17. Electric Operation (230V a.c.) Model RM123 only.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting any mains voltage electricity supply

to a caravan, always make certain that the supply has an effective

earth connection and that polarity is correct in relation to the mains

voltage wiring in the caravan. For safety, it is essential, particularly for

overseas use, to check for earth continuity and correct polarity of the

connected supply. (There are different makes of proprietary polarity

and Earth Continuity monitors on the market for this purpose).

To start the refrigerator on mains voltage electricity,

see that the gas control knob (4, fig. 14a), the igniter switch (5, fig.

14a), and the 12V supply are off. Connect the refrigerator to the

electricity supply socket and switch on. Turn the electric thermostat

dial (6, fig. 15) so that setting 3 or 4 is against the indicator mark.

17a. 12 VOLT ELECTRIC OPERATION

When the caravan is on tow, it is recommended that the refrigerator

is operated electrically, i.e. from the 12V battery in the towing vehicle,

and not by means of bottled gas.

It is important to understand that 12V operation is intended only to be

used whilst the car engine is running and charging the battery, and

for short periods when at rest, otherwise the battery may be

discharged to a point where it will not re-start the engine. When the

caravan is at rest for more than a relatively short period, say about

half an hour, the caravan should be levelled, the refrigerator

disconnected from the 12V supply, and, if required, started up on

bottled gas or mains electricity.

For operation on 12V, the boiler of the cooling unit is fitted with an 75

watts heating element (2, fig. 10), connected to a two way terminal

block (3) at the back of the refrigerator, 12V operation is not

thermostatically controlled therefore the cooling unit will operate all

the time the refrigerator is connect to the 12V supply. (As 12V

operation is intended for use only while the caravan is on tow, over-

cooling is unlikely because of the comparatively short time involved.

If overcooling does occur during extended towing periods, the

refrigerator may be disconnected periodically as experience proves

necessary).

The wiring in the car and caravan to supply the refrigerator from the

main battery in the car should have been installed in accordance with

item 10 on page 6 of the installation section.

To use the refrigerator, on 12V, check that the gas is turned off,

then connect together the plug(s) and socket(s) fitted during

installation, and switch on any switches in the circuit to the

refrigerator.

Note:-Before operating the refrigerator on 12V, it should be pre-

cooled, together with its contents, by running it on bottled gas for a

few before changing over to 12V and starting on a journey.

18. TEMPERATURE REGULATION

After starting the refrigerator, it will take about an hour before the ice-

tray shelf shows signs of cooling.

The gas control knob (4, fig. 14) has four positions, marked 'Off', and

3, 2 and 1, representing three sizes of flame- Maximum, Medium and

Minimum. The amount of cooling produced in the refrigerator will

depend on the size of flame used.

It is preferable to start the refrigerator with the control knob set at

the Maximum flame position (No 3). After an hour or so, it may be

turned to the Medium (No 2) or Minimum (No 1) positions, to

provide the cooling required under the prevailing conditions.

In warm weather, or with a heavy food load, or frequent door

openings, the Medium or Maximum position will usually be

needed, but, in cold weather it may only be necessary to use the

Minimum flame position.

Remember to alter the setting, as necessary, if there is an

appreciable change in room temperature or conditions of use.

When operating on mains electricity, the refrigerator temperature

is thermostatically controlled ant the thermostat dial (6, fig. 15)

should be set with No. 3 or 4 against the indicator mark. Suitable

temperatures will then be maintained in the fridge for general use

but, in hot weather, or if more cooling is required, turn the dial to

a higher number. For less cooling, turn it to a lower number.

19. STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Four half-depth shelves are provided. Two can be used together

to form a full size shelf (with the rear one reversed so that its

raised edge is at the back), or they can be used separately in the

four locations in the lining to leave space for bottles at the front.

To prevent drying out and the transfer of flavours from one food

to another, always store foods in covered containers or plastic

bags. When 'on the move', crumpled pieces of clean paper may

be wedged (temporarily) between the various items to retain

them.

Never put hot food into the refrigerator.

Remember to engage the travel catch when the caravan is to be

on tow (see next item).

20. ICE-MAKING

Fill the ice-tray with water to within 3/16 inch (5 mm) from the top,

and place it on its shelf inside the refrigerator. When the ice has

formed, the tray can be released fron the shelf simply by lifting

one corner.

When operating on gas, ice will be made more quickly if the

control knob (4, fig. 14) is temporarily turned to the Maximum

flame position (No. 3).

21. TRAVEL CATCH

The travel catch (fig. 16) is to keep the refrigerator door securely

closed when the vehicle is on the move. Remember to push the

catch down so that its lower end fully engages the plastic bush in

the top of the door, before moving off.
