5 Intended use

The refrigerator is designed for installation in caravans or motorhomes. It is only

suitable for cooling, freezing and storing foodstuffs. The refrigerator is not intended

for the proper storage of medicine.

The refrigerator is designed to be operated on a DC power supply and an AC socket

and can be powered by liquid universal LPG gas. The refrigerator may not be run on

natural gas or city gas.

6 Technical description

6.1 Description

The refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator. The refrigerator is designed to operate

with different types of power and can be run on an AC power supply, a DC power

supply or with liquefied universal LPG gas. For DC operation, the vehicle battery can

be used. The thermostatic control ensures that the refrigerator temperature is kept

constant and as little power as possible is consumed.

For ignition, the device does three attempts to ignite the flame for a period of

30 seconds at two minutes interval (if flame does not ignite, see chapter “Trouble-

shooting” on page 38).

The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic safety device which automatically

terminates the gas supply to the burner approximately 30 seconds after the flame

goes out and remains out.

The refrigerator has a manual power mode selection and an automatic operating

mode which selects the most economical power mode connected.

CAUTION! Health hazard!

Please check if the cooling capacity of the refrigerator is suitable for

storing the food you wish to cool.

NOTE

To safely operate 12 V consumer units in the caravan, it must be ensured

that the towing vehicle provides sufficient voltage. On some vehicles,

the battery management system may automatically switch off the

consumer unit to protect the battery. Ask your vehicle manufacturer for

more information.
