1. Set energy selector switch (A) to position ‘0’

(OFF). The appliance is now fully switched
off.

2. Secure the door open by means of the

inside the appliance.

Switching off gas operation

If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service
for an extended period of time, the on-board
shut-off valve and the cylinder valve must be
closed.

Winter operation

1. Check that the ventilation grills and the

extractor have not been blocked by snow,
leaves or similar.

2. When the ambient temperature falls below

+8°C, the optional winter covers should
be fitted. This protects the unit from
excessively cold air.

Lower ventilation grille (L200)

Upper ventilation grille with flue
vent ( L100)

3. Affix the cover and fasten it.

Tip: It is also recommended that the winter
covers should be used when the vehicle is taken
