TRAVEL CATCH
Make sure that the
travel catch is enga-
ged when the cara-
van is on the move.
The travel catch at
the top of the door
can be set in two different positions. In one position
the door is held tightly shut. In the other position the
door is secured ajar so that the refrigerator can be
aired when not in use.
FOOD STORAGE
Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot
food in the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
Never keep items in the refrigerator which might
give off flammable gases.
The 2-star (**) frozen food compartment is intended
for the storage of frozen food and for making ice. It is
not suitable for freezing items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen
food storage compartment as they may burst when
freezing. Also don't give children ice lollies straight
from the frozen food as they could cause frost
burns.
Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen
food compartment for about a month. This period of
time may vary, however, and it is important to follow
the instructions on the individual packets.
ICE MAKING
It is practical to make ice during the night - then the
refrigerator is less demanded and the cooling unit has
more reserves. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim
with drinking water and place it on the freezer shelf.
To speed up the ice making, one can spill one or two
spoonfuls of water on the freezer shelf to improve the
contact to the ice tray. If you have more than one ice
tray it is a good idea to make ice in advance and
save the frozen trays in the frozen food
compartment.
DEFROSTING
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating
surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as
it acts as an insulator and adversely affects refrigera-
tor performance.
Check the formation of frost regularly every week and
when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigera-
tor.
To defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice
tray and all food items. Warning: normally the tempe-
rature of items of fozen foods would rise unduly
during defrosting and so they should be consumed
within 24 h or discarded.
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind
of heating appliance, as this might damage the
plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. Neither should any
sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice.
The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a
receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it eva-
porates. Defrost water in the freezer compartment
should be mopped up with a cloth.
When the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and
restart it. Place the food items back inside but wait
until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it
fresh and hygienic.
Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring
out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the refri-
gerator and its fittings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scen-
ted products or wax polish to clean the interior of the
refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces and
leave a strong odour.
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean
now and again, using a damp cloth and a small quanti-
ty of detergent. But not the door gasket, which should
only be cleaned with soap and water and
then thoroughly dried.
TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1. Set any switches to 0.
2. Set the gas valve (D) to
l
.
3. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the
refrigerator.
4. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as
described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator
and the froozen food compartment ajar. Use the
travel catch to hold in this position.
5. When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time
(e.g. during the winter months), we suggest fitting
the winter covers onto the vent grills.
IF THE `FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
Check the following points before calling a service
technician:
1. That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instruc
tions have been followed.
2. The refrigerator is level.
3. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the
connected sources of energy.
4. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:
That the gas bottle is not empty.
That all LP-gas valves are open.
5. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check:
That the 12 V supply is connected to the
refrigerator.
That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact.
That the 12 V switch is on.
