WARNING!
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the energy supply before you
clean and service it.
A
NOTICE!
For cleaning, never use sharp cleaning agents or hard or pointed tools
to remove ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place.
➤ Clean the refrigerator regularly and when it gets dirty using a damp cloth.
➤ Make sure that no water drips into the seals. This can damage the electronics.
➤ Wipe the refrigerator dry with a cloth after cleaning.
➤ Check the condensate drain regularly.
Clean the condensate drain when necessary. If it is blocked, the condensate
collects on the bottom of the refrigerator.
➤ Make sure that the ventilation grills in the outer wall of the motorhome or caravan
and the refrigerator roof ventilator are free from dust and pollutants. This ensures
that the heat generated during operation can be dispersed, the refrigerator is not
damaged and the cooling capacity is not reduced.

ing on the degree of pollution, is reduced to half yearly or quarterly.
