3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. LP GAS OPERATION

After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylin-

ders, etc., the gas line may contain some air which should

be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator

or other gas appliances. This will ensure that the flame

lights immediately. See FIG. 8 for control location and

identification.

1) Open the shutoff valve of the gas bottle. Check

that there is enough gas. Open any on-board

shutoff valve which is in the gas line to the refrig-

erator.

2) Open the lower vent at the rear of the refrigerator

on the outside of the vehicle, and switch the

electrical toggle switch/es (A in RM2191) and (A

and E in RM2193) to the "OFF" position.

3) Turn the gas thermostat control (B) to the highest

setting.

4) Depress the knob (B) of the flame failure device,

turn it to position "HIGH", and hold it down while

depressing the piezo igniter button (C) several

times in quick succession (a click should be heard

each time it is depressed).

5) Keep the knob depressed for a further 10-15

seconds.

6) Release the knob and check for flame by looking

through the opening in the metal burner cover.

7) If the burner has not lit, repeat the lighting proce-

dure. If the burner fails to light within a couple of

attempts, contact a qualified technician or your

dealer.

NOTE: The refrigerator has a flame failure device which

will automatically shut off the gas to the burner if the

flame is blown out. While the knob (B) is being held in,

this device is temporarily inoperative.

8) If the ambient temperature is above 80°F and/or

the door of the refrigerator is opened frequently

the knob should be left in the "HIGH" position.

9) To terminate gas operation, turn knob (B) to the

"OFF" position.

DO NOT attempt to operate the refrigerator by both gas

and electricity at the same time. Always ensure that

one method of operation is turned off before using the

alternate energy source.
