TIPS, MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
• Fresh and frozen foods should not be
stored right beside each other in the
cabinet. Doing so may cause a fresh food
to freeze and/or spoil.
• When the appliance is being set at 0° or
lower temperatures, do not store glass
bottles or liquids such as beer, milk, juices
or soft drinks in the unit as these may
freeze and shatter, leak or burst.
• Items such as fruit and vegetables should
be stored closer to the top of the cabinet
as this area is normally slightly warmer. This
will reduce the risk of spoiling and ensures
that damage is not caused by being
crushed by heavier items.
• To improve the efficiency of your Fridge/
Freezer it is better to have the cabinet as
full as possible at all times. A full cabinet
will provide lower power consumption
over 24 hours than a half empty one.
When the cabinet is full there is little air
space between the goods so the cold air
is trapped, but when there is lots of air the
coldness cannot be captured and held. On
a trip it is a good idea to replace finished
products with bottles of water or similar.
This will fill the empty spaces and allow the
coldness to remain within the cabinet.
• Frequent door opening will allow warm
air to enter the cabinet. Keep the number
of times you open the door to a minimum
where possible.
• When located in the rear of a car or trailer,
it is recommended that the appliance be
kept away from direct sunlight to reduce
the risk of increased heat. It should also
be provided with suitable ventilation to
guarantee efficient power consumption
and performance. You must remember that
when a vehicle is parked in the sun that on
a day where the ambient temperature is
+30°C, the interior of the vehicle can reach
+55°C.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Your Fridge/Freezer will be delivered cleaned
from the factory – you nevertheless should
clean prior to initial use. Take a cloth which
has been slightly moistened with lukewarm
water. Pay attention that no water drops
into the seals and possibly damages the
electronics. Dry off the Fridge/Freezer with a
cloth after cleaning. Clean your Fridge/Freezer
periodically and as soon as it is dirty.

tools to clean your Fridge/Freezer.
• Before cleaning, the power cable should
be disconnected and the Fridge/Freezer

• Clean the Fridge/Freezer inside and out
with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use
some sodium bicarbonate dissolved in
lukewarm water.

dry carefully.
• When storing your Fridge/Freezer for a long
period of time,
