Warranty Information

The refrigerator is guaranteed for one year under correct usage and installation.

Controls: The refrigerator can operate on 230V, 12V, or LP gas, selected via rocker switches. Temperature is controlled by a thermostat (230V) or a thermostat knob (LP gas). An indicator lamp on the switch (RM 4281) flashes during automatic ignition. A piezo-electric igniter is used for RM 4280.
Starting: Ensure only one energy source is used. For LP gas, open the gas bottle, turn the knob, set thermostat high, and press the igniter (RM 4280) or switch (RM 4281). Keep the knob pressed to activate the flame failure device. For 230V, turn off other sources, set thermostat high, and switch to position I. For 12V, turn off gas, set switch to I (only when engine is running).
Winter Operation: Ensure ventilation grilles are clear and consider using winter covers.
Temperature Regulation: Allow several hours for cooling. Set thermostat to 3-5 for optimal temperature. On 12V, it runs continuously.

Troubleshooting and error codes

If the Fridge Fails to Work Check the following points before calling a service technician:
1. That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instructions have been followed.
2. The refrigerator is level.
3. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the connected sources of energy.
4. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:
  • That the gas bottle is not empty.
  • That all LP-gas valves are open.
5. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check:
  • That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigerator.
  • That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact.
  • That the 12 V switch is on.
6. If the refrigerator fails to work on 230 V, check:
  • That the 230 V supply is connected to the refrigerator.
  • That the fuse is intact.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:
1. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from wire mesh etc).
2. The evaporator is frosted up.
3. The temperature control setting is incorrect.
4. The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure regulator at the gas container.
5. The ambient temperature is too high.
6. Too much food is loaded at one time.
7. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing strip is defective.
8. More than one source of energy is used at the same time. If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service technician.
