In a caravan on tow, the usual continuous rolling and pitching motion, even on long hill climbs will not
normally cause the operation of the cooling unit to be affected unduly, but when the caravan is at rest for
more than about half an hour, a list of more than about 3" in any direction relay interfere with the operation.
(Note: 3" corresponds to about 50mm at the end of a metre-long plumb-line. or 1 1/2” at the end of a 30-
plumb-line). If the list does not exceed 8° cooling is usually resumed when the refrigerator returns to the
upright position, but if it does exceed S°, the burner should be extinguished or the electricity supply
disconnected, as applicable soon after the list has occurred otherwise the cooling unit may become
damaged due to overheating of the boiler.
When the caravan is to be at rest for a period, with the refrigerator operating, the caravan should be
levelled, in both directions, so that the refrigerator is level. This can be checked with a small spirit level
placed on the ice-tray shelf inside the refrigerator, viewed from above with the aid of a small mirror. If it is
not convenient to level the vehicle and it is to stand out of level for more than half an hour. The refrigerator
should be temporarily turned off.
Note:-Having checked initially that the refrigerator has been installed level in both directions in relation to
the caravan, you may find a more accessible flat surface on which to place the spirit level during future
levelling operations, A position on the caravan draw-bar, for instance, for placing (or permanently fixing) a
2-way or circular spirit level where it may be viewed whilst adjusting the jockey wheel height, will be an aid
to speedy levelling of the caravan and therefore the refrigerator.
15. GAS PRESSURE
Before using the refrigerator on bottled gas check that the types of gas and gas pressure regulator that
you intend to use are compatible with the size of burner jet and gas control valve fitted to the refrigerator.
16.STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR (see fig .14)
Before using your refrigerator for the first time, it is advisable to wash the interior and its accessories as
described later under 'Cleaning'.
The bottled gas equipment includes a Piezo crystal lighting device which creates a spark over the burner
when the button. (5) is pushed in fully. No batteries or flints are required to operate this lighter
Before starting the refrigerator, always check that the alternative method of operation is' off' as the
refrigerator should not be operated by both means at the same time_ If the caravan is to be stationary lot a
period, check that the refrigerator is level,
When turning the gas control knob (4) from one position to another, the knob must first be pushed in.
Lighting the Burner
1. Ensure that gas is available from the bottle and turn on any taps in the supply line to the refrigerator.
2 Open the refrigerator door to give easier access to the gas controls.
3. Turn the gas control knob 14) to the maximum position (No. 3) then press in this knob for about 5 to 10
seconds to clear air from the pipeline. (When starting initially, or after changing a gas bottle. it may be
necessary to press in the knob for a longer period to clear all the air from the pipes).
4. Still pressing in the knob (4) push in the button (5), which operates the Piezo ignites, several times in
quick succession until the burner lights. Continue to press in the gas control knob (4) for a further 15
seconds to allow time for the thermocouple tip (over the burner) to heat up.
