Use a spirit level to check that the refrigerator is standing level in both directions. This is
important for satisfactory operation of the cooling unit
The absorption cooling unit is cooled by convection and it is therefore vitally important that the
air circulates freely over the unit and that the air vent openings of the refrigerator are always
kept open. The more ventilation you provide, the better the performance you can expect from
the refrigerator.
NOTFS; KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER LIQUIDS WITH FLAMMABLE VAPOURS.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.
This refrigerator is designed for a self-contained fuel cylinder of not more than 75 cubic inches
(2 1/2 pounds nominal water capacity). The cylinder(s) must be made and marked in
accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the US Department of Transportation
(DOT), DOT SPEC. 39 (49CFR 178.65). In Canada, with the Ministry of Transport and
Communication.
2 Liquid Gas Operation:
The refrigerator may only be operated using a self-contained 14
or 16,4 oz propane HD 5 gas bottle, which is to be connected to
the refrigerator by means of-the supplied manual control valve
and the pressure regulator with hose. The gas burner is fitted
with a jet No. 21 which is suitable for use with Propane gas at
a
supply pressure of 11 inches water gauge.
2.1
Connection of gas supply: (FIG.2 see page 9)
a: fix the cylinder holder (fig. 2.1);
assembly see FIG.4, page l0.
b: 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.
c: connect the gas hose to the inlet (fig. 2.5) at the back of the refrigerator.
d: 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.
