Travel Catch, Food Storage, ICE Making | Electrolux RM 4201 guide

TRAVEL CATCH

Make sure that the travel catch is engaged when the caravan is on the move, (fig 1).

The travel catch at the top of the door can be set in two different positions. In one position the door is held tightly shut. In the other position the door is secured ajar so that the refrigerator can be aired when not in use.

FOOD STORAGE

Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food in the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.

Never keep items in the refrigerator which might give off flammable gases.

The 2-star (**) frozen food compartment is intended for the storage of frozen food and for making ice. It is not sui- table for freezing items of food.

Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food storage compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also don't give children ice lollies straight from the frozen food as they could cause frost burns.

Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food compartment for about a month. This period of time may vary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions on the individual packets.

ICE MAKING

It is practical to make ice during the night - then the refri- gerator is less demanded and the cooling unit has more reserves. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim with drin- king water and place it on the freezer shelf.

To speed up the ice making, one can spill one or two spo- onfuls ofwater on the freezer shelf to improve the contact to the ice tray. If you have more than one ice tray it is a good idea to make ice in advance and save the frozen trays in the frozen food compartment.

DEFROSTING

Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating sur- faces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects refrigerator perfor- mance.

Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.

To defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items of fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so they should be consumed within 24 h or discarded.

Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfa- ces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice.

The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it evapora- tes. Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be mopped up with a cloth.

When the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and restart it. Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and hygienic.

Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the refrige- rator and its fittings.

Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented products or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrige- rator as they may damage the surfaces and leave a strong odour.

The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now and again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of detergent. But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly dried.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

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

1.Set any switches to 0.

2.Set the gas valve (D) to λ.

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

4.Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and the frozen food compartment ajar. Use the travel catch to hold in this position.

5.When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time (e.g. during the winter months), we suggest fitting the winter covers WA120, fig. 2, onto the vent grills.

IF THE `FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK

Check the following points before calling a service tech- nician:

1.That the STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR instruc tions have been followed.

2.The refrigerator is level.

3.If it is possible to start the refrigerator on any of the connected sources of energy.

4.If the refrigerator fails to work on gas, check:

That the gas bottle is not empty.

That all LP-gas valves are open.

5.If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check:

That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigerator.

That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact.

That the 12 V switch is on.

6.If the refrigerator fails to work on 230 V, check:

That the 230 V supply is connected to the refrigerator.

That the fuse is intact.

If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:

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.

RM 4200, Rm 4211, RM 4201, RM 4210 specifications

The Electrolux RM 4210, RM 4201, RM 4211, and RM 4200 are a series of high-efficiency, innovative refrigerators designed to meet the diverse needs of consumers seeking both functionality and reliability. These models are particularly suited for those looking for advanced cooling technology combined with energy efficiency.

One of the defining features of these Electrolux refrigerators is their impressive cooling system. The "DynamicCooling" technology ensures that the interior temperature remains constant, effectively preventing temperature fluctuations that can compromise food safety. This technology also enhances the preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables, maintaining their texture and flavor for a longer duration.

Another significant characteristic is the "MultiFlow" air distribution system, which allows for even air circulation throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This prevents the formation of hotspots and promotes effective cooling by distributing the cold air evenly around the food items. As a result, users experience superior storage conditions for perishables, thereby reducing waste.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Electrolux RM series. These models are designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing performance. They boast an A+ energy rating, making them one of the more sustainable choices available on the market today. The use of LED lighting not only illuminates the interior effectively but also contributes to lower energy use compared to traditional lighting solutions.

The exterior design of these models is both modern and practical. The stainless steel finish not only offers a sleek aesthetic but is also easy to clean and resistant to fingerprints. Furthermore, the ergonomic handle designs ensure ease of access while maintaining a sophisticated look.
