Operation of appliances

REFRIGERATOR

Q
Our products are fitted with several different refrigerator
models.
The following is an overview of their operation. If you would
like further information, please refer to the instructions
written by the manufacturer of the refrigerator located
inside your vehicle.
Common rules and instructions
Q
Refrigerator start-up
- Before using the fridge, we recommend that you clean
the inside.
- When you use the appliance for the first time, allow it to
cool for at least eight hours before putting food inside.
- The low-temperature compartment should be cold one
hour after the fridge has been turned on.
Usage
Q
The refrigerator may operate (230 V), power supply, 12 V
power or ow liquiefied gas. Use the controls A shown in
figure 1 to change from one operating mode to another.
- Never cover the ventilation grills on the motor
home walls. The absorption systems must be well
ventilated to operate correctly.
- Any water ingress through the ventilation grills
may damage your refrigerator permanently. We
recommend great care when washing your motor
home.
Winter operation
Q
1. Check that the ventilation grills and the extractor have
not been blocked by snow, leaves or similar.
2. When the outside temperature drops below 8°C, the
optional winter protective device must be used. This is
available from your sales outlet.
3. Affix the cover and fasten it.
It is advisable to use the winter protection when you do
not intend to use your vehicle for an extended period
(optional).
Defrosting
Q
As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins.
When the layer of frost is about 3mm thick, the refrigerator
should be defrosted.
1. Switch off the refrigerator.
2. Remove the ice cube tray and food.
3. Leave the refrigerator door open.
4. After defrosting (freezer compartment and fins free of
frost), wipe the cabinet dry with a cloth.
5. Use a cloth to mop up the water from the freezer
compartment.
6. Switch the refrigerator back on again.
The layer of ice must never be removed forcibly, nor
may defrosting be accelerated using a heat source.
‘–‡
Water thawing in the main compartment of the refrigerator
runs into an appropriate container at the back of the
refrigerator. From there, the water evaporates.
