The frozen food compartment is intended for the storage
of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable for
freezing items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen
food storage compartment as they may burst when
freezing.
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
instructions on the individual packages.
ICE MAKING
It is practical to make ice during the night - then the
refrigerator is less demanded and the cooling unit has
more reserves. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim with
drinking water and place it on the freezer shelf.
It is possible to make ice faster by turning the control
knob temporarily to its highest value but do not forget 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 perfor-
mance. 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 all food items, 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.
The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a
receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally
evaporates.
Heavy frost build up on the freezer plate and the cooling
fins, and a lot of defrost water:
Move the plastic drain tube in to a water tight 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
refrigerator 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 de-
scribed earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator
and frozen food compartment ajar.
4.
When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time
(e.g. during the winter months), we suggest fitting the
winter covers on to the grills.
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 refriger-
ator.
•
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
reason may be:
1.
Inadequate ventilation of the cooling unit due to the
intake and/or exhaust air vents being partly or comp-
letely blocked.
2.
The evaporator is frosted up.
3.
Incorrect thermostat settings.
4.
Incorrect gas pressure - please check the pressure
regulator on the gas container.
5.
The ambient temperature is too high.
6.
To 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 service technician.
