MAINTENANCE

Always turn to a qualified service technician who is fa-
miliar with LP gas systems and refrigerator.
We recommend that a service technician check the re-
frigerator 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 techni-
cian.
•
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
•
The Instruction Manual is available.
•
Check that the burner is clean and free from com-
bustible 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 door is secured by means of the travel catch
when the caravan is on the move.

INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN

The refrigerator is intended for installation in a caravan
or camper van, and the description relates to this appli-
cation.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat
from hot objects.
It is not a good practice to install the refrigerator so that
the vent openings are covered by the vehicle's entrance
door when this is set open. This would reduce the venti-
lation airflow to the cooling unit and reduce refrigeration
performance.
The enclosure
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclo-
sure and must be level, the dimensions are shown in
TECHNICAL DATA.
The bottom of the enclosure must be horizontal and even
so that the refrigerator can be easily pushed into place.
It must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the re-
frigerator.
Make sure that there is a complete seal between the
front frame of the refrigerator and top, sides and
bottom of the enclosure.
