Gas operation
Switching on:
 Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator tap "Refriger-
ator".
 Press and hold the On/Off button (Fig. 228,1) for about 2 seconds. The
refrigerator switches itself on. The button of the operating mode chosen
most recently lights up.
 If necessary, press the button for the operating mode "Gas" (Fig. 228,3).
The button lights up. Gas supply is open. Ignition will take place automati-
cally. A ticking sound can be heard until ignition has been completed suc-
cessfully.
 Use the button (Fig. 228,5) to set the refrigerating temperature.
Switching off:
 Press and hold the On/Off button for about 2 seconds. Refrigerator is
switched off.
 Close the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator" and the regulator tap on the gas
bottle.
Z Select only one energy source.
Z The refrigerator always requires a 12 V control voltage, regardless of which
type of energy it is using. The control voltage is present as soon as the
transformer/rectifier is switched on. Therefore the closed circuit current
always flows even if the refrigerator is switched off. Always switch off the
transformer/rectifier for a temporary lay-up.
X Never let gas escape unburned due to danger of explosion.
