HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Refrigerator (RM8551)
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 energy selector button
(MES, AES). Appliances with automatic
energy selection (AES) are additionally
provided with “automatic mode” function.
Then the AES system automatically selects
the best energy source for each particular
situation.
The cooling unit is silent in operation.
When the appliance is first put into operation,
there may be a mild odour which will
disappear after a few hours.
The refrigerator will take several hours to
reach its operating temperature in the cooling
compartment. The freezer compartment
should be cold about one hour after switching
on the refrigerator.
Cleaning
Before starting up the refrigerator, it is
recommended 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.
To avoid material alterations, do not use soap
or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning
agents. Do not allow the door seal to come
into contact with oil or grease.
Maintenance
• In compliance with the applicable
regulations, please note that the gas unit
and the connected ventilation ducts must
be checked by authorised technical
personnel after first use and after every
other year for compliance 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
carried 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
care
department.
We recommend maintenance following an
extended shutdown of the vehicle. Please
contact our customer
care
.
Electrical operation
12V-voltage (on-board power supply)
CAUTION: The refrigerator should only be
used in 12V DC operation while the vehicle’s
engine is running, otherwise the on-board
battery would be discharged within a few
hours.
Mains power (230V)
CAUTION: This option should only be
selected where the supply voltage of the
connection for power supply corresponds to
the value specified on the data plate. Any
difference in values may result in damage to
the appliance.
