T
he gas installation should only be carried out by an autho-
r
ized gas fitter.
T
he supply pipe should preferably be of copper. If any other
m
aterial is used, it must be of a type approved for use with
c
ontinuously operating bottled- gas appliances, and have
t
hreaded compression connections throughout. PUSH-ON
C
ONNECTIONS MUST NOT BE USED (We do not
a
pprove the use of "rubber" type flexible tubing for connec-
t
ing permanently operating appliances of this type in the
U
nited Kingdom). All connectors etc. should be of a type
s
pecifically designed for the type and diameter of the con-
n
ection pipe used, and screwed joints should be sealed with
a
joining compound approved for use with bottled gas.
T
he gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
p
ipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by
m
eans of a suitable threaded compression coupling.
I
n making the connection to the refrigerator, a gas cock of
a
n approved type for use on LPG must be incorporated in
t
he supply line in a position which is readily accessible to
t
he user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should
b
e on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should
b
e positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from
b
eing readily withdrawn.

LECTRICAL CONNECTION
T
he electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
a
nd durable manner, taking into account all relevant regula-
t
ions and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation, it
i
s important that the circuit to and in the caravan is effec-
t
ively earthed. ALL MAINS VOLTAGE WIRING IN THE
C
ARA-VAN MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
W

I
MPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance

G
REEN-AND-YELLOW = EARTH
B
LUE = NEUTRAL
B
ROWN = LIVE
A
s the colours of the wires may not correspond with the
c
oloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, in
t
he United Kingdom, proceed as follows:
T
he wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be
c
onnected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
t
he letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or
g
reen-and-yellow.
T
he wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
t
erminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
T
he wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to
t
he terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
r
ed.
I
n the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrige-rator
m
ust be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a 13
a
mp.(B.S.1363) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a
3
amp. fuse. In other countries, the fuse rating will depend
u
pon the voltage and local practice.

t

T
o ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be
f
itted with a fuse rated at max. 16 A.
T
o prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make
s
ure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when
t
he vehicle engine is not running, for example by fitting an
i
gnition control relay.

F
ig. 12 shows the wiring diagramme of the refrigerator as
d
elivered. The 12 V supply enters at (L). The reigniter (A) is
f
ed via two wires (1) and (2) at terminal block (L).
I
t is advisable to feed the reigniter and the lighting from a
s
eparate 12 V source. To do this: remove the wires (1) and
(
2) and connect the supply as is shown in fig. 11.
I
n some executions there in an extra terminal block (J), of
f
ig. 12. In this case one disconnects the wires as said above
b
ut connects the separate supply to (J).
T
he reigniter should not be connected directly to a battery
c
harger but only over a battery.
Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that
they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts
of the refrigerator.
