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 per-
formance
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.

Electric Operation
The
dual
voltage
electric
equipment
is
for
operation
from
the
12
volt
battery
in the car
when
the
caravan is on
tow,
or
from
mains
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
disC'harged to a
point
where
it
will
not
restart the engine.
(The
current
drain
at
12V
is 8 amps). When at rest
for
more
than
a
short
peAod,
the caravan
should
be levelled and the
refrigerator
switched
over
to
mains voltage,
or
the
12V
supply
switched
off
and the
refrigerator
started up on
bottled
gas.
Before
connecting
to a mains voltage
supply,
it
is
most
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
thermostetlceuv.controlledand
can be adjusted by means
of
the
knob
(7) of the
thermostat.
The
12V
circuit
is
not
thermostatically
controlled
and the coQJing
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,
Le:
when
the
caravan is on
tow.
It
is
not
intended
for
extended
periods
of
use
from
a
continuous
12V
supply,
oth~rwise.
the
fresh
food
compartment
may
become
too
cold
for
the
satisfaCtory f'lorage
of

and
drinks.
For
connection
to the
12V
supply,
a
two-way
termi
nal
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

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 rati ng
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
Kinqdorn.>
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/CEE17.
To
start
the
refrigerator
on
electricity,
see
that
the gas
control
knob
(5) is at
OFF,
turn
the voltage selector
switch
(6)
to
the voltage
required,
then
connect
the
refrigerator
to
the
appropriate
voltage
supply.
If
on mains voltage
(220-240V),
turn
the
thermostat
knob
(7)
to
setting
No. 3 or 4.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
After
starting
up the
refrigerator,
it
will
take
about
an
hour
before
there are signs
of
cooling.
When
operating
on mains voltage
electricity,
the
refrigerator
is
thermostatically
controlled
and the
thermostat
knob
(7)
~;ould
be
set
to
No. 3 or 4.
This
will
maintain
a suitable
temperature
in the
refrigerator
and
frozen
food
storage
compartment
for
general use
but,
in
hot
weather, or
if
more
cooling
is required, the
knob
should
be
turned
to
a
higher
number.
If
less
cooling
is
required,
the
knob
should
be
turned
to
a
lower
number.
(This does
not
apply
to
12
volt
oper-
ation
which
is
not
thermostatically
controlled).
For
operation
on gas, the
refrigerator
should
be started
off
with
the gas
control
(5) set at
MAX.
This.wi~.~provide
suitable temperatures
in the
refrigerator
in
warm
weathJ~r,
but
if
the fresh
food
compartment
becomes
too
cold,
especially in cOoler weather,
turn
the gas
control
knob
to
MID
or
MIN.
Remembet"to
return
it
to
a higher setting, ,when
necessary,'-
if
the
weather
becomes
warm
again
for
instance.
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
of
refrigerant
to take place, the
unit
must
be level in
both
direc-
tions
(when
it
is
stationary),
otherwise
refrigerant
can accumulate in
pockets
and the cooling process may be
impaired.
A
continuous
rolling
and
pitching
motion
as occurs in a caravan on
tow
wi
11
not
normally
affect
operation,
but
when the caravan is at
rest
for
more
than
about
half
an
hour
it
must
be levelled, in
both
direc-
tions,
so
that
the ice-tray shelf inside the
frozen
food
storage
compart-
ment
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
all 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
con-
cerned. In the
United
Kingdom,
and
many
other
parts 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 attacneo to It
that
the gas
equipment
is
correct
for
theqas
and gas
to
be
used.
If
itis
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 changes
made
should
be recorded on or beside the data label.
