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 motorhomes. [. . . ] Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at its highest position, but be sure to move the thermostat back to normal setting when the ice is formed, the refrigerator might otherwise become too cold. DEFROSTING Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects refrigerator performance. Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator. To defrost the refrigerator, turn it off and remove the ice trays and the food item, leave the cabinet and freezer doors open. Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice. Defrost water runs from a collector channel to a receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates. Heavy frosts build up on the freezer plate and the cooling fins, and a lot of defrost water, move the plastic drain tube in to a watertight bucket or container. (Access through the lower ventilation grill on the outside of the motorhome). As the frost melts, the water will flow into the container. Replace the drain tube to its original position after defrosting. WINTER OPERATION Please check that the ventilation grilles are not blocked by snow, leaves etc. ELECTROLUX ventilation grilles model L500, can be fitted with winter covers, model WA130, to protect the cooling unit against cold air. The covers may be fitted when the outside temperature is below approx. 10°C and should be fitted when the temperature is below the freezing point. 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 motorhome 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. 14 IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK Check the following points before calling a service technician: 1. that the green AES LED goes on, when the switch (A) is set to "ON" (12 V must be available). when mains are connected but the refrigerator stays in gas operation: Is the refrigerator correctly connected and is the fuse (230-240 V) intact?. [. . . ] The connection D+ (alternator) has to be connected to the corresponding outlet of the vehicles electrical system. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and durable manner; taking into accounts all relevant regulations and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation, it is important that the circuit to and in the motorhome 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 motorhome in a position readily accessible to the user, within reach of the mains lead. [. . . ]
