of at least 30 m and must be adequately ventilated as well as
3
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 installation
and the clearance to the rear wall and to possible side walls,
should be at least 25 mm. The clearance above the refrigera-
tor should be at least 100 mm.
The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position in
both directions. Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its
position.
LP GAS CONNECTION
The refrigerator is designed for operation on LP gas, the pres-
sure of which must be 37 mbar for Propane and 28 mbar for
Butane. 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 .
The gas installation and servicing should only be carried out
by an authorized, qualified person and must conform to all
relevant national and local regulations.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet of
the gas control valve by means of a suitable threaded cou-
pling.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock
of an approved bottled-gas type must be incorporated in the
supply line in a position, which is readily accessible to the
user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be on
the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should be posi-
tioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily
withdrawn.

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and
durable manner; taking into accounts all relevant regulations
and codes of practice.
