thermostat-controlled temperature regulation.
Operation with liquefied petroleum gas
Operation of the refrigerator on liquefied petroleum gas is prohibited in the
open air.
Do not use another source of energy at the same time (mains, battery). The
label at the rear of the appliance gives the recommended gas supply
pressure expressed in milibars.
The appliance can not operate at a pressure other than the one specified
on the label. It is recommended to use an appropriate pressure regulator
(butane 28-30 mbar or 50mba, propane 37 mbar).
Storage of gas cylinders
Store the gas cylinder in a cool, dry and ventilated area, protected from
sunlight and do not exposed to temperatures above 50 degrees.

Connection of the refrigerator to the cylinder of liquefied petroleum
gas
CAUTION: always stay clear of any source ignition during this operation.
Do not smoke.
Connect the COOLBOX in the following order:
Gas cylinder > pressure regulator > appliance
Precautions shall be taken to comply with national regulations relating to
the operation of gas appliances whilst the vehicle is in motion.
The gas connection tube at the rear of the appliance is designed for a
standard NF XPD 36 110 tutane / propane flexible hose. It is essential to
follow the assembly and connection instructions for the aplliance to be
connected. Excessive twisting and bending are to be avoided. Bends in the
gas hose must have a radius of more than 40 mm. The length of the hose
must not exceed 1.5m.
If you wish to check for leaks, please use soapy water, do not use a flame.
It is prohibited to checke for leaks with a flame.
Do not smoke: danger of explosion and burns.

When changing the gas cylinder and/or disconnecting the hose, it is
mandatory to close the valve of the gas cylinder.
Replace the hose if it is damaged or if it becomes porous and in any case
before the expiry date printed on the side
Gas valve assembly
This assembly consists of an adjusting device with an incorporated safety
pilot, a burner with an electric igniter.
The adjusting device can be set to 3 different positions:
M
ax
Maximum cooling
MIN
Minimum cooling
0 off
Igniting position / burner gas supply
closed
The safety pilot automatically maintains the gas supply to the burner as
long as it remains lit. It automatically shuts off the supply if the flame goes
out.
Ignition of the liquefied petroleum gas burner.
Turn on the valve of the gas cylinder.
Press the adjusting knob and hold it in this position, then turn the knob the
anti-clockwise to Max. The burner starts to work, and the gas meter points
to the red area. If the appliance has not been ignited for a long period, or if
the gas cylinder has been changed, there may be some air in the duct, so it
may fail to be ignited. It is necessary to check that the pilot is lit by looking
through the orifice at the top of the appliance. If the appliance fails to be
ignited, try it again after approximate 10 seconds.
When the outside temperature is low, set the adjusting devise to MIN after
a sufficient long cool-down period in MAX position.
To disconnect an appliance running on gas Far from any source of
ignition

Service
If a problem occurs, carry out the following checks:
- Is the appliance installed in a horizontal position?
- Is there sufficient ventilation?
- For 220V mains operation, check that the mains supply is correct. And is
the thermostat set correctly?
- For battery operation, check the battery and the connection.
- For gas operation, is the burner ignited?
- Has the ignition safety (adjustment) knob been set to MAX?
- Are the gas cylinder valve and/or the pressure regulator open?
- Is there still a sufficient quantity of gas in the cylinder? The cylinder is
empty if no
liquid can be heard moving about when it is shaken.
- Have two modes of energy (gas and electricity) been selected at the
same time?
- Has too much food been placed inside the refrigerator all at once?
Arrange the food so that the air is free to circulate inside the refrigerator.
Do not use pieces cardboard or plastic as separations. Keep vessels
containing liquids closed.
If, despite the above checks, you still need to contact the service
department, describe the failure and state the type of equipment and its
serial number (these are marked on the lebel).
If the power cable is damaged, it must be maintained by the original
factory/ after-service center or qualified person to avoid harmful
substances.
