4.1.2 Powering with gas

Warning!

- Flammable material must be kept away from the refrigerator.

- For selection of gas type, see the information plate inside your refrigerator.

- For the pressure regulator model, see the information plate inside your

refrigerator and the table at the end of this booklet.

- The type of gas container and its location must be in compliance with the most

recent regulations. Ensure that the unit is installed in a location with good

ventilation and make sure that the ventilation openings in the gas container

storage location remain open.

- The changing of the gas container must be done outside in the open air and out

of reach of any possible sources of ignition.

- You are strongly advised not to use gas to power the refrigerator while you are

driving. If a road accident results in fire, there is a danger of explosion.

- You are strongly advised not to use gas to power the refrigerator in the vicinity

of petrol stations.
