6.1 Tips for using the refrigerator optimally
When the temperature in the interior of the refrigerator exceeds +4 °C, the shelf life
of goods that spoil quickly cannot be guaranteed. To attain an optimal cooling
capacity in the interior of the refrigerator, observe the following information:
• Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours of operation.
• Protect the interior of the vehicle from warming up excessively (e.g. sunshades in
the windows, air conditioner).
• Protect the refrigerator from direct sunlight (e.g. sunshades in the windows).
• Voltage fluctuations can have a negative effective on the cooling capacity. Check
the temperature in the interior of the refrigerator regularly
– when using DC current during the journey
– when using AC current at the site of use
6.2 Energy saving tips
• Choose a well ventilated position which is protected from direct sunlight.
• Allow warm food to cool down first before keeping it cool in the refrigerator.
NOTE
• Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should
clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
• The cooling performance can be affected by
– The ambient temperature (e.g. when the vehicle is exposed to
direct sunlight)
– The amount of food to be refrigerated
– How often you open the door
• When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild
odor which will disappear after a few hours. Air the living space well.
• Park the vehicle so that it is level, especially when starting up and fill-
ing the refrigerator before setting off on a journey.
• The refrigerator unit operates silently.
• Approximately one hour after switching on, the freezer compart-
ment of the refrigerator should be cold. The refrigerator reaches its
operating temperature after a few hours.
• When using the refrigerator in a camper:
If the towing vehicle is equipped with an energy management sys-
tem, the operation of the refrigerator with DC may not always be
ensured. Further information can be obtained from the manufacturer
of your towing vehicle.
