To ensure good refrigeration and economical operation, the refrigerator must be installed and used as described in these instructions. This refrigerator comes with an Automatic Energy Selector (AES) which controls operation and energy supply. [. . . ] 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. 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). 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. 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?. 4 mm Before starting the mounting work, check that the panel dimensions are in compliance with those given in the table and the instructions are read thoroughly.

INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN The refrigerator is intended for installation in a motorhome, and the description relates to this application. The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat from hot objects. 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. [. . . ] should be of a type specifically designed for the type and diameter of the connection pipe used, and screwed joints should be sealed with a joining compound approved for use with bottled gas. The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet pipe (outside diameter 8 mm. ) by means of a suitable gas-tight compression fitting, e. g. In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock of an approved type bottled gas must be incorporated in the supply line in a position that is readily accessible to the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily withdrawn. [. . . ]
