To ensure good refrigeration and economical operation, the refrigerator must be installed and used as described in these instructions. The refrigerator is designed for installation in caravans or motorhomes.

[. . . ] We suggest that you fit the winter covers also in the case that the vehicle is laid up during the winter months. TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time: 1. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and frozen food compartment ajar. When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time (e. g. during the winter months), we suggest fitting the winter covers WA130, onto the vent grills. 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. The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now and then, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent. But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly dried. The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that the refrigerator is switched off when doing this. IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK Check the following points before calling a service technician: 1. That the "STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR" instructions have been followed. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the connected sources of energy. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check: That all LP-gas valves are open. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check: · · · · · · · That the gas bottle is not empty. 5. That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigerator. 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. 13 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. Gas pressure is incorrect - please check the pressure regulator on the gas container. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing strip is defective. [. . . ] 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. The socket outlet should be fitted in the caravan in a position readily accessible to the user, within reach of the mains lead. In the United Kingdom, the plug and socket outlet should be of the non-reversible type. [. . . ]
