4.0 Refrigerator operation

The refrigerator is equipped to operate on
three power modes:
Mains voltage (230V AC)
Direct-current voltage (12V DC)
Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)
Select the desired power mode by the energy
selector switch (battery igniter type models)
or the MODE button (MES, AES). Appliances
with automatic energy selection (AES) are
additionally provided with "automatic mode"
function. The AES system automatically
selects the best energy source for each parti-
cular situation.

Cleaning

Before starting up the refrigerator, it is recom-
mended that you clean it inside and repeat this
at regular intervals.
Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild
detergent. Then wipe out the appliance with
clean water and dry thoroughly.

Maintenance

In compliance with the applicable regulati-
ons, please note that the gas unit and the
connected ventilation ducts must be chec-
ked by authorised technical personnel after
first use and after every other year for com-
pliance with the European Standard EN
1949. A test certificate has to be issued. It is
the user's responsibility to arrange this
test.
The gas burner must be inspected and
cleaned as necessary at least once a year.
When using liquefied petroleum gas (tank
or refill cylinders) the maintenance interval
is reduced to half-yearly or quarterly.
Keep the evidence of maintenance work car-
ried out on your refrigerator.
Work on gas and electrical equipment
shall be carried out by qualified personnel
only.
It is recommended that this is carried out by
an authorised customer services department.
We recommend maintenance following an exten-
ded shutdown of the vehicle. Please contact our
customer services.
