Tips And Suggestions; Maintenance & Service - Primus Single Zone Owner's Manual

Tips and Suggestions

• Fresh and frozen foods should not be stored
right beside each other in the cabinet. Doing so
may cause a fresh food to freeze and/or spoil.
• When the appliance is being set at 0° or lower
temperatures, do not store glass bottles or
liquids such as beer, milk, juices or soft drinks
in the unit as these may freeze and shatter.
• Items such as fruit and vegetables should be
stored closer to the top of the cabinet as this
area is normally slightly warmer. This will reduce
the risk of spoiling and ensures that damage is
not caused by being crushed by heavier items.
• To improve the efficiency of your Fridge/Freezer
it is better to have the cabinet as full as possible
at all times. A full cabinet will provide lower
power consumption over 24 hours than a half
empty one. When the cabinet is full there is
little air space between the goods so the cold
air is trapped, but when there is lots of air the
coldness cannot be captured and held. On a trip
it is a good idea to replace finished products
with bottles of water or similar. This will fill the
empty spaces and allow the coldness to remain
within the cabinet.
• Frequent door opening will allow warm air to
enter the cabinet. Keep the number of times you
open the door to a minimum where possible.
• When located in the rear of a car or trailer,
it is recommended that the appliance be kept
away from direct sunlight to reduce the risk
of increased heat. It should also be provided
with suitable ventilation to guarantee efficient
power consumption and performance. You
must remember that when a vehicle is parked
in the sun that on a day where the ambient
temperature is +30°C, the interior of the vehicle
can reach +55°C.
