- about twice as much as is used in the
refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for
corrosion protection (1.8% by weight of the
solvent).

Appliances with Electronics (MES/AES)
Car manufacturers often use a so-called
battery management system, which provides
the caravan with constant voltage in trailer
mode.
Ifthecarandtrailerremainparkedformore
than30minuteswiththeengineswitchedoff,
thebatterymanagementsystemautomatically
switches off the permanent positive supply
to the caravan (to prevent the battery from
discharging).Fridgeswith controlelectronics
(MES/AES)aretheninoperative.
Check whether your drawing vehicle is
equippedwithabatterymanagementsystem.
A permanent 12v power supply must be
guaranteed for operation of the MES/AES
fridges.
Operating the Refrigerator with Gas
It is imperative that the operating pressure
of the pressure reducer on the gas system
corresponds to the data specied on the
rating plate of the refrigerator. Compare the
