Switching off
To terminate gas operation, turn knob (B) to the "OFF" position.
To terminate gas operation, turn the switch/es to the "OFF" position (A in RM2191)
and (A and E in RM2193).
Place the toggle switch(es) for DC and AC operation to the "OFF" position or turn the gas
valve to position "OFF", as applicable. See FIG. 1.
When not in use, the refrigerator should be emptied, cleaned and dried and the door left
open so that fresh air can circulate inside.
The travel latch placed in the second hole will hold the door ajar and allow air to circulate.
Defrosting
To defrost, take out any food, etc. then turn off the gas valve or switch of the DC/AC sup-
ply to the refrigerator. Leave the refrigerator door open and place a suitable dish or other
receptacle under the evaporator to catch the defrost water.
When all the frost has melted, any remaining drops of water in the refrigerator should be
wiped up with a clean cloth.
Note:
The layer of ice must never be removed forcibly, nor may defrosting be
accelerated using a heat source.
Storing food
Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours before filling it.
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
When taking food out of the refrigerator only open the refrigerator door very briefly.
Foods must be packed - best of all in closed containers - and stored separately from
each other.
Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool down before storing.
Products that could emit volatile, flammable gases must not be stored in the
refrigerator.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Please bear in mind that the
temperature inside a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to sunlight and that
this can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
The air inside the refrigerator unit MUST be able to circulate freely without any hin
drance. (see also section 6.2 "Ventilation" ).
The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term
storage of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.
Switching off gas operation
If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service for an
extended period of time, the on-board shut-off valve and
the cylinder valve must be closed.
