TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1.
Shut off any valve in the gas line to the refrigerator.
2. Set the energy selector (A) to 0.
3. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as descri-
bed earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and
the frozen food compartment ajar.
IF THE ‘FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
Check the following points before calling a service tech-
nician:
1.
That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instruc-
tions have been followed.
2. The refrigerator is level.
3. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the
connected sources of energy.
4. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:
•
That the gas bottle is not empty.
•
That all LP-gas valves are open.
5. If the refrigerator fails to work on mains electric,
check:
•
That the mains electric supply is connected to
the refrigerator.
•
That the fuse is intact.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be
because:
1.
The ventilation of the cooling unit is inadequate; see
the paragraph PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERA-
TOR.
2. The evaporator is frosted up.
3. The temperature control setting is incorrect.
4. The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure
regulator at the gas container.
5. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic
sealing strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a
service technician.
The sealed cooling system must not be opened,
since it contains corroding chemicals under
high pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the gas hose periodically for cracks or deep
chafing marks. Connections can be tested for leaks
using a soap solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!
If there is any suspicion of damage, call for a service
technician.
We recommend that a service technician check the
refrigerator once a year.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
•
Defrosting is carried out periodically.
•
The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left
open when it is not to be used for some time.
•
Liquids or items with a strong odour are well pack-
aged.
•
There is a free air circulation over the cooling unit at
the rear of the refrigerator.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be installed by an authorised
person and conform to all relevant authorities.
PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The room should have a capacity (length x width x
height) of at least 20 m
3
and must be adequately venti-
lated as well as follow all relevant national and local
regulations.
Further the room should have a window (which can be
opened) or a door to the outside.
It is important that the refrigerator is not subject to
radiation of heat from a stove etc.
For best performance also at high ambient temperatures
there must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit
at the rear of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is designed for a free-standing installa-
tion and the clearance to the rear wall and to possible
side walls, should be at least 25 mm. The clearance
above the refrigerator should be at least 100 mm.
The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position
in both directions, see bubble level at the bottom of the
refrigerator. Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its
position.
LP GAS CONNECTION
The refrigerator is designed for operation on LP gas, the
pressure of which must be 30 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.
CAUTION! CHECK THAT THE GAS SUPPLIED
TO THE REFRIGERATOR IS AT THE CORRECT
PRESSURE. SEE THE REDUCING VALVE ON
THE LP GAS CONTAINER.
