Maintenance and storage.
The fridge must be defrosted regularly in order to ensure a correct operation. To defrost the appliance,
disconnect it, empty it and if necessary use a cloth with warm water. Dry and clean the inside with a
non-abrasive cloth. Never use a knife or other sharp tool to remove ice.
If the appliance is to remain unused for a longer period, disconnect it, clean it and leave the door slightly open
during storage to prevent unpleasant odours. Put some talcum powder in the gasket of the lid.
Do not store in dusty areas. Cover over unit while stored to protect against build up of dust or insects nesting
inside the burner.
It is recommended that adequately cover the burner outlets to protect against insects nesting inside the burner.

long period of time.
All repairs and maintenance must only be undertaken by a suitably qualified technician.

Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs, first carry out the following checks:
Is the appliance installed in a horizontal position?
Is there sufficient ventilation?
For 230v AC mains operation; check the mains supply is correct and if the thermostat knob is set correctly.
For 12v DC battery operation; check the battery is sufficiently charged and if the thermostat knob is set
correctly.
For Gas operation; check the burner is ignited.
Is there still a sufficient quantity of gas in the gas cylinder?
Is the gas valve open?
Has the gas valve knob been pressed long enough before ignition? Good priming is key to a successful
ignition
.
Has the thermostat knob been set to MAX position?
Have two modes of energy operation been selected at the same time?
Has too much food been placed inside the refrigerator all at once? Air needs to freely circulate inside the
refrigerator.
If after a period of time the refrigerator does not cool down, switch it off and leave it turned upside down for 1
hour then put it the right way up and connect again.
