That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact. 6. That the battery is not run down. If the refrigerator fails to work on 230-240 V, check: That the 230-240 V supply is connected to the refrigerator. That the fuse is intact. 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 refrigerator and its fittings. Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented products or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces and leave a strong odour. If the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently, the reason may be: 1. Inadequate ventilation of the cooling unit due to the intake and/or exhaust air vents being partly or completely blocked. Incorrect gas pressure - please check the pressure regulator on the gas container. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing strip is defective. If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service technician. 14 The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since it contains corroding chemicals under high pressure. When mounting the panel, proceed as follows. See figure 8. · · · · open the door 90 degrees remove the door decoration strip from the door by taking out the 3 screws and remove the old panel insert the new panel and push the panel downwards replace the decoration strip and screws MAINTENANCE Always turn to a qualified service technician who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerator. We recommend that a service technician check the refrigerator once a year. INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN The refrigerator is intended for installation in a caravan or camper van, and the description relates to this application. The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat from hot objects (e. g. below a cooker without proper heat shielding). Excessive heat irradiation impairs performance and leads to increased energy consumption. For this reason the refrigerator should be installed if possible not at the entrance side of the vehicle - normally orientated south and often with an awning - which would impair the dispersion of heat and combustion gases from the ventilation openings. [. . . ] To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at max. To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when the vehicle engine is not running, for example by fitting an ignition control relay. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regulations and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation, it is important that the circuit to and in the caravan is effectively earthed. For connection to a 230-240 V electricity supply, the refrigerator has a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connection to a properly earthed plug and socket outlet. [. . . ]
