fit the manual control valve (fig. 2.2) with pressure

regulator (fig. 2.3) and hose to the

self-

contained

gas

cylinder (fig. 24) finger tight.

connect the gas hose to the inlet (fig. 2.5) at the back of the refrigerator.

insert the gas bottle assembly into the gas cylinder holder (fig. 2.1).

Once connected all gas connections must be checked for leaks. This is done by placing a

soapy solution on all gas connections, turn on the gas cylinder manual valve and watch for

bubbles.

For the detection of leaks never use an open flame.

If the gas

bottle

is empty remove it from the

bottle

holder, unscrew the manual control

valve/pressure regulator-assembly from the bottle and fit a new one.

visually through the opening (fig. 2.9). If the flame

is not burning,repeat ignition procedure.

if, for any reason, the gas flame goes out,

the

flame safety device works automatically and

shuts off the gas supply. While the button (fig. 2.7) is depressed, this device is temporarily

inoperative.

when the refrigerator is no longer run on gas,

turn

off the gas supply at the gas cylinder.

The 12 V circuit is not thermostatically regulated.

The knob (fig.

2.10) is useless for this energy source.

NOTE:

To stop the

electrical

120

V a.c. operation, turn electric thermostat knob (fig.

210) in the

anticlockwise direction

beyond

the point where a slight resistance is felt, to 0

setting.

For

safety reasons disconnect

it as well. To stop the

electrical

V d.c. operation, disconnect

voltage supply.

5. Regulations of temperature:

After a sufficient period of maximum

cooling

set the appropriate thermostat knob to the

middle

position. The cabinet will now automatically maintain a suitable temperature for

ordinary

food

storage.

Usually, no further

adjustment will be necessary, but in hot weather, or when more

cooling is required, the knob must be turned to a higher position. If less cooling

required,

the

knob should be turned to a lower position.

Storing

food in the refrigerator:

To prevent food drying out and flavours being transferred from one food to another, foods

should always be stored in covered dishes, plastic bags or wrapped in foil or greaseproof

paper. NEVER PUT HOT FOOD INTO THE REFRIGERATORI Avoid using large dishes and

do not store food containers too closely together as this interferes with the circulation of cold

air within the cabinet.

7. Ice-making:

Fill the ice-tray with drinking water to within

1/5

of the top and cover with lid. Wipe off any

drops of water which may be on the tray and lid to prevent freezing together and place on the

shelf

directly

beneath the refrigerating unit. Ice will be made more quickly when the thermostat

knob (6

or 10) is set to MAX

(7)

for

a short time. When ice has formed, ensure that the knob is

returned to its normal setting.

TO remove the ice, allow the ice-tray to thaw slightly for a while or run it under tap water at

normal temperature before removing the lid from the tray. The ice cubes can now be removed

easily from the tray.

8. Defrosting:

Ice will form gradually on the cooling fins. It is a mistake to assume that an accumulation of ice

gives a colder cabinet For the most eff

icient

and economical operation, the refrigerator should

be defrosted regularfy about every ten to fourteen days, depending on the particular

conditions of use. To defrost, turn off the gas cylinder valve or disconnect theelectricity supply

to the refrigerator, depending upon which energy source is used. Remove the ice-trays and

empty the refrigerator of food. Leave the cabinet lid open. The

ice

will melt and drop into the

interior.

When defrosting is completed, wipe the

ice-tray

support and the interior, dry carefully

with a clean doth.

NOTE:

Do not attempt to defrost more quickly by means of any form of heat, otherwise the plastic

surfaces may be damaged.

9. Cleaning:

Clean

the

refrigerator thoroughly, as necessary, partic

ularly when it is not going to be used for

any length of fme.

First defrost the cabinet as described in the previous item, then dean the

cabinet

interior and

lid with a clean cloth wrung out in warm water to which mild, unscented washing-up liquid has

been added. wipe over with a clean doth and

dry

thoroughly.

Do not place any plastic parts in water that is more than hand hot and do not expose them to

dry heat

The outside of the cabinet should be wiped

with

a dean, damp cloth and polished with a dean

soft duster.

NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE

CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY

PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR.

10.What to do when the refrigerator is not

going

to be used for a long time?

If you are not going

to use your refrigerator for sometime, turn off

the power supply (gas

electric) and empty the box of its contents. Defrost refrigerator and carefully dean and dry

interior. To prevent any unwanted odour from forming in the interior, it is advisable to leave the

lid slightly open,

that fresh air can circulate inside.

The ice-tray should be emptied, dried and replaced on the ice-tray support in the

cabinet.

supply pres

sure of

11 inches,

water gauge.

The orifice in the jet is very small and must never

be cleaned by means of a pin or a

similar

instrument, as this could damage

the

orifice. Should

the jet require deaning for some reason, it should be washed in alcohol and blown through

with air.

11.1

Cleaning gas burner and jet:

Once or twice a year, or depending on use, check whether the f&me is blue-coloured. For this
