REPLACING THE BULB
To replace the bulb, follow these steps:
1. Remove the lamp cover. Push the lamp cover
backwards.
2. Replace the old bulb with an appliance bulb of
the same wattage (12V, max 10W).
3. Replace the cover.
HEATING CABLE
During the summer months of high temperatures and hu-
midity, the metal frame between the freezer and fresh food
compartments may have water droplets forming. This re-
frigerator comes standard with a 12V DC heating cable
that will evaporate the water droplets when they form.
To have the heating cable on,
you position the switch located
beneath the control panel to
I
,
see Fig. 2. The heating cable
can be left on continuously or
only used when temperatures
require it.
The heating cable will draw 12V DC power
continuously when in the ON (I) position. It
should be turned off when a charging source
is not available.
TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERA-
TOR
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1. Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF
button (
1
) to “OFF”.)
2. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the
refrigerator.
3. Pull out the plug from the wall socket.
4. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as
described earlier. Leave the doors of the re-
frigerator and frozen food compartment ajar.
PRODUCT CARE - SOME USEFUL
HINTS
Make sure that:
•
Defrosting is carried out periodically.
•
The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left open
when it is not to be used for some time.
•
Liquids or items with a strong odor are well packed.
•
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
•
The doors are secured by means of the travel catch
when the motor home / caravan is on the move.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK
Before calling an authorized service technician:
•
Ensure that the instructions in this manual have been
followed.
•
Check to make sure that the refrigerator is not tilted ex-
cessively.
•
Verify that the LEDs on the control panel are lit when
the ON/OFF button (
1
) is turned on. (12V must be avail-
able.)
•
Check the fuses on the circuit board which is located
under the cover on the back of the refrigerator.
•
If the mains voltage are connected but the refrigerator
stays in gas operation -> is the refrigerator correctly
connected and is the fuse (230-240V) intact?
•
If the refrigerator does not operate in DC mode when
the engine is running -> is the alternator (D+) connection
made correctly?
•
If the Warning indicator lamp (
F
) lights up -> see “
GAS
TROUBLESHOOTING
” for further information.
THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT COLD
ENOUGH
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:
•
The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of
the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from
wire mesh etc.).
•
The evaporator is frosted up.
•
The temperature control setting is incorrect.
•
The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure reg-
ulator at the gas container.
•
The ambient temperature is too high.
•
Too much food is loaded at one time.
•
The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing
strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call an
authorized service technician.

MAINTENANCE
•
This appliance must be serviced by an authorized per-
son. We recommend that an authorized service techni-
cian checks the refrigerator once a year.
•
The “Installation and operating instructions manual”
should always be available.
•
Ensure that the gas safety shut-off valve is working
properly.
•
Make sure that the ventilation openings are unobstruct-
ed.
•
See to it that the burner is clean and free from combus-
tible material.
The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since
it contains corroding chemicals under high pressure.
