5.0 Refrigerator operation

The refrigerator is equipped to operate on
three power modes:
n
Mains voltage (230V AC)
n
Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)
Select the desired power mode by the energy
selector switch (Fig.7).
i
The cooling unit is silent in operation.
When the appliance is first put into operation,
there may be a mild odour which will disappe-
ar after a few hours.
The refrigerator will take several hours to reach
its operating temperature in the cooling com-
partment. The freezer compartment should be
cold about one hour after switching on the
refrigerator.
CAUTION!
The cooling unit becomes very hot during
operation. Protect yourself against con-
tact with these hot parts.
5.1

Cleaning

Before starting up the refrigerator, it is recom-
mended that you clean it inside and repeat this
at regular intervals.
Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a
mild detergent. Then wipe out the appliance
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
To avoid material alterations, do not use soap
or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning
agents. Do not allow the door seal to come
into contact with oil or grease.
5.2

Maintenance

n
The gas burner must be inspected and
cleaned as necessary at least once a year.
Keep the evidence of maintenance work
carried out on your refrigerator.
n
We recommend maintenance following an
extended shutdown of the vehicle. Please
contact our customer services.
5.3

Electrical operation

Check prior to initial operation that the vol-
tage noted on the model label corresponds to
the mains voltage. If this is not the case, do
not connect the device and contact your
dealer!
CAUTION!
Any difference in values may result in
damage the appliance.
5.4

Gas operation (liquid gas)

n
The refrigerator must be operated using
liquid gas (propane, butane) (no natural gas
or town gas).
n
For physical reasons, gas ignition faults
could occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (No
malfunction!)
n
On the initial refrigerator start-up or after a
cylinder change, air may be trapped in the
gas line. To purge the air from the lines,
switch on the refrigerator for a short time.
The gas ignites without delay.
n
Each refrigerator with manual ignition is
equipped with an automatic flame safety
valve which interrupts the gas supply auto-
matically after approx. 30 seconds when
the flame has extinguished.
