9.6 Refrigerator
If there is no MonoControl or DuoControl regulating system with crash sen-
sor present, only operate the refrigerator via the 12 V power supply during
the journey. At high ambient temperatures the refrigerator is unable to reach
its full cooling power.
When leaving the vehicle, always mount the refrigerator ventilation grill.
Otherwise water can enter during rain.
The cooling power of the refrigerator depends on the vehicle setup. The
cooling power can decrease if the vehicle is inclined by 5° or more.
Therefore, always park the vehicle on level ground.
Absorption refrigerators operate at normal room temperature (approx.
21 °C) within the specified temperature range. At significantly higher am-
bient temperatures (> 30 °C), the cooling power is reduced.
9.6.1 Refrigerator ventilation grill
At high external temperatures, the full cooling power of the cooling unit is
only guaranteed if the refrigerator is ventilated sufficiently.
Fig. 183 Refrigerator ventilation grill
Fig. 184 Winter cover (refrigerator
ventilation grill)
Push sliding trap (Fig. 183,1) upward.
Remove refrigerator ventilation grill.
The winter covers (Fig. 184) protect the cooling unit against cold air. Place
winter covers in front of both refrigerator ventilation grills when the external
temperature falls below +10 °C (both for gas and electrical operation).
In the case of smaller appliances (capacity of less than 130 l) in gas opera-
tion, only use the
lower
winter cover.
In the case of very low temperatures (-5 °C to -30 °C), use the
insulated
winter cover. Use the insulated winter cover only instead of the
lower
refrig-
erator ventilation grill.
If the temperature raises again, remove winter covers.
Open both locks (Fig. 184) (groove in horizontal position).
Put winter cover in front of the ventilation grill.
Lock the locks with a small coin (groove in vertical position).
