Refrigerator Operation

Adhere strictly to the indications given here
!
below.
For the best performance of the refrigerator,
ensure that it has been properly levelled.
During journeys, when the vehicle is moving, GAS power
supply to the refrigerator is prohibited since there is a risk
that the flame may be extinguished.
During storms or in the presence of strong winds, it is better
not to use the GAS power supply to the refrigerator, since
there is a risk that the flame may be extinguished.
The refrigerator is equipped with an electric thermostat and multiposition
gas-operated valve for temperature adjustment.
GAS OPERATION (Fig.3)
The temperature is set using the safety device (9). To obtain a cooler
temperature, the knob must be set to the large flame, while for a warmer
temperature, it must be set to the small flame.
MAINS POWER OPERATION
The temperature is set using the thermostat (8) in the right-hand section of
the control panel.
The thermostat can be set to any of 7 pre-set temperatures, which are
shown by 4 LEDs.
The first LED on the left represents the highest (warmest) temperature.
The button (7) is used to vary temperature settings; each time that it is
pressed, the lit LEDs will change and the temperature inside the refrigerator
will change as a result.
Once the lowest (coolest) temperature has been reached (last
LED on the right switched on), when the button (7) is pressed again, the
thermostat will return to the highest (warm) temperature (last LED on the
right lit).
BATTERY OPERATION
When using the refrigerator with battery power, it is not possible to set the
temperature. In this case the thermostat is set to the lowest (coolest)
temperature.

SWITCHING ON THE FAN

The fan is switched on by pressing button (1). When the fan is working, the
indicator light (2) is switched on.
The fan can be operated using any power source, although operation is only
possible if there is a direct power supply from the service battery (V DC).

FOOD CONSERVATION

Most foods carry storage instructions. Always respect these indications
It is good practice to store foods in closed containers. Do not place warm food
inside the refrigerator; wait until it has cooled. The low-temperature
compartment can be used to make ice or to store frozen foods, according to the
times and methods indicated on the product. The compartment is
not suitable for freezing foods. By placing drinks in the low-temperature
compartment, t he freezing rocess could cause the containers to break

ICE-MAKING

Ice should be made at night when the refrigerating unit is subjected to a
lower workload. Fill the container "A" (Fig. 6) to the brim with water (if
the ice is for human consumption, ONLY use drinking water) and place
in the freezer. If a little water is poured onto the shelf of the freezer, this
will create better contact with the ice tray and thus speed up ice
production.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
The refrigerator should be defrosted each time that there is more than 3
mm of ice. This operation is necessary to guarantee the correct
functioning of the refrigerator and to avoid higher levels of energy
consumption. For full defrosting, press the power switch(Fig.3), switch
off the refrigerator and shut off the gas cock "9" (Fig.3). Keep the
refrigerator door open to speed up the defrosting time. Do not use
sharp, pointed tools or knives to remove the ice, as these could damage
the appliance. When the refrigerator has been defrosted, switch it on
again.

WINTER OPERATION

During winter it is advisable to apply protective panels to the ventilation
grids in order to limit the flow of cold air to the refrigerator. It is possible
to order a special protective panel for the winter for ventilation grids
supplied by Vitrifrigo. When the outside temperature drops to below
0_C, winter protective panels should be used. When the vehicle is out
of use for any period of time, it is advisable to fit protective panels to the
ventilation grids.
Check regularly that the ventilation grids and the draft tube are not
blocked in any way.

USEFUL RECOMMENDATIONS

When the vehicle is parked and the engine is switched off, switch off the
battery power supply to the refrigerator since the charge will finish in a
very short period.
To improve the performance of the refrigerator, defrost it on a regular
basis and never obstruct the ventilation openings. All strong-smelling
products should be firmly closed before they are placed inside the
refrigerator.
Always use the stop to fix the door firmly into place before moving the
vehicle.
Prepare several containers of ice in advance and keep in the freezer
rather than making ice as required.
