8. Connection of gas supply
(The following instructions refer in the main to coolers manufactured for the United Kingdom. For other countries
please refer to your supplier.)
Always connect in the following sequence:
GAS BOTTLE
→→
PRESSURE REGULATOR
→→
APPLIANCE.
To connect the appliance to the pressure regulator an APPROVED GAS TUBING should be used. This should
be minimum in length-have an inside dimension of 8mm and be marked BS3212/2/8.
The pressure-regulator must be compatible for Butan 11 in(28mbar) or for Propane(37mbar).
To connect the pressure-regulator to the gas bottle, the valve of gas bottle must be closed.After connecting the
pressure-regulator to the bottle by screwing,connect the two ends of the tubing to the nipples and secure them
with the two hose clipse.
When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the appliance , hold counterpart to avoid straining and possibly
damaging.
The gas bottle must only be used in an upright position and particular care must be taken every time the
appliance is connected to the gas bottle to ensure that there are no leaks, that the gas pipe (rubber hose) is not
under tension or kinked, and that it is not in contact with hot surfaces.
The connection pipe and gas bottle should always be located in positions where they will not be tripped over or
otherwise inadvertently disturbed.
Before attempting to light the burner, every time after connection, turn on the gas at the bottle and check the gas
connections for leaks by applying a soap and water solution over them and watching for bubbles, which would
indicate a leak.
After testing dry off traces of detergent.
For your safety
Do not check for leaks with a naked flame!
Do not smoke while checking for leaks!
9. Gas equipment system (Fig. 1)
The gas equipment consists of a multiple value (B) [value with built-in thermoelectric ignition control], the piezo-
gas lighter (E), a burner with sparking plug and the gas-thermostat (F).
Knob (B) can be turned to 2 function positions:
: large flame = gas-flow open;
: out position = gas supply to burner is closed.
If, for any reason the gas flame extinguishes, the ignition control is working automatically and shuts off gas
supply.
10. Igniting the gas burner (Fig. 1/4)
1. Open gas cylinder or pressure regulating valve.
2. Turn knob (F) to position 6.
3. Turn knob (B) anticlockwise to the MAX position, press and hold down.
4. After approximately 10 seconds, press knob (E) several times. After ignition, hold down knob (B) for a further
20-30 seconds before releasing.
The flame can be controlled by aperture (C).
Should no ignition occur, repeat the ignition process after 1 minute.
(This could lake longer than 10 seconds if the unit has been out of operation for a prolonged period or after
replacing the gas cylinder. Cause: air in the lines.)
5. When a sufficient low internal temperature of the refrigerator has been reached, it may be necessary to set
the control knob (F) to MIN-position, particularly at night, in cool weather conditions or when the refrigerator
is only lightly loaded, respectively the ambient temperature is below 18°C, in order to avoid overfreezing the
contents.
11. Shutting down gas operation (Fig. 1+ 5)
1. Close gas cylinder or pressure regulating valve.
2. Turn knob (B) clockwise to the off position.
