Warning
When storing food, it is important to be aware of the specific operating conditions of a refrigerator installed inside a vehicle.
There are conditions under which the appliance is unable to guarantee the necessary temperature to preserve some highly
perishable items, because:
• when travelling, the refrigerator uses the 12V supply
• when parked, you can choose to run the refrigerator on gas or the 230 V supply
• a refrigerator may be located behind a window exposed to the sun
• the vehicle’s temperature may vary a lot depending on external climatic conditions
• the temperature inside a closed stationary vehicle, exposed to sunlight, may exceed 50°C/122°F
• you may need to use the refrigerator shortly after it reaches the optimum temperature.
The following are considered as highly perishable foodstuffs: all products with a use-by date tied to a storage temperature
equal to or below 4°C: meat, fish, poultry, cooked meats, pre-cooked dishes in particular.
Health recommendations
• Pack raw and cooked foods separately using aluminium foil or plastic wrap.
• Only remove the cardboard or plastic outer packaging if the useful instructions (use-by date, storage temperature, cooking
instructions, etc.) are marked on the packaging directly in contact with the product.
The refrigerator air vent covers (optional) must be removed
if gas powered (see chapter 3).
