To ensure good refrigeration and economical operation, the refrigerator must be installed and used as described in these instructions. The refrigerator is designed for building-in to leisure vehicles such as caravans or motorhomes. [. . . ] If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check: q That the gas bottle is not empty. If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check: q That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigerator. If the refrigerator fails to work on 230 V, check: q That the 230 V supply is connected to the refrigerator. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from wire mesh etc). 9 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 `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items of fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so they should be consumed within 24 h or discarded. Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates. Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be mopped up with a cloth. Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes. 2. . 0, 27 kg Cooling medium Ammonia (R 717) SOME USEFUL HINTS Make sure that: q The refrigerator is not operating on 12 V when the vehicle is parked, otherwise you will drain the car battery in a short time. q The refrigerator is left with the door(s) ajar when it is not to be used for some time. q The door is secured by means of the travel catch when the caravan is on the move. q Only one mode of operation at a time is used to run the refrigerator.
