INTRODUCTION

To ensure satisfactory and economical operation, it is essential that

the refrigerator is installed as directed in the Electrolux Installation

Instructions, and is used in accordance with these instructions. The

ventilation openings for air circulation over the cooling unit must

not be reduced in size or obstructed in any way otherwise the performance of the

cooling unit may be impaired and consumption

increased.

When the caravan is on tow, the refrigerator should be operated electrically, i.e.

from the 12V battery in the towing vehicle,

and not by means of bottled gas.

WARNING

Because of the hazards associated with the use of continuously

operating bottled-gas appliances with open-flame burners in

difficult-to-ventilate confined spaces, and other considerations,

Electrolux do not recommend the installation of their bottled-gas

caravan refrigerators on boats, and refrigerators so installed will

not be covered by the Company's guarantee.

If, however, a boat installation is planned for the refrigerator,

reference should be made to British Standard 5482, Part 3, 1979

and to the Thames Water Authority "Launch Digest" and "Launch

Specification". Also, current Guide Lines published by local Water

Authorities, or the Ship and Boat Builders' National Federation.

It should be noted that special Marine Refrigerators are available

from Electrolux for use on boats.

LEVEL

When the refrigerator is operating, refrigerant trickles through the

cooling unit under the influence of gravity. To enable a satisfactory

flow to take place, the unit must be level in both directions, other

wise refrigerant can accumulate in pockets and the cooling process

impaired.

A continuous rolling and pitching motion as occurs in a caravan

on tow will not normally affect operation, but when the caravan is

at rest for more than about half an hour it must be levelled, in both

directions, so that the ice-tray shelf inside the frozen food storage

compartment is level. (This can be checked with a small spirit level

placed on the ice-tray shelf). If it is not convenient to level the

vehicle and it is to stand out of level for more than half an hour, the

refrigerator should be temporarily turned off.

GAS PRESSURE, BURNER, JET, AND GAS

CONTROL VALVE

The combined gas control valve and flame failure device (5, fig.2),

and jet and burner (9 & 10, fig. 4), must be of the correct type or

size for the gas and gas pressure which you use. The gas pressure

is determined by the type of regulator fitted to your gas bottle, and

this may vary according to the Standard adopted in the country

concerned. In the United Kingdom, and most of Europe, the

standard pressures used for butane and propane are as shown in

section 1 of the table below. In Germany and Austria, the higher

pressure shown in section 2 of the table usually applies.

It is essential that a reliable pressure regulator, set to deliver no

more than the appropriate pressure shown in the table, is fitted

directly to the gas bottle. Needle valve operated gas control taps

are NOT suitable for use with this refrigerator and must not be

used as a substitute for a pressure regulator.

Before using the refrigerator, check from the label attached to it

that the gas equipment is correct for the gas and gas pressure to be

used. If it is not, the burner, jet, and combined gas control valve

and flame failure device must be changed for the correct size or type

in accordance with the table below. For future reference, any

chan

es made should be recorded on or beside the data label.

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR (see fig.2)

Before using your refrigerator for the first time, it is advisable to wash

the interior and its accessories as described later under 'Cleaning'.

The bottled gas equipment includes a

Piezo

crystal lighting device

which creates a spark over the burner when the button (4) is pushed

in fully. No batteries or flints are required to operate this lighter.

Before starting the refrigerator, always check that the alternative

method of operation is off as the refrigerator should not be operated

by both means at the same time. If the caravan is to be stationary

for a period, check that the refrigerator is level.

the burner

1. See that the voltage selector switch (7) is set to '0', i.e. is in its

centre position. Ensure that gas is available from the bottle and

turn on any taps in the supply to the refrigerator.

2. Turn the gas control knob (5) so that '3' is opposite the indicator

mark.

3. Push in fully the gas control knob (5) for about 5 seconds to allow

air to clear from the pipe line. (When starting initially, or after

changing a gas bottle, it may be necessary to push in the knob appre

ciably longer to clear all the air. Do not, however, allow too much gas

to accumulate around the burner as an over-rich gas/air mixture may

be difficult to ignite).

4. Still pressing in the knob (5), push in the button (4) which operates

the Piezo igniter, several times in quick succession. (A click should be

heard each time the button is pushed in). Continue to press in the

gas control knob (5) for a further 15 seconds to allow time for the

thermocouple tip (over the burner) to heat up.

5. Release the gas control knob then check that the burner is alight by

looking directly through the flame viewer located inside the cabinet

at the rear left-hand lower corner. If the burner has not lit, repeat

the lighting procedure.

Note:- The refrigerator has a flame failure device which will automati

cally shut off the gas to the burner if the flame is blown out. While

the knob (5) is being pressed in, this device is temporarily inoperative.

Electric operation

The dual voltage electric equipment is for operation from the main

12 volt battery in the car when the caravan is on tow, or from mains

voltage electricity when a 220 to 240V a.c. supply, with satisfactory

earthing, is available on a site. Before using the refrigerator on electricity

make sure that the electricity supply is suitable for the refrigerator.

It is important to understand that 12 volt operation is only intended

to be used while the car engine is running and is charging the battery,

otherwise the battery may be discharged to a point where it will not

restart the engine. (The current drain at 12V is 8 amps minimum). When

at rest for more than a short period, the caravan should be levelled and

the refrigerator switched over to mains voltage, if available, or the 12V

supply switched off and the refrigerator started up on bottled gas.

Before connecting to a mains voltage supply, it is important to

make certain that the circuit to, and in, the caravan is properly and

effectively earthed.

When operating on mains voltage, the temperature in the refrigerator

is thermostatically controlled and can be adjusted by means of the

knob (6) of the thermostat. The 12V circuit is not thermostatically

controlled and the cooling unit will operate all the time the refrigerator

is connected to 12V and switched on. 12V operation is, therefore,

only intended to be used for relatively short periods, i.e. when the

caravan is on tow. It is not intended for extended periods of use from

a continuous 12V supply, otherwise the fresh food compartment may

become too cold for the satisfactory storage of fresh foods and drinks.

For connection to the 12V supply, a two-way terminal block is

located behind the right-hand end of the control panel (1, fig 1) at the

top of the refrigerator.

For connection to a 220-240V electricity supply, the refrigerator

is provided with a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connection

to a properly earthed plug and socket outlet. In the United Kingdom,

the following plug connection instructions must be observed.

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, proceed as follows :

The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be con

nected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E

or by the earth symbol -=L- 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.

WARNING -THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrigerator must

be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a 13 amp. (B.S.1363)

fused-plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp fuse. In other

countries, the fuse rating will depend on local practice.

During installation, a suitable socket outlet for the mains voltage

supply should have been fitted in the caravan, near the refrigerator,

in a position readily accessible to the user. In the United Kingdom,

all mains voltage wiring in the caravan must be installed in accord

ance with I.E.E. regulations, including the use of an outlet and coupler

to BS 4343/CE E17.

Voltage Selector Switch

The voltage selector switch (7) can be set to three different positions,

identified by the following symbols :

To start the refrigerator on electricity, see that the gas control knob (5)

is at '0' (off), set the voltage selector switch (7) to the voltage required,

then connect the refrigerator to the appropriate voltage supply.

If on mains voltage (220-240), turn the thermostat knob (6) to

setting No. 3
