+ 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.
+ To improve the efficiency of your fridge
it is better to have the drawer as full as possible
at all times. A full drawer will provide lower
power consumption over 24 hours than a half
empty one. When the drawer 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 drawer.
+ Frequent drawer opening will allow warm air to
enter the drawer. Keep the number of times you
open the drawer 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
on a day where the ambient temperature is
+30°C, the interior of the vehicle can reach
+55°C.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Your fridge will be delivered cleaned from the
factory – you nevertheless should clean prior to
initial use. Take a cloth which has been slightly
moistened with lukewarm water. Pay attention that
no water drops into the seals and possibly damages
the electronics. Dry off the fridge with a cloth after
cleaning. Clean your fridge periodically and as soon
as it is dirty.
ATTENTION:
+ DO NOT use solvents or agents with sand or acid
parts for cleaning your fridge.
+ DO NOT use brushes, graters or hard sharp tools
to clean your fridge.
+ Before cleaning, the power cord should be
disconnected and the fridge switched OFF.
+ Clean the fridge inside and out with a damp cloth.
For stubborn dirt, use some sodium bicarbonate
dissolved in lukewarm water.
+ After washing, rinse with clean water and dry
carefully.
+ When storing your fridge for a long period
of time, DO NOT fully close the drawer. This will
prevent mould and odours. For additional queries,

DISPOSAL
