3. Cleaning
Clean both the inside and outside of the
appliance before putting it into use.
To do so, use a soft towel, lukewarm water and a
non-abrasive detergent. Ensure water does not
enter the rear cover grill or the control panel.
Afterwards, wipe the appliance with a clean towel
and cleanwater, and then wipe it dry.
To avoid damage, do not use soap, soda or
abrasive cleaners.
4. Positioning the appliance
During the refrigeration process, the appliance
gives off heat from the condenser (under the
upper part of the rear cover) into the surrounding air.
The more ventilated the condenser is, the more
effective the refrigeration will be.
For maximum performance the appliance must
be level at all times when operating. If the
appliance is operating in a moving vehicle, the
amount of the refrigeration will be slightly less
than if the appliance is level in a stationary
position.This is caused by the movement of the
vehicle impairing the flow of the refrigerant within
the unit.
It is important that the appliance is not directly
exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near
an oven, etc.).
5. Using the appliance
The cable for 230 Volt mains connection, the 12V
connection and the gas inlet are located on the rear
cover of the RC1180 (Figure 2).
5.1. Operating from 230 Volt
electrical mains
Make sure the voltage shown on the data plate of the
appliance matches that of the mains voltage to which
you wish to connect the appliance. Pull out the mains
connecting cable and connect it to a receptacle
earthed socket for connection.
When connecting the appliance for the first time, set
the thermostat to maximum; then, after about five
hours, set it back towards minimum, according to your
cooling needs.
NB: Plug is provided according to specific
regulations in each country and may be different to
that shown.
