3ACTION ON RECEIPT
Place the refrigerator in the coldest possible place inside a1
building. The refrigerator is tested to operate reliably in tem-
peratures up to 43 °C.
The room must be ventilated and free air circulation around the2
refrigerator is necessary.
Keep the refrigerator in the shade and away from heat of any3
kind.
Avoid draughts, such as door and window openings.4
Clearances to wall must be at least 30 mm (1.2”) and to roof at5
least 400 mm (15.7”).
Check that the door seals properly against the cabinet.6
If electricity is used, check that the voltage is correct.7
30 mm
Check the packing case for damages. In case you suspect any refrigerator damages, notify your supplier before1
unpacking.
U2 npack the refrigerator carefully.
Check the refrigerator. If it is damaged, notify your supplier.3
Check that the flue baffle is hanging inside the chimney.4
Read the operating instructions and follow them exactly.5

show the metal tank but the plastic tank is handled in exactly the same way. The instructions in the
manual therefore apply to both tank variants.
Unpack the burner.5
Remove the wick cleaner, if any, and put it aside.6

6PREPARATION BEFORE LIGHTING
Unpack burner glass, sealing ring and fit them to8
the burner.
Fit the burner into the tank. When fitting the Kos-9
mos burner use a tank adapter.

Fill the tank with the best quality household11
kerosene. The level indicator shows the kerosene
level.
Wipe the tank dry from kerosene if any has spilt.12
Allow the burner to soak for at least 2 hours be-13
fore lighting.

Turn the flame down to the smallest possible flame.5
Push the tank into the tank holder underneath the6
cabinet at the rear of the refrigerator. Slide the tank
carefully forwards against the guide pin.
Carefully lift the tank by means of the lever arm7
and check that the guide pin enters the hole in the
bracket on the left side of the burner.
Make sure that the sealing ring seals properly8
against the chimney. There must be no gap between
the chimney and the sealing ring.
Adjust the flame to medium flame and leave the9
refrigerator running for 3–4 hours.
For further adjustment, see “Regulating the tempera-10
ture > Kerosene operation”.

Remove the lamp glass with its sealing ring (pull1
carefully upwards).
Adjust the wick to about 1 mm (0.04”) above the2
wick guide.
Light the wick and allow the flame to travel around3
the wick.
Turn the flame very low. It should now be even. If it4
is not, the wick should be pressed down where the
flame is high. Usa a wire or screwdriver.
Replace the lamp glass with insert carefully.5
Push the tank into the tank holder underneath the6
cabinet at the rear of the refrigerator. Slide the tank
carefully forwards against the guide pin.
Carefully lift the tank by means of the lever arm7
and check that the guide pin enters the hole in the

9STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR USING ELECTRICITY
For good temperature control, the burner should be lit constantly. The refrigerator temperature depends on the flame1
size. It is regulated by the control knob.
High flame gives a colder refrigerator. Low flame gives a warmer refrigerator.2
Low Medium Maximum (high) Very low Low Medium Maximum (high)
ALADDIN BURNER KOSMOS BURNER
Check that the voltage is correct.1
If lit, turn off the burner flame.2
Plug in the power supply cable.3
Turn the control knob to a medium position and leave the refrigerator on for 3–4 hours.4
Check the inside temperature and adjust the control knob if necessary.5
The kerosene burner must never be lit when electricity is used.•
First time the refrigerator is used, smoke will appear due to paint residues in the•
heater tube.
!
After checking the inside temperature, the control knob can
be turned towards a warmer or colder position. Any suit-
able position between No “1” and “MAX” could be used.
This knob is graduated from 0 (marked by a spot) to figure
7 and MAX position where the cabinet is set for continual
operation, i.e. the thermostat is by-passed. Refrigerator
temperature is controlled by the thermostat only when run-
ning on electricity. When running on kerosene, the tempera-
ture is controlled by means of the knob on the front of the
refrigerator.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
KEROSENE OPERATION
ELECTRICAL OPERATION

www.sibir.com COPYRIGHT © SIBIR INTERNATIONAL
10DAY/NIGHT REGULATOR
Check that the burner flame is normal.1
Check kerosene level. Refill if necessary with kerosene2
of good quality.
Check that the kerosene in the tank is clean.1
Check that the wick and its tails are clean. A dirty2
wick will give a smoky flame.
Clean the burner.3
Clean the chimney.4
Clean the flue baffle.5
In low ambient temperature (for example at night in some climates)
the refrigerator may be too cold. By moving the lever (at the top of
the refrigerator) to the “moon” position, the flue baffle inside the
chimney will be lifted up about 320 mm (12.6”), which reduces the
efficiency of the cooling unit. During day, when it is hot, the lever
should be moved to the “sun” position. The flue baffle will return to
normal and the refrigerator will operate normally.
KEROSENE OPERATION
KEROSENE OPERATION
DAILY OPERATIONAL ACTIONS
WEEKLY OPERATIONAL ACTIONS
Check the temperature inside the refrigerator. To regulate
the temperature, see “Regulating the temperature”. If still
necessary, see the troubleshooting charts at the end of this
manual.
Check the frost formation on the cooling element. If the ice is
thicker than 6–10 mm (0.24-0.39”) defrosting should take place.
Frost forming rapidly (in just a few days) could
be result of poor door sealing.

11MONTHLY OPERATIONAL ACTIONS
Check that the condenser and cooling unit are free1
from dust.
Check the outer cabinet for paint damage. Repaint2
if necessary.
11
When necessary:
Clean the refrigerator in and outside with a•
damp cloth. Use mild detergent only!
Clean door gasket.•
!
Place a thin paper strip against the cabinet1
front.
Close the door.2
Pull the paper strip, if it moves easily or falls3
away by itself:
Find the place where the rubber gasket•
doesn’t seal tightly, then …
Place a pad of paper or sticking plaster•
between the rubber gasket and the inside
of the door in order to make the gasket seal
tightly.
If you can not make the door seal tightly, order a4
new door.
Move the vaccine to another refrigerator if available or1
store it in a coolbox with ice packs.
Blow out the flame or pull the plug from the wall socket2
and leave the door and the freezer compartment shutter
open.
Remove ice with your fingers, as soon as it is possible3
to do so. Do not use knives or sharp instruments!
Empty the drip tray.4
Wipe the freezer compartment and cooling element dry.5
Clean the refrigerator inside. Use mild detergent only.6
Start the refrigerator on kerosene or electricity.7
It is normal that frost forms on the cooling element. A thin layer of frost does not affect the
cooling performance. A thick layer of frost (6–10 mm (0.24-0.39”) or more) must be removed
by defrosting.

CHECKING THE DOOR SEAL
DEFROSTING
Check all the way around the door.•
Pay particular attention to the corners.•
!
Defrosting is to be carried out as•
quickly as possible in order not to
damage the vaccine.
Use the time it will take to defrost to•
clean the refrigerator etc.
Wait until the vaccine compartment is•
cold before replacing the vaccine.
