6.1 Description
The refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator. The refrigerator is designed to
operate with different types of power and can be run on an AC power supply,
a DC power supply or with butane/propane gas. For DC operation, the
vehicle battery or a solar system built on the vehicle can be used. For AC
and gas operation, the thermostatic control ensures that the refrigerator
temperature is kept constant and as little power as possible is consumed.
The refrigerator has a locking mechanism to protect it during transport.
The refrigerator has a defrost water drain. The drain opening is located on
the rear panel of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic pilot light which automatically
interrupts the gas supply after approx. 30 seconds if the flame goes out.

7.1 Energy saving tips
zAllow warm food to cool down first before storing it.
zDo not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.

zArrange the food so that air can circulate in the refrigerator.
NOTICE!
zMake sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may
be kept at the selected temperature.
zFood may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
NOTE
zBefore using your new device for the first time, you should
clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic
reasons.
zThe cooling performance can be affected by:
– The ambient temperature
– The amount of food to be conserved
– The frequency with which the door is opened
– The outside temperature
– The ventilation
zWhen the device is first used, an odour may develop that will
dissipate after a few hours. Air the living area thoroughly.
zPark the vehicle in a horizontal position, particularly when
starting up and filling the refrigerator before beginning a trip.
zThe refrigerator cooling unit is noiseless.
zAround one hour after being switched on, the deep freeze
compartment of the refrigerators should get cold. The refriger-
ator will reach its operating temperature after a few hours.
