The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now
and then, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of de-
tergent. But not the door gasket, which should only be
cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly dried.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned
with a brush from time to time. Make sure that the refrige-
rator is switched off when doing this!
TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERA-
TOR
To turn off the refrigerator, turn knob (A) to “OFF”
position.
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1. Turn knob (A) to “OFF” position.
2. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to
the refrigerator.
3. Empty the refrigerator.
4. Defrost and clean it as described in sections
“DEFROSTING” and “CLEANING THE REFRIG-
ERATOR”.
5. Leave the doors ajar.
PRODUCT CARE - SOME USEFUL
HINTS

hicle is parked; otherwise you will drain the car battery
in a short time.

• The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left open
when it is not to be used for some time.
• Liquids or items with a strong odor are well packed.
• The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
• The door is secured by means of the travel catch when
the motor home / caravan is on the move.
