Electrolux Van Fridge

The basic answer is yes, but the time interval seems to depend on the gas quality.
Some seems to burn with a dirty brown residue of which I now have some staining the van wall directly above the flue outlet

With the fridge off to clean you will need to remove the top and bottom vent panels (on the top vent, first remove the gas flue end, then the chimney extension).

At the burner end remove the metal cover (one self tapping screw) and place a small piece of cardboard or similar over the burner tube. This prevents soot etc. from falling into the burner slots.

Remove the chimney top with the angled outlet and you will see a bent wire poking out to one side. Pull this out, you will find a spiral baffle on the end.

A long, thin, stiff bristle brush can then be used to clean the chimney.
It will make quite an improvement to the heat exchange.

From the instruction book it says periodic inspection should be carried out once or twice a year.

Quote " Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably clean and free of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning of the burner. The flue and the burner both need cleaning."

It goes on to list the method for doing it. As a non member I cannot post copy of the instructions. I could however Email them.
