[. . . ] RC1200 EGP Type: JCB - 7 0402 Operating instructions GB 207. 5397. 07 Dear customer, please read the instruction book and all additional information before using the appliance. It is most important that they should be retained with the appliance for future reference! 1. Warnings and directions These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance! [. . . ] The temperature can be regulated using the thermostat knob: '0'=off, 17 increasing degrees of coolness. After sufficient cooling (approximately 5 hours), the thermostat position can be set to a lower temperature, between 2-5. The thermostat will now automatically regulate the set temperature. 1) Turn thermostat knob (A) anticlockwise to position '0' (a slight resistance will be felt just before this position). D/C operation Do not use any additional form of energy (mains/gas). A safety fuse must be installed in the electricity supply between battery and refrigerator in a duct. cable lengths Cable cross section 12 V until 2. 5 m 2. 5 mm2 until 4. 0 m 4. 0 mm2 until 6. 0 m 6. 0 mm2 It is not necessary to consider the polarity when connecting the unit. Check that the battery voltage corresponds with the line-voltage data on the cooling unit type-plate. If no battery is used independently of the vehicle, the cooling unit is only to be used when the vehicle is in motion, since, when the engine is not running, the battery can discharge to such an extent that the engine will not restart. Recommendation: Before a journey, pre-cool the unit using the supply voltage. To turn on The car plug fitted to the connecting cable is to be plugged into the socket/cigar lighter (car plugs are not supplied with every model). When using battery operation, the cooling performance is not thermostatically regulated, i. e. knob (A) is ineffective. 5 When knob (A) is ineffective or if the temperature is unnecessarily too low: Turn off unit Pull out plug from socket. 8. Liquid gas operation Do not use any additional form of energy (mains/battery). The unit must not be connected to town or natural gas pipelines. It is only suitable for use with propane/butane gas (e. g. Calor Gas, Camping Gaz, Caravangas, etc). The specified gas-connection pressure is given in mbar on the type plate (see back of appliance). It is important that a non adjustable pressureregulator is used to reduce the pressure in the gas cylinder to the operating pressure specified on the rating-plate, no other pressure may be used. Needle valve operated gas control taps are NOT suitable for use with this appliance and must not be used as a substitute for a pressure regulator. 9. Connecting the cooling unit to the gas cylinder (The following instructions refer in the main to coolers manufactured for the United Kingdom. For other countries please refer to your supplier). [. . . ] has the electrothermostat been correctly adjusted?in the case of gas operation, has the safety pilot knob (regulator) been pressed down long enough?has the regulating knob been turned to the correct position?is the gas cylinder or pressure regulating valve open?
