REFRIGERATORS
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
The refrigerator is equipped to operate on three
power modes:
• Mains voltage (230v AC)
• Direct-current voltage (12v DC)
• Gas (liquid gas propane/butane).
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 coo-ling
compartment. The freezer compartment should
be cold about one hour after switching on the
refrigerator.
CLEANING
Before starting up the refrigerator it is
recommended that you clean it inside and
repeat this at regular intervals. Use a soft cloth
and lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
Always dry thoroughly. Keep the condensation
water drain channel free of deposits.
To avoid material alterations, do not use soap or
hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning agents.
Do not allow the door seal to come into contact
with oil or grease.
MAINTENANCE
In compliance with the applicable regulations,
please note that the gas unit and the connected
ventilation ducts must be checked by authorised
technical personnel after first use and after
every other year for compliance with the
European Standard EN 1949. A test certificate
has to be issued. It is the user’s responsibility to
arrange this test.
The gas burner must be inspected and
cleaned as necessary at least once a year.
When using liquefied petroleum gas (tank or
refill cylinders) the maintenance interval is
reduced to half yearly or quarterly. Keep the
evidence of maintenance work carried out on
your refrigerator. Work on gas and electrical
equipment shall be carried out by qualified
personnel only.
DEFROSTING
As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins
inside the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker
on one side may occur and does not represent a
malfunction. When this layer of frost is about 3
mm thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted.
1. Switch off the refrigerator, as described in
section Shutting off the refrigerator.
2. Remove all food and the ice cube tray.
3. Leave the refrigerator door open to allow
air to enter and to prevent formation of
mildew.
4. After defrosting (freezer compartment
and fins free of frost) wipe both cooling
compartments dry with a cloth.
Water thawing in the main
compartment of the refrigerator runs
into an appropriate container at the
back of the refrigerator. From there,
the water evaporates.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICES
Ammonia (a natural compound of hydrogen
and nitrogen) is used in the cooling unit as a
coolant. Non-ozone-hazardous cyclopentane
is used as a propellant for manufacturing PU
foam insulation.
Do not dispose of batteries in domestic waste.
Take your used batteries to a collection point.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• At an average ambient temperature of 25°C,
it is sufficient to operate the refrigerator at
middle thermostat setting. Where possible,
always store pre-cooled products.
• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight or any other heat source (e.g.
heater).
• Ensure that air circulation of the refrigeration
unit is not obstructed.
• Arrange the shelves evenly in the
refrigerator (in the cooling compartment)
in order to achieve the most efficient use of
energy. Do not overfill the storage grids and
compartments to prevent obstructing the
internal air circulation.
• Maintain a clearance of approx. 10 mm
between chilled products and post-
evaporator ‘cooling fins’.
