5.1 Tips for using the refrigerator optimally
• Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours of operation.
• 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).
5.2 Operating in low outdoor temperatures
A
I
➤Install the LS300 winter covers (accessory) as shown in fig. 3, page 5.
5.3 Operation at high ambient temperatures
At high ambient temperatures in combination with high levels of humidity, conden-
sation may form on the ice compartment frame. The ice compartment is equipped
with a frame heater to reduce condensation on the frame of the ice compartment.
The frame heater is switched on continuously in the following operating modes:
•ACoperation
• DC operation (when the engine of the vehicle is running)
Only RMD10.5T, RMD10.5XT
In gas operation, the frame heater can be switched on manually.
NOTICE!
In AC operation and DC operation, install both winter covers. In gas
mode or automatic mode, install only the lower winter cover. This pre-
vents heat from building up and the fumes from the refrigerator can be
extracted properly.
NOTE
Cold air can restrict the performance of the cooling unit. Attach the
winter covers if you experience a reduced cooling capacity at low
ambient temperatures.
