ELECTRIC OPERATION
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same
as the mains voltage in use. Plug the refrigerator power cord
into an easily accessible earthed wall socket. If no earthed
wall socket is available consult an electrician before using the
refrigerator.
Refrigerator temperature is kept at a constant level by means
of the thermostat. Select the temperature required by turning
the thermostat knob to a suitable figure. This knob is graduated
from 0 (marked by a spot) to 7 and MAX. At the MAX posi-
tion the cabinet is set for continual operation, i.e. the thermo-
stat is by-passed.
Refrigerator temperature is controlled by the thermostat only
when on electric operation. When running on kerosene, the
temperature is controlled by means of the knob on the kerosene
tank. To render the refrigerator completely electrically inert,
pull the plug out of the wall socket.
CHANGING FROM KEROSENE OPERATION TO
ELECTRIC OPERATION OR VICE VERSA
Switching from kerosene to electric operation:
Extinguish the kerosene flame.
Plug the power cord into the wall socket.
Set the thermostat.
Switching from electric to kerosene operation:
Pull the power cord out of the wall socket.
Start the refrigerator on kerosene.
NOTE!
Do not run the refrigerator on electricity and kerosene simul-
taneously. Refrigerating efficiency will thereby be somewhat
impaired but above all the unit may overheat and ruin the
refrigerating system.
LIGHTING
The refrigerator is provided with a battery power interior
light. The battery box is at the rear of the refrigerator. Four bat-
teries, type LR20 1,5 volts are to be used.
CHANGING THE HEATING ELEMENT
The heater, which is fitted inside the boiler casing (B), FIG. 7,
of the refrigerator unit, can be changed as follows:
Pull the power cord out of the wall socket.
Remove the cover (C).
Remove some insulation wool so that the heater (A) is
accessible.
Open the terminal block cover and disconnect the heater
leads.
Turn and lift the heater out of its pocket.
Fit the new heater into the pocket.
Connect the leads and close the terminal block cover.
Carefully put the insulation wool back into position and
close the cover of the boiler casing.
