WINTER OPERATION
lf
the refrigerator has
been left
switched off in
an
unheated caravan
when the outside
temperature is
below -12
oC
the cooling unit
will become so cold
that
it
cannot be started in
the 240 Y
or
12
V modes
of
ope-
ration.
ln such event
the refrigerator must
be started on
LP gas.
Some caravans
with outside ventilation
may have so
called winter covers
to
protect the refrigerating
unit from
too cold
air
(ask
your
dealer). They
should only
be
mounted at the ventilation
grilles
when
the outdoor tem-
perature is
less
than
0
oC.
The
refrigerator
can subse-
quently
be switched over
to electric operation after five
hours
if
the ventilation
grilles are
fitted with
winter cov-
ers. DO NOT
COVER
THE FLUE OUTLET!
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The
position numbers refer to fig.
3.
Once
the refrigerator has been stafted it
will take a few
hours
to become cold.
On
240 V operation
the refrigerator is controlled by
a
thermostat and the
thermostat knob
(3)
should be
set
at
3-5. lf
a lower
(colder) temperature
is desired, set the
thermostat
to
a
higher figure.
On 12 V operation
the refrigerator
works
continuously.
On
LP
gas
operation
the
refrigerator
temperature is
regulated by means of
the gas control (4),
Fig.
3, which
should be
set
at
,,max".
This setting
provides a
suitable
refrigerator
temperature
in warm weather.
Should the
storage compartment
for fresh
items grow
too cold, par-
ticularly in cold
weather, set the valve
to
,,min".
Do
not
forget
to restore it
if
the weather
turns warmer'
TRAVEL CATCH
Make sure
that the travel
catch is
engaged when the
caravan is
on
the
move, (fig.
1).
The
travel catch at the
top of
the door can be
set in two
different
positions. ln one
position
the door is held tightly
shut. ln
the other
position
the
door is
secured ajar so
that
the refrigerator can be
aired when not in
use.

keep
food in closed
containers. Never
put
hot
food in
the refrigerator,
allow it
to cool
first.
