The supply pipe should preferably be of copper. If any
other material is used, it must be of a type approved for
use with continuously operating bottled- gas appliances,
and have threaded compression connections throughout.
PUSH-ON CONNECTIONS MUST NOT BE USED (We
do not approve the use of "rubber" type flexible tubing for
connecting permanently operating appliances of this type
in the United Kingdom). All connectors etc. should be of a
type specifically designed for the type and diameter of the
connection pipe used, and screwed joints should be sea-
led with a joining compound approved for use with bottled
gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
pipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by
means of a suitable threaded compression coupling.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a gas cock of
an approved type for use LPG must be incorporated in
the supply line in a position which is readily accessible to
the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union
should be on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework
should be positioned so as not to prevent the
refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regu-
lations and codes of practice. For mains voltage operati-
on, it is important that the circuit to and in the caravan is
effectively earthed.
ALL MAINS VOLTAGE WIRING IN THE CARAVAN
MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CUR-
RENT I.E.E. REGULATIONS INCLUDING THE USE OF
AN OUTLET AND COUPLER TO BS4343/-CEE17.
For connection to a 230 V electricity supply, the refrigera-
tor has a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connec-
tion to a properly earthed plug and socket outlet or fused
spur.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this applian-
ce are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW = EARTH
BLUE = NEUTRAL
BROWN = LIVE
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
in the United Kingdom, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must
be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth symbolor
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or colou-
red red.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED!
In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrigera-
tor must be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a
13 amp.(B.S.1363) fused plug is used, it should be fitted
with a 3 amp. fuse. In other countries, the fuse rating will
depend upon the voltage and local practice.
230 V Supplies
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the
same as the mains voltage in use (230 V).
Electrical leads must be routed and secured
so that they cannot come into contact with hot
or sharp parts of the refrigerator.
12 V Supplies
Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery by a direct
cable. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of
the connecting cable between battery and refrigerator
must be at least 2.5 mm
2
if the distance is less than 9
meters, and at least 4 mm
2
if the distance is more than 9
meters.
To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must
be fitted with a fuse rated at max. 16 A.
To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make
sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off
when the vehicle engine is not running, for example by fit-
ting an ignition control relay.

12 V supply of reigniter (RM 4201/11)
Fig.12 /13 shows the wiring diagramme of the refrigerator
as delivered. The 12 V supply enters at (L). The reigniter
(A) is fed via two wires (1) and (2) at terminal block (L)
(RM 4211).
It is advisable to feed the reigniter and the lighting from a
separate 12 V source. To do this: remove the wires (1)
and (2) and connect the supply as is shown in fig. 11.
The reigniter should not be connected directly to a battery
charger but only over a battery.
