Can anyone tell me how to operate this fridge I can't get it going.

Ron

Do you want it to go on gas or  mains elec or 12v --------     mains just plug in  -------    12v just plug in to little round socked like cig thing in car ------  Gas bit harder to explain but will have a go ------ need length of pipe conect to gas bottle via a regulator  prime, then push and hold gas botton press button that ignights gas hold down for few mins   and should do it

good luck

If still stuck let me know which bit and i will find my instucion book and type word for word what it says

The following is based on the instructions for a Groenland (Camping Gaz) CTL350. All 3 way fridges are virtually identical, so this should work with yours.

Do not attempt to power the fridge using more than one input at a time!

For 240V (use 10 Amp fuse) set the temperature control to the coldest setting and switch on. It can take an hour or so to get noticeably cool, and up to 5 hours to get really cold, when you can set the temperature control to the level you require.

For 12V use an 8 Amp fused supply with a heavy enough cable. It is recommended to cool it first on 240V. There is no temperature regulation on 12V. It is safe to run on 12V whilst driving.

For Butane or Propane, use a low pressure regulator and use in a well ventilated area with the fridge on level ground. You will first need to turn the regulator a little, then hold down the safety pilot button for 15 seconds to purge air from the gas pipe. Then keep holding this button down while you press the ignition button to light the flame. This can take many clicks. The flame will be visible at the back of the fridge through a small opening at the bottom. Once it's alight, hold the safety pilot button down for 15 seconds then release. Adjust temperature to suit.

I found the best results were to be had using gas, 240V almost as good and 12V mediocre. I ended up using a heavy duty inverter and running on 240V from a 12V car battery when on the move, changing to gas or 240V mains when on site.
