Information on coolant
Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in hou-
sehold cleaning agents (1 litre of Salmiak
cleaner contains up to 200g (7.05 oz) of
ammonia - about twice as much as is used in
the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for
corrosion protection (1.8% by weight of the
solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from
the strong odour), proceed as follows:
- Switch off the appliance.
- Air the room thoroughly.
- Inform authorized customer services.
For your safety it was ascertained in an
expert's report that no impairment of health
exists when the coolant is discharged.
No refrigerator of any kind can improve the
quality of the food; refrigerators can only
maintain the food's quality for a short dura-
tion as from the time of storing it.
Please observe the following particular
conditions for storing food in a refrigerator
that is built into a vehicle:
A change in the climatic conditions such as
temperature fluctuations
High temperatures inside the vehicle when
it is closed and parked in direct sunlight
(temperatures are possible up to 122°F
(50°C) )
Use of the refrigerator during travel with the
power supply of 12V DC
A refrigerator built in behind a window and
exposed to direct sunlight
Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly
after starting up the appliance for use
Under these particular conditions the refrige-
rator cannot guarantee reaching the tempera-
ture needed for perishables.
Perishables include all products with a stipula-
ted use-by date and a minimum storage tem-
