FIG. 1
The refrigerator can be run on either mains electric or LP gas.
Changing 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 (= mains electric),
(= LP gas) or 0 (= off).
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.

The position numbers refer to fig. 1.
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.
1.
Make sure that all valves between the gas container and the
refrigerator are open.
2.
Turn the energy selector (A) to position .
3.
Push the button (C) in until it reaches the bottom - and hold,
push the button (D) for the piezo igniter several times to
light the burner.
4.
Check the flame indicator (E) to see if the flame is lit.
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.
electric 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
thermostat to a higher figure.
DeFROstINg
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It
must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator
and adversely affects refrigerator performance.
Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it
gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.
To defrost the refrigerator, turn it off and remove all items. Do
not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating
appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces of the
refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape
off the ice.
Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be mopped up
with a cloth. When all ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry
and restart it.
CLeANINg tHe ReFRIgeRAtOR
Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh
and hygienic.
Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicarbon-
ate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the cloth
and use it to clean the interior of the refrigerator and its fittings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented prod-
ucts or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrigerator as
they may damage the surfaces and leave a strong odour.
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now and
again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent.
But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned with
soap and water and then thoroughly dried.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with
a brush from time to time, but make sure that the refrigerator is
switched off when doing this.
