HOW TO USE YOUR CAMPERVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Note: Food which can easily absorb tastes
and odours as well as liquids and products
with a high alcohol content should be
conserved in air-tight containers.
The cooling device compartment is divided in
different zones with different temperatures:
• The colder zones are immediately over
the base, near the back wall.
• Observe the temperature information and
best before date on the food packaging.
Observe the following when using the device:
• Do not re-freeze products which are
defrosting or have been defrosted,
consume them as soon as possible.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film
and shut it in a suitable box with a lid.
This ensures that aromas, the shape and
the freshness are better conserved.
Positioning the wire shelves
WARNING: Children beware! The shelves
are fixed to prevent children from getting
into the refrigerator.
• Only remove the shelves for cleaning
purposes.
• Afterwards, refit the shelves in the same
position and lock them in place.
Defrosting the cooling device
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the
cooling device or on the vaporiser. This
reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the
device in good time to avoid this.
Note: Never use hard or pointed tools to
remove the ice or to loosen objects which
have frozen in place.
To defrost the cooling device, proceed as
follows:
• Take out the contents of the cooling
device.
• Place them in another cooling device to
keep them cool if necessary.
• Switch the cooling device off by pushing
the button for five seconds.
• Leave the door open.
• Wipe off the water resulting from
defrosting or, if present, empty the
collecting tray. If your device has a water
drain, drain the thawed water off.
Switching off and storing the cooling
device
If you do not intend to use the cooling device
for a long time, proceed as follows:
• Switch the cooling device off by pushing
the button for five seconds.
• Clean the cooling device.
• Leave the lid or door open to avoid
unpleasant odours building up.
• Put the door lock to VENT position. This
prevents odours from building up.
Note: The VENT position can only be used if
the vehicle is not moving. When moving the
door can unlock and damage the refrigerator
or the interior.
Cleaning and maintenance
Note:
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or
hard objects during cleaning as these
can damage the cooling device.
• Never use brushes, scouring pads or
hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to
loosen objects which have frozen in
place.
• Clean the cooling device regularly as
soon as it becomes dirty with a damp
cloth.
• Make sure that no water drips into the
sealings as this water can damage the
electronics.
• Wipe the cooling device dry with a cloth
after cleaning.
