OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFRIGERATOR
CONTROLS
All letters A-E listed below, refer to fig 1.
The refrigerator can be operated on LP Gas or 220V
B = Igniter
E = Safety Valve
TO START OPERATION ON LP GAS
- Switch of 220V.
- Open the shut-off valve for the gas bottle. (check that there is enough gas ). Open any shut-off valve of the gas installation
- Keep the flame failure device knob, (E), pressed in for approximately 15 seconds.
- Operating the igniter, (B), until the flame lights by pressing in and then releasing the button.
- Keep the knob, (E), pressed in for a further 15 seconds and then release it. During this time the gas flame indicator, (C), and needle,(D),
will move into the green section, designating the flame is burning. If the needle returns to its original place, repeat steps 3,4 and 5 until
the needle remains in the green section.(Optional) - To terminate gas operation, turn off valve to gas bottle.
NOTE:
If the piezo igniter,(B), does not spark properly, as can occur in extremely damp and humid conditions, the burner can be lit directly with a
match by a second person instead of using step number 4.
If strong gust wind prevail, regularly check that the gas flame indicator needle,(D), remains in the green section to ensure that the wind has not
extinguished the flame. If it has, repeat steps 3,4 and 5, or use another mode of operation.(Optional)
After initial installation, changing of gas cylinder, or servicing etc, the gas pipes may contain some air, which should be allowed to escape by
briefly pressing on the flame failure device,(E), this will ensure the flame lights quickly.
The flame failure,(E), should never be depressed for periods longer than 15 seconds with the burner unlit, as this can cause a potential build
up of un burnt gas.
If the burner does not ignite, allow sufficient time for any un burnt gas to disperse, then repeat the ignition steps.
220V OPERATION
Shut off gas supply & connect 220V supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK:
CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
- That the instructions for starting the refrigerator have been followed.
- The refrigerator is level.
- If it is possible to start the unit on any of the connected sources of energy.
- If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check
- That the gas bottle is not empty.
- That all LP gas valves are open.
- That the regulator is not faulty.
- If the refrigerator fails to work on 220V check
- That the 220V supply is connected to the unit.
- That there are no loose connections.
- That the heating element has not burnt out.
IF THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT COLD ENOUGH IT MAY BE BECAUSE
1. The ventilation of the absorption unit is inadequate, allow at least 50mm around back and side and 600mm above.
2. The evaporator is frosted up; see defrosting.
3. The temperature control setting is incorrect.
4. The gas pressure is incorrect, check the pressure regulator at the gas cylinder or the orifice of the burner, (if the orifice is blocked,
remove orifice, clean with alcohol or other solvent and blow through with compressed air. NEVER use a piece of wire or a pin).
5. The ambient temperature is to high.
6. Too much food is loaded in at one time.
7. The lid is not properly closed.
8. The baffle has not been inserted into the chimney.
9. The absorption unit is leaking, a leak can be determined in the case of visible leak on the evaporator inside the cabinet, a smell of
ammonia may be noticeable. If a leak is detected, under NO circumstances should you try to repair it, as the unit is pressurized with
hydrogen and may explode if welding is attempted on the leak.
CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN!
10. There may be a drop in supply voltage.
11. If the flame fails to stay alight after releasing the flame failure device
Knob (B) according to the instructions, there may be two faults, these
These being:
a) The magnet in the fail-safe is faulty.
b) The thermocouple feeler point may not be in the flame properly.
To rectify this loosen the bottom nut to the feeler point and push forward until the point is over the burner, then tighten the top nut on
the feeler point.
Repeat the starting instructions.
12. If the refrigerator is still not working properly, call a qualified service technician to repair it.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
1. Defrosting is carried out periodically
2. The refrigerator is clean and dry with the lid open when it is not to be used for some time.
3. Liquids or items with strong odours are well packed.
4. The ventilation of the absorption unit is not obstructed.
5. You do not touch the absorption unit while it is in operation as part of it will be extremely hot.
6. Check the condition of the gas regularly.
• End fittings in good condition
• Overall appearance, etc.
7. You switch on the fridge for approximately 12 hours prior to loading it with foodstuff.
8. You never put bottled or cans of fizzy drinks into the freezer compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also do not give children
ice-lollies straight from the freezer compartment as they could cause frost burn.
9. Hot liquids and foods are not introduced into the fridge, allow to cool first.
10. You are aware that the temperature in the fridge can vary according to the ambient temperature, the location of the fridge, the
frequency with which the lid is opened, and the volume, concentration of products stored in it.
11. You avoid packing products in it toot tightly, air must be able to circulate freely.
CLEANING YOUR FRIDGE
Cleaning your fridge using a half a liter of warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda. Soak a cloth, wring it out and use it to clean the interior
of the fridge and its fittings. Do not use wax polish, scouring powder, strong scented products or household cleaners and detergents to clean
the interior of the fridge as they may damage the surface and leave a strong odour. The exterior of the freezer should be wiped clean now and
again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent. But not the lid seal, which should only be cleaned with soap and water and then
thoroughly dried. The absorption unit behind the fridge should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that the fridge is
switched off when doing this.
DEFROSTING
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surface. It must not be allowed to grow thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects
the fridge’s performance.
Check the formation of frost regularly and when it gets about 5mm thick, defrost the fridge.
To defrost the fridge, turn off and remove all food items.
WARNING:
Normally the temperature of items would rise unduly during defrosting and so they should be consumed within 24 hours or discarded.
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliances, as this might damage the plastic surface of the fridge. Neither
should any sharp objects be used to scrape of the ice.
Once defrosting is finished, empty out the water and thoroughly clean the interior.
PROLONGED STORAGE:
Disconnect all electrical connections and the gas supply.
Empty the fridge and clean it thoroughly.
Leave the lid partially open to exclude any odours and moulds from forming.
IMPORTANT:
Before using the fridge again, ensure that no foreign bodies are present in the chimney or the burner (dust, insects, nest, etc ).
WARNING
The needle valve screw used for admitting the ammonia/hydrogen filling charge to an absorption unit is fitted to the unit’s reservoir. It is strictly
applied provision of the guarantee extended on the unit to the customer, that any interference with the filling valve screw will automatically void
the guarantee. The absorption unit must not be opened since it contains corroding chemicals under high pressure.
