5.1. Operating from electrical mains
Warning: Electrical grounding instructions: This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptable. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. The cord is approximately 5 feet long and a grounded three-prong receptable should be installed in an accessible position within reach of the plug. Do not use any extension cords! When connecting the appliance for the first time, set the thermostat to maximum; then, after about five hours, set it back to a medium position. This is suitable for general refrigeration requirements. NB: Plug is provided according to specific regulations in each country and may be different to that shown.
5.2. Operating from vehicle battery
Make sure the voltage shown on the data plate of the appliance matches the voltage of the vehicle battery (12V). 12V DC voltage appliances are equipped with connectors that can be plugged into cigarette lighters (Figure 3.). For some types of vehicle, you may need to remove the red plastic ring located on the end of the connector. To do so, turn the plastic ring in an anticlockwise direction and pull it off. The appliance can then be connected to the cigarette lighter. In 12V operation, the appliance runs uninterrupted without temperature control. For 12V operation, make sure, if the engine is not running, that the appliance connector is removed from the cigarette lighter. Otherwise, the appliance will discharge the vehicle battery when in operation.

5.3. Liquid gas operation
Connection to the gas cylinder is described in sections 11.3. and 11.4. After opening the gas cylinder valve, push the safety gas valve down (Figure 4) and set it to the large flame symbol, holding it down for about 10 seconds. Keep the button pressed down and press the piezo-igniting button (marked with a star) several times one after the other. If the flame does not ignite, repeat the process. (Air in the appliance gas line prior to connection to the gas cylinder must be evacuated. Only then can the gas be lit.) Ignition of the flame can be verified through the flameview opening (Figure 5). After you have got the flame keep the safety gas valve down another 20 seconds. If, for any reason, the gas flame extinguishes, the flame safety device is working automatically and shuts off gas supply. While the button is pushed, this device is temporary inoperative. 6
