• If the electrical specifications are correct, push the safety electrical plug into an earthed wall socket which is wired according to the specifications. STARTUP

• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the MAX position. The effects of the cooling process (frost on the evaporator) only become visible after about an hour.

• The thermostat enables the temperature of the cool box to be adjustable (“0”=cooling process stopped).

• After a sufficient cooling period (approximately 5 hours), the thermostat can be set to an intermediate position. The selected temperature is regulated automatically by the thermostat. Shut-down

• Turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise to the “0” position.

• Remove the plug from the wall outlet.

• When changing the gas cylinder and/or disconnecting the hose, it is mandatory to close the valve of the gas cylinder.

• Replace the hose if it is damaged or if it becomes porous and in any case before the expiry date printed on the side.

• This assembly consists of an adjusting device with an incorporated safety pilot, a burner with an electric igniter.

• The adjusting device can be set to 3 different positions: Max Maximum cooling MIN Minimum cooling 0 off Igniting position / burner gas supply closed

• The safety pilot automatically maintains the gas supply to the burner, as long as it remains lit. It automatically shuts off the supply if the flame goes out.

IGNITION OF THE GAS BURNER

• Open the valve of the gas cylinder. Press the adjusting knob and hold it in this position, then turn the knob anti-clockwise to Max.

• If the appliance has not been ignited for a long period, or if the gas cylinder has been changed, there may be some air in the duct, so it may fail to be ignited. It is necessary to check that the pilot is lit by looking through the orifice at the top of the appliance. If the appliance fails to be ignited, try it again after approximate 10 seconds.

• When the outside temperature is low, set the adjusting device to MIN after a sufficient long cool-down period in MAX position. To disconnect an appliance running on gas far from any source of ignition

• Shut off the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator. Turn the knob to the OFF position. Storing food

• Liquids to be stored in cool box shall always be placed in a closed vessel.

• The air circulation inside the appliance must not be obstructed. Never place hot food or drink in the appliance. Never keep ammable liquids and/or gases inside the cool box. Danger of explosion. DEFROSTING MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT UNUSED FOR A LONG PERIOD The cool box must be defrosted regularly, in order to ensure that it operates correctly.
