Fridge - Westfalia Joker Maintenance And Operation

1.5 Fridge

Before using the fridge for the first time, the inside of the fridge
should be cleaned with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning fluid.
Explanation of the controls
A – button to operate the ignition control
B – dial for the combined electric / gas thermostat.
The combined electric / gas thermostat can be used with the LPG
or the mains electricity. The thermostat is not set up for use with
12v battery power. If the dial for the thermostat is turned fully to
the left – past the point where you can feel some resistance – the
mains use is switched off. This same dial position needs to be in
the minimum setting for use with LPG (LPG use will only be
switched off by switching the LPG connection to the fridge)
C to E – Buttons to switch the voltage on / off
C – Button for mains use
D – Button for 12V use
E – Button for LPG use
F – red signal light

Bringing into operation (220v)
Check if the voltage of the house or campsite mains connection is
within the required voltage. This can be found inside the fridge at
the top left. (The safety circuit breaker must be switched on)
1. Press in Button (C)
2. Turn the combined electric / gas thermostat dial (B) clockwise
to the max setting.
3. When not in use, switch off button (C) by using button (D) or
(E).
Bringing into operation (12V)
When using 12V, your fridge is protected by the general electrical
circuitry of your vehicle. To prevent your vehicle's battery from
draining, a measure has been built into the 12V circuitry to ensure
that the fridge can only be used when the vehicle's engine is
running.
When the fridge is running on 12V it cannot be controlled by the
thermostat.
1) Press in button (D) before driving off.
2) When not in use, switch off button (D) by using buttons (C) or
(E).
