Using the Refrigerator:
The refrigerator operates silently. A mild odor may be present initially, dissipating with ventilation. The freezer compartment chills within an hour, and the main compartment reaches operating temperature in several hours.
Controls:
Manual Ignition (e.g., RM 6270L): Features an energy selector switch (A), gas/electric thermostat (B), and manual ignition button (C).
Automatic Ignition (e.g., RM 6271L): Includes an energy selector switch (A), gas/electric thermostat (B), and an 'automatic ignition' indicator (D).
The refrigerator can run on mains power, DC, or liquid gas. The energy selector switch (A) allows choosing between AC mains, DC (12V), gas, or OFF.
Electrical Operation:
12V DC: Use only while the motor is running. Operates without thermostatic control.
Mains Power: Ensure voltage matches the data plate. Rotary switch (B) regulates temperature.
Gas Operation:
Use only liquid gas (propane/butane). Prohibited in petrol stations. Requires opening gas cylinder and shut-off valves. Ignition can be manual (Piezo) or automatic. All models have automatic flame protection.
