REFRIGERATORS
models) or the energy selector button (MES,
AES). Appliances with automatic energy
selection (AES) are additionally provided with
“automatic mode” function. Then the AES
system automatically selects the best energy
source for each particular situation.
• When the appliance is first put into
operation, there may be a mild odour
which will disappear after a few hours.
• Park the vehicle level, particularly when
starting up the refrigerator and filling
with food before starting a journey.
• The cooling unit is silent in operation.
• The refrigerator will take several hours
to reach its operating temperature in
the cooling compartment. The freezer
compartment should be cold about one
hour after switching on the refrigerator.
We recommend maintenance following
an extended shut-down of the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL OPERATION
12V-VOLTAGE (ON BOARD POWER SUPPLY)
The refrigerator should only be used in 12v DC
operation whilst the caravan is being towed,
otherwise the on-board battery would be
discharged within a few hours.
This operation should only be selected where
the supply voltage of the connection for power
supply corresponds to the value specified on
the data plate. Any difference in values may
result in damage to the appliance.
GAS OPERATION (LIQUID GAS)
• The refrigerator must be operated using
liquid gas (propane, butane) (no natural gas
or town gas).
• When using LPG gas, please consider
that the burner needs cleaning at shorter
intervals due to the gas combustion method
(2 - 3 times per year recommended).
• In Europe, gas operation is permitted while
travelling only on the condition that the
gas system of the vehicle is equipped with
a hose rupture protection. The national
regulations of the respective country must
be observed.
• For physical reasons, gas ignition faults
could occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 3280ft. / 1000m.
• On the initial refrigerator start-up or after
a cylinder change, air may be trapped in
the gas line. To purge the air from the lines,
switch on the refrigerator and any other
gas appliances (e.g. stove) for a short time.
The gas ignites without delay.
• Each refrigerator with manual ignition is
equipped with an automatic flame safety
valve which interrupts the gas supply
automatically after approx. 30 seconds
when the flame has extinguished.
As a basic rule, gas operation is
prohibited in petrol stations
