Check that the gas supplied to the refrigerator is at 

the correct pressure.

CAUTION

CONNECTIONS

LP gas connection

The gas installation and servicing must be carried out by an 

authorised person and conform to all relevant local authori-

ties. 
The refrigerator is 

not

 designed for operation on town gas or 

natural gas but for operation on LP gas, the pressure of which 

must be 2,72 kPa for Propane. Check that this is stated on 

the data plate. The gas supply system must incorporate an 

approved gas pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure 

of 2,7 kPa.

Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual 

gas valve, which is furnished with a ISO 7/1 -Rp 1/8 internal 

pipe thread connection. All completed connections should be 

checked for leaks with soapy water.

The gas supply system must incorporate an approved gas 

pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of 2,72 kPa .
When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess 

of 1/2 psi, the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve 

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than or 

equal to 1/2 psi, the appliance must be isolated from the gas 

supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff 

valve.
If detailed instructions on the installation and connection to 

the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or distributor.

Testing LP gas safety shut off

The gas safety shut off must be tested after the refrigerator is 

connected to the LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows: 

Start the refrigerator and check that the gas flame 

is lit. This can be observed on the flame indicator 

E

. The red indicator is in the green field (ON).

Close the gas valve by turning knob 

A

 back to 

“OFF” position.
Wait for one minute.
Remove protection cover. 
Open the gas valve by turning knob 

A

 to position 

“GAS” without pressing buttons 

C

 and 

D

. 

Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solution 

to the burner jet. Be careful not to damage the 

burner jet.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

No bubbles should appear at the opening of the 

burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a de-

fective gas safety shutoff, and service is required. 

If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas 

safety valve is working properly. 
Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before pro-

ceeding. Be careful not to damage the burner jet.
Replace the protection cover and turn the main 

switch OFF and back ON. 
Normal operation of the burner should return. 

Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5 

minutes. 

Electrical connection

230-240 v AC connection

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and 

durable manner, taking into account all relevant regulations 

and codes of practice.
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as 

the main voltage in use (230-240 V). Electrical leads must be 

routed and secured so that they cannot come into contact with 

hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator.

For mains voltage operation, it is important that the cir

-

cuit to and in the caravan is effectively earthed

.

The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) 

plug for your protection against shock hazards and should 

be plugged directly into a properly grounded threeprong 

receptacle. 

Note! 

Do not cut or remove the grounding prong 

from this plug. 

The free length of the cord is 6 ft. (1,8 m). It is recommended 

the receptacle placed on the left side of the refrigerator 

(viewed from the rear) and approximately 150 mm from the 

floor. This will allow easy accessibility through the vent door. 

Exchange of supply cord

The cord should be routed to avoid direct contact with the 

burner cover, flue cover or any other components that could 

damage the cord insulation. If the supply cord is damaged, 

it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or 

similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
