7. Making ice
The ice-tray holder and ice-tray accessories delivered
with the appliance allow ice cubes to be made. To do
so, first insert the ice-tray holder panel into the groove
of the plastic holder. Make sure the perforated part of
the panel enters the groove (Figure 9).
Next, fill the ice tray with water (up to about 4 mm
below the edge) and put on the cover.
Place the ice tray on the ice-tray holder panel, so that
its outer edge is below the edge of the plastic cover
(Figure 10). This prevents the ice tray from falling from
the holder when the vehicle is in motion.
The plastic cover of the ice-tray holder is not
completely watertight when fastened. For this reason,
a few drops of water may come from the ice-tray
holder. This is not unusual and does not cause any
problem.
8. Useful suggestions
When setting out on a trip, run the appliance on 230 V for 24 hours. Place food in a pre-cooled condition
into the appliance.
Determine the requirements for making ice and either set up the ice-tray holder or remove it before
plugging in the refrigeration unit. (Because of frost formation, this may be more difficult to accomplish
later.)
Frost forms on the evaporator panel when in operation. When opening the cover or putting in food, some
of this frost melts and collects in the form of water on the bottom of the appliance. Wipe the water off
occasionally using a sponge.
Avoid putting foods with fragile packaging (such as glass) into the refrigeration unit, if you wish to pull it
on its wheels. Movements and shaking of the unit may cause these items to break.
On descent, make sure the refrigeration unit does not roll onto your legs. On steep descents, proceed
behind the unit with the wheels in front.
Once the refrigeration unit is in its permanent position, make sure foods do not come into contact with
the evaporator panel, as this can cause freezer-burn to the foods.
9. Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance
For defrosting, always unplug the appliance from an electrical power source to avoid the risk of shock. Make
sure no other power source is connected (gas or 12V / 24V). Remove food from the refrigeration unit and
leave the lid open. Depending on the temperature, frost melts in a short time from the evaporator panel, with
water collecting at the bottom of the appliance. Wipe it off using a towel. Afterwards, clean the appliance by
following the instructions in section 3. Leave the lid ajar to prevent any odours from forming. The appliance
does not require any further maintenance.
