Using the refrigerator

I
NOTE
• Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, clean it inside
and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
• When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild
odor which will disappear after a few hours. Air out the living space
well.
• Park the vehicle so that it is level, especially when starting up and fill-
ing the refrigerator before setting off on a journey.
• The cooling capacity can be affected by:
– the ambient temperature (e.g. when the vehicle is exposed to
direct sunlight)
– the amount of food to be refrigerated
– how often you open the door

Tips for optimal refrigerator operation

• Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours after start-up.
• Protect the interior of the vehicle from warming up excessively (e.g. sunshades in
the windows, air conditioner).
• Protect the refrigerator from direct sunlight (e.g. sunshades in the windows).

Operation at low outdoor temperatures

A
NOTICE!
In AC power mode and DC power mode, install both winter covers. In
gas mode or automatic mode, install the lower winter cover only. This
prevents heat from building up and ensures the fumes from the refriger-
ator can dissipate properly.
I
NOTE
Cold air can impact the performance of the cooling unit. Install the win-
ter covers if you determine a loss of cooling capacity at low ambient tem-
peratures.
➤ Install the winter covers (accessory) as shown in fig. 3, page 5.
