7. Useful suggestions
When setting out on a trip, run the appliance on
120 V for 24 hours. Place food in a pre-cooled
condition into the appliance.
Determine the requirements for making ice and
either set up the ice-tray holder or remove it
before
plugging in the refrigeration unit. (Because of frost
formation, this may be more difficult to accomplish
later.)
Frost forms on the evaporator panel when in
operation. When opening the cover or putting in
food, some of this frost melts and collects in the
form of water on the bottom of the appliance. Wipe
the water off occasionally using a sponge.
Avoid putting foods with fragile packaging (such as
glass) into the refrigeration unit, if you wish to pull it
on its wheels. Movements and shaking of the unit
may cause these items to break.
On descent, make sure the refrigeration unit does
not roll onto your legs. On steep descents,
proceed behind the unit with the wheels in front.
Once the refrigeration unit is in its permanent
position, make sure foods do not come into contact
with the evaporator panel, as this can cause
freezer-burn to the foods.
8. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
For defrosting, always unplug the appliance from an
electrical power source to avoid the risk of shock.
Make sure no other power source is connected (gas
or 12V). Remove food from the refrigeration unit and
leave the lid open. Depending on the temperature,
frost melts in a short time from the evaporator panel,
with water collecting at the bottom of the appliance.
Wipe it off using a towel. Afterwards, clean the
appliance by following the instructions in section 3.
Leave the lid ajar to prevent any odours from forming.
The appliance does not require any further
maintenance.
