Biad 7 Bottled Gas Operation - Lighting the burner INTRODUCTION To ensure satisfactory and economical operation, it is essential that the refrigerator is installed as directed in the Electrolux Installation Instructions, and is used in accordance with these instructions. The ventilation openings for air circulation over the cooling unit must not be reduced in size or obstructed in any way otherwise the performance of the cooling unit may be impaired and consumption increased. [. . . ] It is essential that a reliable pressure regulator, set to deliver no more than the appropriate pressure shown in the table, is fitted directly to the gas bottle. Needle valve operated gas control taps are NOT suitable for use with this refrigerator and must not be used as a substitute for a pressure regulator. Before using the refrigerator, check from the label attached to it that the gas equipment is correct for the gas and gas pressure to be used. If it is not, the burner, jet, and combined gas control valve and flame failure device must be changed for the correct size or type in accordance with the table below. For future reference, any changes made should be recorded on or beside the data label. STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR (see fig. 2) Before using your refrigerator for the first time, it is advisable to wash the interior and its accessories as described later under 'Cleaning'. To start the refrigerator on electricity, see that the gas control knob (5) is at '0' (off), set the voltage selector switch (7) to the voltage required, then connect the refrigerator to the appropriate voltage supply. If on mains voltage (220-240), turn the thermostat knob (6) to setting No. 3 or 4. The bottled gas equipment includes a Piezo crystal lighting device which creates a spark over the burner when the button (4) is pushed in fully. No batteries or flints are required to operate this lighter. Before starting the refrigerator, always check that the alternative method of operation is off as the refrigerator should not be operated by both means at the same time. If the caravan is to be stationary for a period, check that the refrigerator is level. TEMPERATURE REGULATION After starting up the refrigerator, it will take about an hour before there are signs of cooling. When operating on mains voltage electricity, the refrigerator is thermostatically controlled and the thermostat knob (6) should be set to No. This will maintain a suitable temperature in the refrigerator and frozen food storage compartment for general use but, in hot weather, or if more cooling is required, the knob should be turned to a higher number. If less cooling is required, the knob should be turned to a lower number. (This does not apply to 12 volt operation which is not thermostatically controlled). For operation on gas, the refrigerator should be started off with the gas control (5) set at 'T. This will provide suitable temperatures in the refrigerator in warm weather, but if the fresh food compartment becomes too cold, especially in cooler weather, turn the gas control k n o b t o ' 2 ' o r '1'. Remember to return it to a higher setting when necessary, - if the weather becomes warm again for instance. storage compartment, and do not attempt to defrost more quickly with an electric fire or other form of heat as this may damage the plastic surfaces. Defrost water will run via a tube at the back into the drip collector fixed to the rear of the refrigerator, where it will evaporate into the circulating air. When all frost has melted, wipe dry the frozen food storage com partment and cabinet interior, then re-start the refrigerator, setting the gas control knob or voltage selector switch and thermostat knob to their respective positions. Replace the fresh and frozen food, but wait until the cabinet has cooled down again before making ice. Remember that if the temperature of frozen food is allowed to rise unduly during defrosting, its storage life may be shortened. CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals as necessary. [. . . ] To do this, turn the gas control knob to '3', when the colour of the flame should be predominantly blue. If this is not the case, the refrigerator should be emptied, disconnected, and removed from the recess, and the flue, burner and jet cleaned as described below. (The outer cover of the flue outlet will have to be removed and the flue extension tube withdrawn from the outside before the refrigerator can be moved). When the refrigerator is out of the recess, proceed as follows. [. . . ]
