7.1 Energy saving tips
• Allow hot food to cool down first before you place it into the refrigerator.
• Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
• Arrange the food in the refrigerator so that air can circulate inside.
• Leave a distance of about 10 mm between the contents and secondary
evaporator.
NOTICE!
• Make sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may be
kept at the selected temperature.
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
NOTE
• Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should
clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
• The cooling performance can be affected by:
– The ambient temperature
– The amount of food to be conserved
– How often you open the door
• When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild
odour which will disappear after a few hours. Air 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 refrigerator unit operates silently.
• Approximately one hour after switching on, the freezer compart-
ment of the refrigerator should be cold. The refrigerator reaches its
operating temperature after a few hours.
•RML9331/9335 only: Battery management systems switch off
the power supply to the refrigerator as soon as the vehicle engine is
switched off for longer than 30 minutes. The refrigerator requires a
constant DCpower supply to operate. If your vehicle has a battery
management system, deactivate it.
