Before using your refrigerator, please study the following instructions.
1. CI,E,{NING THE REITRIGERATOR
Before using the refrigerator, you should tvipe it inside and outside r{ith
lukewarm water containing a mild detergent. From time to tjre, the pVC-
seal of the 1id should be rubbed with a bit of talcut powder. The absorber
mounted at the back side should be cleaned once a year with a brush or a
smooth c10th.
Z. INSTAII-ATION OF TT{E REFRICfiRIIIOR
The appliance should be placed in a horizontal losition although it is
tilt r.nsensitive. It must not be placed near heat-sources and direct sun-
light should be avoided. This has a detrimental effect on the cooling
performance and energy consunption.
A satisfactory circulation of air at the back of the unit is extremely
:mportant for the proper functioni-ng of a refrigerator. I4ake sure that
an adequate space (approx. l7o nrn) is maintained between the rva11 and
the back of the r-rnit so that a heat build-up affecting performance is
avoided. Great care nust be taken to ensure correct ventilation when a
refrigerator is installed in caravans or furniture. The installation
must be done in such a rnanner that there is a sufficient supDly of fresl-r
air fron underneath, and warn air can escaoe aborre the unit rdithout a
heat huild up. The ventilation slots rnust ilot he ohstnrcte{l f Fio. I l.

Gas Association in accordance with these instructions and rnust conply
with the relevant technical reguiations For liquid gas and any locil-
requirements which may app1y.
Installations in caravans and roadable vehicles nmst be carried out in
accordance with the prescri-ptions and national regulations for liquid
gas appliances and liquid gas heaters in vehicles.
The installati-on nust be carried out in such a narmer that easv access
to the appliance shut-off valve is ensured.
The supply of, conbustion air and the escape duct for waste-gas should
be close to where the refrigerator is placed. If no ruaste-gis duct to
atnosphere is provided, non-closing ventilation-apertures of a least lo
sq, an, free cross-section for air renewal nust be available for each
unit installed.
For the installation with waste-gas outlet to atrnosphe're, there are two
alternative systerns available ( Fig. 3A + 38 ).
Y-ou are supplied with a conplete v,raste-gas tube and accessory fittinqs.
ltfhen carrying out the lnstal1ation, care is to be taken that the total
length ( 12oo rrn ) of the flexible tube is not exceeded. Furthernore,
the tube rnust be laid rvith a rise of at least 15' and is to be secured
against shiftlng with the clips pror.ided ( Fig. 3A, 38, 5C ).
Should the operation of the r;nit after installation lead to a detectable
rise in te)nperature of the wa11s or f1oor, these parts of the vehicle
rmrst be lined with effective thermal insulation rnateri.al in the interests

The refrigerator can be operated by gas also during driving.
The appliance is designed only for operation rvith prooane/bltane.gas.
It hai-been set for uie at a specific gas-lressure - this is indicated
on the rating plate. It is important that a non-adjustable nressure-
regrlator should be used to reduce the cylinder-gas pressure to the
working-pressure indicated on the rating plate. The anpliance must not
be operated at any other pressure.
The iefrigerator is not designed for comectlon to rnains-.gas or nattrral
gas systems.

ATTTNTION J ]MPORTANT NOTE
safety regulations prohibit the use of this unit in a closed roon with
gas unless sufficient ventilation is provided. please take care that the
unit-,is lo!^fd by two sources of eneigy at the sane tirne, i.e. with
22o V and 12 V or gas. It will not funElion properly in this case and
damage nay be caused. Damage caused in this rnanner is not covered by
the guarantee.
4. DEFROSTING OF ]}IE REFRIGEMTOR
Too thick a layer of ice on the evaporator causes a deterioration in
the efficiency of the refrigerator.-This is why defrosti"g ii-"ecess".y
at certain intervals. Under no circunstances nust the laySr of ice on
the evaporator exceed 3-4 nrn.
For defrosting, cut oFF the supply o[ energy, In the case of pas opera_
tion' turn off the gas; for e1-cctiicai opeiition, turn the tnEnnoil"t
IsloD as tar as possible in the anticlockidse direction or pul1 out the
plug f19rn power-point. The defrosting water is collected in the drip
tray-which can,be pulled out and enptied. AJter defrosting has been'
conpleted, it is advi.sable to thoroughly clean the evaporitor and the
interior. of.the refrigerator. Never use-a heating appliance to ".."1
rerare tne detrostlng process since this can cause danage to the re_
rrlgerator.
The-door of your refrigerator is fitted with a pVC- seal to ensure
satrslactory closure. CIean this,seal thoroughly with clean water only
and never use any chenical additives.
If necessary, the interior of the-refrigerator and the evaporator nay
be cleaned with a weak soda solution in lukewarm water.
5. hi}WT TO Do I4]FIEN REFRIGEMTOR IS NOT TO BE USED FOR A LONG TIME
l,f you are not_going to use your refrigerator for some time, turn off
1: """ICy.supply (gas or electricity) and ernpty the refrigerator of
lt.s contents.
Defrost refrigerator and carefully clean and dry refrigerator.
To, prevent any unwanted odour frorn forming in tire inteiior, it is advi_
saDre to reave the door of the refrigerator slightly open.

3, Slacken counter-nut (part 2) of jet with 14 rm forked spanner and
take out guard (part 3).
4. Unscrew locking-plate (part 4) of burner-tube (part 5), slide burner
tube forward and take out jet (part 6) frorn duct.
5. The jet has a very small orifice and only cleeming petrol must be
used to clean it. After washing, blow through jet. Inspect jet
against thc light to check that it is really clcan, Under no cir-
cwnstances nust hard objects, such as needles, wire-bmshes etc.
be used to clean it.
6. Reassemble in the reverse order and then check unions for satisfac-
tory sealing in accordance with the safety rcgulations for liquid-
gas installations. When the burner-tube has to be changed, care
is to be taken that the hurner-slits point in the direction of the
gas heating-tube, i.e. upwards, and that the burner-brbe is preven-
ted from shifting by the locking-plate' When the lower part of the
gas-burner casing has to be stripped, care has to be taken during
the subsequent re-assenbly that the inspection-window for checking
the gas-f1ame ls fixed in the Cirection of the light-conductor iod
(towarCs the back of the casing).

Should there be any fault in the functioning of your refrigerator, first
check for the following causes since you nay be able to renedy the fault
yourself without having to take it to the after-sales service agent.
Is the vehicle standing at an excessive angle ?
Is the elrergy supply in order ? Is there voltage at the power-point?
Is there a satisfactory supply of gas ? Is the gas-burner alight?
Is the cooling unit properly ventilatecl? The ventilation grill and
the hot-air outlet at the back above the cabinet nnrst be conpletely
c1ear, Ensure that the li.ring area of the vehicle is well ventilated
in hot weather.
Is the therrnostat correctly set ?
In the case of gas operatlon and when turning on the refrigerator,
b)
d)
did you release the t<nob of the safety device too soon ?
f) Check the t)?e and quantity of the food and drink in the refrige-
rator, it should be so placed that a good circulation of air is
ensured inside the refrigerator. Please check that the door is
well sealed when closed. In the connectlon, renember that a thick
layer of ice on the evaporator has a negative effect on t-he cooling
performance and that defrosting rnust be carried out at certain
lnterval-s of time. Always nake sure that the refrigerator is pro-
perly closed and that food and liquids are only placed in.closed-
receptables in the refrigerator. A high relative air hundity will
caus-e ice to form on the evaporator which will act as an insulation
layer and affect the cooling performance. Do not place hot food
in the refrigerator.
If, in spite of these checkings, you canrt get a good.functioning
of your refrigerator, please contact after sales service, indicate
nature of trouble, type and serial mlnber of appliance.
