[. . . ] View of the appliance Figure 1. 1. Cleaning Clean both the inside and outside of the appliance before putting it into use. To do so, use a soft towel, lukewarm water and a non-abrasive detergent. Ensure water does not enter the rear cover grill or the control panel. [. . . ] After you have the flame alight keep the safety gas valve pressed down for a further 10 seconds. Figure 4. Operating from LP bottled gas Figure 5. 6 6. Useful suggestions When setting out on a trip, run the appliance on 230 V for 24 hours prior to departure. Place food in a pre-cooled condition into the appliance. Frost forms on the evaporator panel when in operation. When opening the lid or putting in food, some of this frost melts and collects in the form of water on the bottom of the appliance. Wipe the water off occasionally using a sponge. Avoid putting foods with fragile packaging (such as glass) into the refrigeration unit. Movements and shaking of the unit may cause these items to break. Once the RC 1180 is in its permanent position, make sure foods do not come into contact with the evaporator panel, as this can cause freezerburn to the foods. The appliance is not operated on 12 Volts when your vehicle is parked, otherwise you will drain the battery in a short time. Only one power source is used at a time to run the appliance. 7. Secure earth wire firmly (Polarity is not important). Attention: Connection to the positive pole may only be made through a 16A fuse!The 12V operation is cut off by disconnecting the plug. Push the fixing tab with a screw-driver as can be seen in fig. after that the plug can be disconnected. Recommended 12 Volt wiring for vehicle: Two wires must be run direct to the battery one to each terminal. These wires must be no less than 6 mm2 auto cable and kept to a practical minimum length. A 16 Amp fuse must be fitted in the positive lead as close as practical to the battery terminal. A 16 Amp switch may be fitted in a convenient position to switch the current on or off to the appliance. All electrical connections must be of good quality to avoid voltage drop. Note: it is NOT recommended to run this 12 Volt appliance from a 12 Volt cigarette lighter outlet. Figure 6. 9. 3 Connecting to LP gas cylinder Make sure no other energy source is connected (230V, 12V). [. . . ] When fitting the connection to the gas inlet of the appliance by applying a fork-spanner, hold counterpart to avoid straining and possibly damaging. The gas bottle (Propane) may only be used in an upright position and particular care must be taken every time the appliance is connected to the gas bottle to ensure that there are no leaks, that the tubing (rubber hose) is not under tension or kinked, and that it is not in contact with hot surfaces. The tubing and the gas bottle should always be located in positions where they will not be tripped over or otherwise inadvertently disturbed. Before attempting to light the burner, every time after connection, turn on the gas at the bottle and check the gas connections for leaks by applying a soap and water solution over them and watching for bubbles, which would indicate a leak.
