11 - REFRIGERATOR
11.1 Warning
All the refrigerators can operate in three ways, that
is to say that they can be powered with: AC at 230 V,
DC at 12 V, gas.
Power supply with current at 12 V allows to keep the
appliance on also during transfers but it provides only
holding power; for this reason, before departure, it
is important to cool the refrigerator and the possible
food using power supply at 230 V or gas.
Always remember that the refrigerator cooling power
is affected by:
• the source of energy it is powered with;
• possible breaks in shifting from one source to
another one;
• the ice thickness on the refrigerator’s walls that
works as insulator (defrost when it exceeds 3 mm);
• the quantity of food inside the refrigerator;
• the climatic conditions the vehicle is exposed to (if
parked in the summer sun, inside the vehicle it is
possible to reach and exceed 50 °C).
To avoid dangerous food intoxications we recommend
to use the utmost care in storing perishable food
bearing in mind that the performances of these appli-
ances cannot be compared with those of a household
refrigerator.
Automatic mode
By selecting the automatic mode, the electronic board
will automatically identify the most suitable power
supply in the following priority order: 230 V, 12 V, gas.
In passing from 12 V to gas, the automatic system
requires a waiting period of 15 minutes. This is to
prevent the fridge from passing too quickly to the gas
supply, when this is not necessary (for example, when
a short stop is needed at a fuel station).
Manual selection of the type of power
supply
Gas supply is strictly forbidden during stops at filling
stations and when driving the vehicle. For safety
reasons, the gas supply can only be selected after
15 minutes have elapsed from the time the engine is
turned off. Concerning 12 V or 230 V power supply,
if these are selected respectively when the engine is
off or without connection to the external power grid,
the refrigerator does not operate. For these reasons
we recommend the automatic mode, which enables
proper and safe operation of the equipment.
Read the user guide of the producer before using
the appliance.
WARNING
Periodically clean the back of the refrigerator,
accessible through the grids placed on the outer
wall of the vehicle and check that there are no
spider webs or other objects that obstruct the gas
burner.
WARNING
• Use the utmost care in storing perishable food.
• If possible, the refrigerator should be turned
on for about 6 hours prior to inserting the food
items.
• When parked, level the vehicle as much as
possible.
• Defrost when the ice thickness exceeds 3 mm.
• Wash the inside with suitable cleaners when
the appliance is no longer in use.
• Treat the rubber door seals with talcum powder.
• Insert the door safety device while travelling.
THINGS TO DO
• Do not open the door too often in summer.
• Do not introduce hot food.
• Do not consume perishable foods in case of
prolonged refrigeration interruption.
• Do not expose to the sun the wall where the
refrigerator is housed
• Do not damage or obstruct the air intakes.
• Do not leave the refrigerator doors closed
during a long period of inactivity.
• Do not dismantle the refrigerator on your own.
