CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh 

and hygienic.
Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicarbon-

ate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the cloth 

and use it to clean the interior of the refrigerator and its fi ttings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly 

scented products or wax polish to clean the interior 

of the refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces 

and leave a strong odour.
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now and 

then, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent. But 

not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned with soap 

and water and then thoroughly dried.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with 

a brush from time to time, but make sure that the refrigerator is 

switched off when doing this.

REPLACING THE BULB

To replace the bulb, follow these steps:

Remove the cover from the lamp body by 

pushing it backwards.
Remove the bulb.
Put in a new bulb (12V, max. 10 W). 
Push the lamp cover back in place. 

HEATING CABLE

During the summer months of high tempera-

tures and humidity, the metal frame between the 

freezer and fresh food compartments may have 

water droplets forming. This refrigerator comes 

standard with a 12V DC heating cable that will 

evaporate the water droplets when they form. 
To have the heating 

cable on, you position 

the switch located be-

neath the control panel 

to I, see Fig. 2. 
The heating cable can 

be left on continuously 

or only used when tem-

peratures require it.

NOTE! The heating cable will draw 12V DC 

power continuously when in the ON (I) posi-

tion. It should be turned off when a charging 

source is not available.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:

Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF button (

1

) 

to “OFF”.)
Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the

refrigerator.
Pull out the plug from the wall socket.
Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described 

earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and frozen food 

compartment ajar.

PRODUCT CARE - SOME USEFUL HINTS

Make sure that: 

Defrosting is carried out periodically.
The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left open 

when it is not to be used for some time.
Liquids or items with a strong odour are well packed.
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
The doors are secured by means of the travel catch when the 

motorhome is on the move.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK

Before calling an authorised service technician:  

Ensure that the instructions in this manual have been fol-

lowed.
Check to make sure that the refrigerator is not tilted exces-

siveley.
Verify that the LEDs on the control panel are lit when the 

ON/OFF button (

1

) is turned on. (12V must be available.)

Check that the 12V fuse is intact.

NOTE! Before servicing and when checking the fuses - 

disconnect the wall plug and the 12V wires. 

Check the fuses on the circuit board which is located under 

the cover on the back of the refrigerator. 
If the mains voltage are connected but the refrigerator stays 

in gas operation -> is the refrigerator correctly connected and 

is the fuse (230-240V) intact?
If the refrigerator does not operate in DC mode when 

the engine is running -> is the alternator (D+) connection 

made correctly?
If the Warning indicator lamp (

F

) lights up -> see ”

THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT COLD ENOUGH

If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:

The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of the 

ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from wire 

mesh etc.).
The evaporator is frosted up.
The temperature control setting is incorrect.
The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure regulator at 

the gas container.
The ambient temperature is too high.
Too much food is loaded at one time.
The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing strip 

is defective.

If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call an au-

thorised service technician.

WARNING! The sealed cooling system must not 

be opened, since it contains corroding chemicals 

under high pressure.
