In order to prevent discharge of the on-
board battery, 12V operation should only
be used while the motor is running.
Gas Operation (Liquid Gas)
The refrigerator must be operated using
liqueed gas (propane or butane NOT
natural gas or town gas) When using LPG
please consider that the burner needs
cleaning at shorter intervals due to the gas
combustion method (annually)
For physical reasons, ignition faults could
occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 1000m/3280 ft. (No
malfunction!)
On the initial refrigerator start-up or after a
cylinder change, air may be trapped in the
gas line. To purge the air from the lines,
switch on the refrigerator and any other
gas appliances (e.g. stove) for a short
time. The gas ignites without delay.
As a basic rule, gas operation is prohibited
in petrol stations.
