Ventilation grilles
The openings in the caravan wall must be fitted with the
Electrolux Ventilation systems.
Fitting the grilles, model A 1620, fig.2, which were speci-
ally developed by Electrolux for this purpose. It is a good
idea to install the frame R 1640 (B in fig. 7a) at the same
time. Then the grilles can be easily removed, which permits
inspection and small repairs to be carried out without the
necessity for removing the refrigerator from the recess.
If there is no outer grille at floor level where leaking gas can
escape, a 40 mm hole to the outside should be made in the
floor of the recess to drain any unburnt gas to the outside.
Fit the hole with wire mesh and an angled plate to protect
from stones, mud etc.
Removal of flue gases
The ventilation passage at the rear of the recess, between
the outer wall of the vehicle and the refrigerator (fig. 7a/b),
is sealed off against the living space, and so cold draughts
are excluded (winter camping) and no flue gases can
penetrate into the vehicle. Thus a special flue outlet is no
longer necessary – the gases are dispersed through the
upper vent grille.
Note: With this mode of installation the same type of grilles
(without an integrated flue outlet), should be installed at the
upper as well as at the lower vent opening. The angled
T-piece for the flue tube (when delivered) should not be
used in this case.
The top of the enclosure above the flue tube (I), fig. 7a/b,
should be covered with aluminum sheet metal, as indicated
in (B), to facilitate the heat dispersion.

LP GAS CONNECTION
The refrigerator is designed for operation on LP gas, the
pressure of which must be 28 mbar for Butane and 37 mbar
for Propane. Check that this is stated on the data plate.
The refrigerator is not designed for operation on town gas
or natural gas.
The gas installation should only be carried out by an autho-
rized gas fitter. It is recommended that the gas pipe feeding
the refrigerator is so arranged that it is possible to turn off
the supply of the refrigerator. It must be of a type approved
for use with continuously operating bottled-gas appliances,
and have threaded compression connections throughout.
PUSH-ON CONNECTIONS MUST NOT BE USED (We do
not approve the use of "rubber" type flexible tubing for
connecting permanently operating appliances of this type in
the United Kingdom). All connectors etc. should be of a type
specifically designed for the type and diameter of the con-
nection pipe used, and screwed joints should be sealed with
a joining compound approved for use with bottled gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
pipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by
means of a suitable threaded compression coupling.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a gas cock of
an approved type for use on LPG must be incorporated in
the supply line in a position which is readily accessible to
the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should
be on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should
be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from
being readily withdrawn.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regula-
tions and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation, it
is important that the circuit to and in the caravan is effec-
tively earthed. ALL MAINS VOLTAGE WIRING IN THE
CARAVAN MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CURRENT I.E.E. REGULATIONS INCLUDING THE
USE OF AN OUTLET AND COUPLER TO BS4343/-
CEE17.
For connection to a 230 V electricity supply, the refrigerator
has a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connection to
a properly earthed plug and socket outlet. The socket outlet
should be fitted in the caravan in a position readily accessi-
ble to the user, within reach of the mains lead. In the United
Kingdom, the plug and socket outlet should be of the non-
reversible type.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW = EARTH
BLUE = NEUTRAL
BROWN = LIVE
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, in
the United Kingdom, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or
green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
red.
