12v Operation
Only operate your refrigerator on 12v when the engine of your vehicle is
running otherwise your battery will soon become discharged.
Before operating the refrigerator on 12v it should be pre-cooled together
with its contents by running it on bottled gas or mains for a few hours
before starting a journey.
i. If applicable, turn off the gas operation.
ii. Set the 12v rocker switch (A) to I. The switch will light up red when
the power supply is connected.
Regulating the temperature
It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal operating
temperature so it is suggested that the fridge is pre-cooled before loading
with foodstuffs.
On LP Gas operation
The refrigerator temperature is regulated by the gas thermostat (E), which
should be set at 3. Set the thermostat to a higher figure if a cooler
temperature is required. If less cooling is required set to a lower figure.
On 230v Operation
The refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat and the thermostat knob
(C) should be set at 3-5. If a lower (colder) temperature is required, set
the thermostat to a higher figure. If less cooling is required set to a lower
figure.
On 12v Operation
The refrigerator runs continuously.
