If the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently, the reason may be:

1.Inadequate ventilation of the cooling unit due to the intake and/or exhaust air vents being partly or completely blocked.

2.The evaporator is frosted up.

3.The thermostat setting is incorrect .

4.Gas pressure is incorrect - please check the pressure regulator on 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 chemi- cals under high pressure.

MAINTENANCE

Always turn to a qualified service technician who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerator.

We recommend that a service technician check the refrigerator once a year.

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.

The ventilation openings are unobstructed.

The Instruction Manual is available.

Check that the burner is clean and free from combus- tible material.

SOME USEFUL HINTS

Make sure that:

The refrigerator is not operating on 12 V when the vehicle is parked; otherwise you will drain the car battery in a short time.

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 both travel catches when the caravan is on the move.
