NOTICE!
• Make sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may be
kept at the selected temperature.
• Make sure that items in the refrigerator do not block the openings of
the cooling ventilation areas in the main compartment
• Foodstuff 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 conserved
– how often you open the door
• When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild
odour 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
filling the refrigerator before setting off on a journey.
• 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 a longer
period of time. The refrigerator requires a constant DC power supply
to operate. If your vehicle has a battery management system, deacti-
vate it.
