7.1 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.
DANGER! Risk of poisoning!
Make sure that the ventilation grilles are not covered and that the escap-
ing gas of the refrigerator is drained correctly to the outside.
NOTICE!
•
Make sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may be
chilled at the selected temperature.
•
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
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.
•
Battery management systems switch off the power supply to the
refrigerator as soon as the vehicle engine is switched off for longer
than 30 minutes. The refrigerator requires a constant DC power sup-
ply to operate. If your vehicle has a battery management system,
deactivate it.
