4.12.7 Door locking mechanism
The refrigerator door has an automatic locking mechanism. The door
locks automatically when you press it shut firmly. The lock releases
unnoticed when you open the refrigerator with your hand. This automatic
locking mechanism also keeps the refrigerator door shut during driving.
For some models an additional security device is fitted below the
refrigerator. By pushing the locking bar over the closed refrigerator door
you can make doubly sure that the door does not come open during your
journey.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for a prolonged period of time,
you can use the special hook of the door locking mechanism to prevent odours. Turn the hook a quarter
of one rotation to position it at right-angles to the refrigerator. In this position, the hook prevents the
door from closing.

4.13.1 Switching on the refrigerator
● Clean the inside of the refrigerator before you switch it on.
● Let the refrigerator cool for at least eight hours before you place food in it for the first time.
● The freezer compartment should be cold one hour after switching on the refrigerator.
4.13.2 Igniting and starting your refrigerator
● The refrigerator can be powered by the mains (230V), direct current (12V) or liquid gas. Select the
energy source that you want by means of the energy source selector switch (A). The switch has four
settings:
- direct current (DC)
- gas
- mains supply - switched off
● The thermostat controls the refrigerator temperature when the refrigerator is powered from the mains
(230V). Position 5 is the coldest temperature setting.
● The gas control button controls the refrigerator temperature when the refrigerator is powered by
gas. Position 5 is the coldest temperature setting.
● The flame meter shows whether the flame is burning. The flame is burning when the meter comes
into the green area.
● Pressing the manual (piezoelectric) starter produces a spark that ignites the flame in the burner.
