Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen

food compartment for about a month. This period of time

may vary, however, and it is important to follow the in-

structions on the individual packages.

ICE MAKING

It is practical to make ice during the night - then the re-

frigerator is less demanded and the cooling unit has more

reserves. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim with drink-

ing water and place it on the freezer shelf.

It is possible to make ice faster by turning the thermo-

stat knob temporarily to its highest value but do not for-

get to turn it back to its regular setting afterwards as the

refrigerator might otherwise become too cold.

DEFROSTING

Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating sur-

faces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts

as an insulator and adversely affects refrigerator per-

formance. 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 sur-

faces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp ob-

jects be used to scrape off the ice.

Defrost water runs from a drip tray to a receptacle at the

rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates.

Heavy frosts build up on the freezer plate and the cool-

ing 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 vehicle). As the frost melts, the water

will flow into the container. Replace the drain tube to its

original position after defrosting.

Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be

mopped up with a cloth.

When the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and

restart it. Place the food items back inside but wait until

the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.

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 refrig-

erator and its fittings.

Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented

products or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrig-

erator 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.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:

1. Set the switch (A), fig. 1, to “OFF”.

2. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the

refrigerator.

3. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as

described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator

and frozen food compartment ajar.

IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK

Check the following points before calling a service tech-

nician:

1. That the “STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR”

instructions have been followed.

2. The refrigerator is level.

3. If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the

connected sources of energy.

4. If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:

• That the gas bottle is not empty.

• That all LP-gas valves are open.

5. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check:

• That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigera-

tor.

• That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact.

• That the battery is not run down.

6. 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.

If the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently, the rea-

son may be:

1. Inadequate ventilation of the cooling unit due to the

intake and/or exhaust air vents being partly or

completely blocked.

2. The evaporator is frosted up.

3. The thermostat setting is incorrect.

4. Gas pressure is incorrect - please check the pres-

sure regulator on the gas container.

5. The refrigerator is not level.

6. Too much food is loaded at one time.

7. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic

sealing strip is defective.

If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a serv-

ice technician.

WARNING! The sealed cooling system must not

be opened, since it contains corroding chemicals

under high pressure.
