

The unit must not be connected to town or natural gas

pipelines. It is only suitable for use with propane gas.

The F 400 is equipped for a specific gas pressure,

2.75kPa (11 w. g.) . The rating plate states the

pressure that is correct. It is important that a non

adjustable pressure regulator is used to reduce the

pressure in the gas cylinder to the operating pressure

specified on the rating plate. No other pressure may

be used.

Needle valve operated gas control taps are NOT

suitable for use with this appliance and must not be

used as a substitute for a pressure regulator.

Figure 6.

Figure 7.

9.4 Connection of gas supply

Always connect in the following sequence:

GAS BOTTLE →PRESSURE REGULATOR →

→ APPLIANCE.

To connect the appliance to the pressure regulator

SUREFLEX ARMOURED FLEXIBLE PIPE should be

used. This can be ordered through CALOR GAS

dealers, caravan accessory shops, or direct from the

manufacturer, The Lunken Co. Ltd.

When ordering the Sureflex Pipe, it must be specified

which type of connector is required at each end:

a) if the pressure regulator outlet has a 3/8" B.S.P.

female thread, the pipe must have a 3/8" B.S.P.

male thread at one end;

b) if the pressure regulator has a ridged nozzle outlet

instead of a thread, the pipe must have a special

connector at one end.

To connect this to the pressure regulator, first

unscrew the nut (3) and place it tgether with the sleeve

(2) onto the nozzle of the regulator. The shouldered

end of the sleeve should face away from the regulator!

Remove the rubber '0'ring (1) and push it over the end

of the nozzle so that it locates in the first corrugation.

Push the threaded end ot the Sureflex Pipe against

the end of the nozzle, then screw up the nut,

tightening the assembly with spanners to make a gas

tight joint.

In both of the above instances, the other end of the

Sureflex Pipe should terminate in a 1/4" o.d.

extension piece. In order to connect this to a 1/8"

B.S.P. female threaded gas inlet of the appliance a

coupling which has a 1/8" B.S.P. male thread at

one end and a nut and 1/4" olive connection at the

other end to suit the 1/4" o.d. extension piece

(such as manufactured by Wade Couplings Ltd.

under their part number 4063/1 is needed.

When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the

appliance by applying a fork spanner, hold

counterpart to avoid straining and possibly

damaging.

The gas bottle (Propane) may only be used in an

upright position and particular care must be taken

every time the appliance is connected to the gas

bottle to ensure that there are no leaks, that the

tubing (rubber hose) is not under tension or kinked,

and that it is not in contact with hot surfaces.

The tubing and the gas bottle should always be

located in positions where they will not be tripped

over or otherwise inadvertently disturbed.

Before attempting to light the burner, every time

after connection, turn on the gas at the bottle and

check the gas connections for leaks by applying a

soap and water solution over them and watching for

bubbles, which would indicate a leak.

After testing dry off traces of detergent.

For your safety:

Do not check for leaks with a naked flame! Do not smoke while checking for leaks!
