Operating your Fridge
Page 7
Operation with 12V plug
•
IMPORTANT: Never use more than one energy source at a time
•
A safety fuse must be installed in the power supply line between the battery and the
mobile fridge.
•
It is not necessary to check the polarity when starting up the appliance.
•
Verify the voltage of the battery with the voltage indicated on the technical data label
at the back of the appliance.
•
When the appliance is powered by a car battery, only switch the mobile fridge on
while the car is travelling. If the appliance remains switched on when the car is
stopped, the battery charge will be drained very quickly.
•
When using a battery as a power source, there is no thermostatically controlled
temperature regulation.
•
Pre-cool the mobile fridge on the mains before starting a journey and try to put only
pre-cooled products in the mobile fridge.
•
To start up the unit, connect the supplied cable at the back in the 12V socket and put
the corresponding side into the cigar lighter socket of the vehicle. To disconnect,
remove the connector from the cigar lighter socket.
Operation with LPG gas bottle
•
IMPORTANT: Never use more than one energy source at a time
•
Operation on gas is prohibited in closed areas, in vehicles and on boats. The
appliance must be used in a well ventilated area when operating on gas. This means
that it can also be used under the canopy of a tent if sufficiently ventilated. In all
cases the location should be protected from rain and/or splashing.
•
The gas cylinder must be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area and never in a
basement or a cellar. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to high temperatures.
•
The appliance cannot operate at a pressure other than the one specified on the
identification label at the back. You must therefore use the appropriate pressure
regulator.
•
During connection of the chest fridge to the gas cylinder, always stay clear of any sort
of ignition and do not smoke. Connect in the order gas cylinder
– pressure regulator
– appliance. Excessive twisting and bending of the flexible hose must be avoided.
Check for leaks only by means of soapy water. Never check for leaks using a flame.
•
When changing the gas cylinder or disconnecting the hose, it is necessary to close
the valve of the gas cylinder. Always replace a damaged or porous hose.
