OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROLS

FIG. 1
The refrigerator can be run on either 240 V or LP gas. Chang-
ing between these modes of operation is carried out by means
of control buttons positioned as shown in fig. 1.
The energy selector (A) can be set at either I (= 240 V),
(= LP gas) or 0.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat (B).
Please note that the thermostat has no "off" position.
The refrigerator is fitted with a safety device that automatically
shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The safety
device can be opened manually by pressing the button (C).
The piezoelectric igniter discharges sparks over the burner
when the button (D) is pressed.
In the flame viewer (E) you can see a blue light when the gas
flame is lit.

LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
etc., the gas pipes may contain some air, which should be al-
lowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other
appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.

refrigerator are open.

push the button (D) for the piezo igniter several times to
light the burner.

5. Keep the button (C) pressed for a further 10-15 seconds.
6. Release the button (C) and check that the flame is alight.
To terminate gas operation, turn knob (A) to 0.
240 V Operation
Set the energy selector (A) to position I .
REGULATING THE TEmPERATURE
The position number refers to fig. 1.It will take several hours
for the refrigerator to reach normal operating temperature.
A thermostat controls the temperature of the main compart-
ment of the refrigerator. The thermostat knob (B) should be set
at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is desired set the thermo-
stat to a higher figure.

The frozen food compartment is intended for the storage of
frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable for freezing
items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food stor-
age compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also don't
give children ice-lollies straight from the frozen food as they
could cause frost burns.
Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food
compartment for about a month. This period of time may vary,
however, and it is important to follow the instructions on the
individual packets.
