Installation; Filling The Tank; Lighting The Burner; Important - Sibir S150 KE Installation Et Utilisation

INstALLAtION

• The cabinet should be installed on a firm floor and must be in
a horizontal position. Use a water level and check both ways
in the freezer compartment.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in a room subject to high
temperatures or strong draughts.
See that a space of at least 16 inches (00 mm) is left free
•
above the top of the cabinet to allow an unrestricted circula-
tion of air, which is essential for the efficient operation of the
refrigerator. The ventilation opening at the top of the cabinet
must not be covered in any way.
• The refrigerator should not be placed in a small pantry or
similar location.
• The flue baffle must be positioned as shown on the illustra-
tion.

FILLINg the tANK

Always use the kerosene funnel when filling the tank, and fill
•
until the gauge pointer approaches the red mark.
• Clean off any kerosene on the top of the tank. If kerosene
overflows, the tank should be removed from the refrigerator
and wiped clean.
• Do not let the tank run dry while the refrigerator is in use
because refrigeration will be interrupted and a portion of the
wick will be burned off, reducing the life of the wick.
Always use best quality burning kerosene (Paraffin) and
see that it is kept clean, dry and unadulterated. Under no
circumstances must vaporizing kerosene, petrol or spirit of
any kind be used.

LIghtINg the BUrNer

Remember that the kerosene lamp is an essential part of the
refrigerator and that care taken to maintain it in good condition
is well repaid. Before lighting a new wick for the first time,
allow the wick to become soaked with kerosene for at least two
hours.

Important

1. When lighting the burner, remove the gallery, lamp glass
and seal ring as one unit after turning the gallery anticlock-
wise to unlock, FIG. 2.
Do not attempt to light the burner by turning up the wick
as high as it will go, leaving the gallery in place, as this
will damage the wick and result in unsatisfactory refrigera-
tion.
2. Adjust the wick turner so that the wick height is about 1/8"
(3 mm) above the top of the outer wick tube, FIG. 2.
3. Light the wick. Allow the flame to travel round the wick,
and replace the gallery complete with lamp glass and seal
ring.
. Turn the gallery clockwise until locked securely in posi-
tion. Should the flame be extinguished, relight, following
the above procedure.
. Push the tank into the tank holder underneath the cabinet
and at the rear of the refrigerator.
6. Slide the tank carefully forwards against the guide pin.
7. Carefully lift the tank by means of the lever arm and check
that the guide pin enter the hole in the bracket on the left
side of the burner, FIG. 3.
Make sure that the sealing ring on the top of the lamp glass
seals against the bottom of the flue tube, it should not be
any air gap between the flue tube and the sealing ring.
8. Lock the lever arm in the position were the sealing ring
seals against the flue tube.
9. The burner should burn with a blue flame; a partly or
wholly yellow flame indicates an air gap and must be
adjusted.
10. When the burner is in position under the flue tube, adjust
the wick to produce a medium-high blue flame. Wait 30
minutes to allow the burner to warm up before making any
further wick adjustments.
To obtain better cooling, turn the wick up which raises the
light-blue flame. To make the refrigeration less cold, turn the
wick down to give a blue flame of reduced height. To maintain
steady cabinet temperatures the refrigerator should operate
continuously day and night.
NOTE!
Never operate the burner with a flame having yellow tips
or streaks on or in the bright blue lower portion, or with
a wholly yellow flame. Such conditions will result in rapid
carbonizing of the wick, smell, and possible damage to the
cooling unit. Do not force wick turner if it will not turn
readily, as this may be an indication that the burner needs
cleaning or that the wick should be replaced.
