HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
General advice
• Switch the refrigerator on approximately 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.
• Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing goods.
•Foods must be packed - best of all in closed
containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or
similar - and stored separately from each
other, in order to prevent drying out or
odours.
• Allow foods that have been warmed up to
cool down before storing.
•Avoid storing products in the refrigerator
that could emit volatile flammable gases.
• Do not expose the refrigerator 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.
• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grills
free from obstructions.
Storing food in the freezer compartment
• Do not keep carbonated drinks in the
freezer.
• The freezer compartment is suitable for
making ice cubes and for short-term storage
of frozen foods. It is not suitable as a means
of freezing foods.
Warning: When ambient temperatures
are lower than +10°C and the refrigerator
is exposed to these temperatures for
extended periods of time, an even
regulation of freezer temperature cannot
be guaranteed for system-related reasons.
This can cause the temperature in the
freezer to rise and the stored goods to
defrost.
Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the
refrigerator has less work to do and the unit has
more reserves.
Warning: Only use drinking water!
Defrosting
As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins inside
the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker on one
side may occur and does not represent a
malfunction. When this layer of frost is about
3mm thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted.
• Switch off the refrigerator, as described
further on.
• Remove all food and the icecube tray.
• Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air
to enter and to prevent formation of mildew.
• After defrosting (freezer compartment and
fins free of frost), wipe both cooling
compartments dry with a cloth.
Note: Water thawing in the main compartment
of the refrigerator runs into an appropriate
container at the back of the refrigerator. From
there, the water evaporates.
Warning: The layer of ice
must never be removed
forcibly, nor may
defrosting be accelerated
using a heat source.
1. Fill the ice cubes with drinking water.
2. Place the ice cube tray in the freezer
compartment.
