IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK
Check the following points before calling a
service technician:
1. That the "STARTING THE
REFRIGERATOR" instructions have been
followed.
2. The refrigerator is level.
3. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on
any of the connected sources of energy.
4. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas,
check:
- That the gas bottle is not empty
- That the LP gas valves are open.
5. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V,
check:
- That the 12 V supply is connected to
the refrigerator.
- That the fuse on the 12 V supply is
intact.
- That the battery is not run down.
6. If the refrigerator fails to work on
230V, check:
- That the 230V supply is connected to
the refrigerator.
- That the fuse is intact.
If the refrigerator is not cooling
sufficiently, the reason may be:
1. Inadequate ventilation of the cooling unit
due to the intake and/or exhaust air vents
being partly or completely blocked.
2. The evaporator is frosted up.
3. Incorrect thermostat settings.
4. Incorrect gas pressure - please check the
pressure regulator on the gas container.
5. The ambient temperature is too high.
6. Too much food is loaded at one time.
7. The door is not properly closed or the
magnetic sealing strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work
properly, call a service technician.
The sealed cooling system must not be
opened, since it contains corroding
chemicals under high pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Always turn to a qualified service technician
who is familiar with LP gas systems and
refrigerators.
We recommend that a service technician
check the refrigerator once a year.
• Check all connections in the LP gas
system for gas leaks. Connections can
be tested for leaks using a soap solution.
Do not use a naked flame! If there is any
suspicion of damage, call for a service
technician
• The ventilation openings are
unobstructed.
• The Instruction Manual is available.
• Check that the burner is clean and free
from combustible material.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
• The refrigerator is not operating on 12 V
when the vehicle is parked, otherwise you
will drain the car battery in a short time.
• Defrosting is carried out periodically.
• 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 odour are
well packed.
• The ventilation openings are
unobstructed.
• The doors are secured by means of both
travel catches when the caravan is on the
move.
