Plug the 220~240 V connection cable into the 220 ~ 240 V AC voltage mains.

Turn the thermostat clockwise from ” min-max” position.
Set temperature: turn the thermostat clockwise to require position.
In about 2 hours after operation you will see the significant cooling temperature in about 5C degree. If It is operating low room temperature you can consider to adjust MAX to half way or MIN that is avoiding your storage food fresh vegetable or drinks get freezing.

NOTE! AC thermostat only adjust the temperature in AC For the AC connection please check the voltage is AC off just turn the power to the OFF position then the power

Connecting to a battery DC 12V (vehicle or boat)

Only select one power i.e. DC then turn to the power switch to DC Battery sign. Then plug in the DC cigar lighter plug onto your motor home, caravan or automobile. (do not connect 220-240V is the AC function with the detachable AC plug head from fridge) There is a fuse on the DC plug head to prevent the overloading of power of the battery.

The fridge starts cooling the interior

Connecting of Gas supply

The correct connection of the fridge has to be carried by a skilled specialist.
Only use cylinders of propane or butane gas (not natural gas or city gas) with an approved pressure reduction valve and suitable head. Be assure the gas pressure to be correct on regulator. Only operate the fridge at the pressure shown on the type of plate.
Always operate the fridge in Gas mode in a good ventilation or outdoor
To avoid rain or water to spill Into the fridge as it is working by burner system on back side of fridge.
Do not operate the gas connection in an underground or closed area. Do not operate the gas fridge directly under the sunshine.

Insert battery for the Gas Ignition (replacing battery)
Place the battery AAA type into the battery rack on the base of the control panel bar.

Without the battery the gas ignition would not work !
Do not connect the other power source (AC, DC) as you are
operating the gas.

Turning on the Gas
To connect the fridge to the pressure-regulator on an APPROVED FLEXIBLE GAS TUBE must be used. This must not be longer than 1 Meter and should have a flexible gas tube inside dimension 8mm. The tube must not be twisted! Ensure that the tube is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the barbecue other than at its connection.

The pressure-regulator must be compatible for Butane (28mbar) or for Propane (37mbar). Use a suitable regulator certified to EN 16129: 2013. To connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder, the valve of Cylinder must be closed. Connect the pressure-regulator to the cylinder by screwing . EASTON-522348
