HEATING CABLE

During the summer months of high temperatures and

humidity, the metal frame between the freezer and fresh

food compartments may have water droplets forming.

This refrigerator comes standard with a 12 V (DC) heat-

ing cable that will evaporate the water droplets when they

form.

If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be be-

cause:

1. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area

of the ventilation passages (partial blockage of

grilles from wire mesh etc.).

2. The evaporator is frosted up.

3. The temperature control setting is incorrect.

4. The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure

regulator at the gas container.

5. The ambient temperature is too high.

6. Too much food is loaded at one time.

7. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic

sealing strip is defective.

If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a

service technician.

WARNING! The sealed cooling system must not

be opened, since it contains corroding chemicals

under high pressure.

To have the heating cable on, you position the switch

located beneath the control panel to I. See Fig. above.

The heating cable can be left on continuously or only

used when temperatures require it.

Note: The heating cable will draw 12 V (DC) power con-

tinuously when in the ON (I) position. It should be turned

OFF (0) when a charging source is not available.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

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

1. Set the switch (1), fig. 1, to “OFF”.

2. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the

refrigerator.

3. Pull out the plug from the wall socket.

4. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as

described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator

and frozen food compartment ajar.

IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK

Check the following points before calling a service tech-

nician:

1. the LEDs on the control panel must be lit when the

main switch (1) is turned on (12 V must be available).

2. mains voltage are connected but the refrigerator

stays in gas operation: Is the refrigerator correctly

connected and is the fuse (230-240 V) intact?

3. is the 12 V fuse intact?

4. Disconnect the wall plug, and the 12 V wires be-

fore servicing. Check the fuses on the circuit board,

(under the white cover on the back of the refrigera-

tor). Remove the cover and check the fuses.

5. if the refrigerator does not operate in DC mode

when the engine is running:

Is the alternator (D+) connection made correctly?

6. if the warning lamp (F) lights up: see chapter Gas

troubleshooting.

MAINTENANCE

Always turn to a qualified service technician who is fa-

miliar with LP gas systems and refrigerator.

We recommend that a service technician check the re-

frigerator once a year.

• Check that the gas safety shut-off valve is working

properly.

• The ventilation openings are unobstructed.

• The Instruction Manual is available.

• Check all connections in the LP gas system for gas

leaks. Connections can be tested for leaks using a

soap solution. Do not use a naked flame! If there

is any suspicion of damage, call for a service

technician.

• Check that the burner is clean and free from com-

bustible material.

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.
