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 bicarbon- ate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the refrigerator and its fittings.
Never use detergents, scouring powder, strongly | Km |
scented products or wax polish to clean the interior | |
of the refrigerator as they may damage the surfaces |
|
and leave a strong odour. |
|
The exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now and then, 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.
The cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned with a brush from time to time, but make sure that the refrigerator is switched off when doing this.
REPLACING THE BULB
To replace the bulb, follow these steps:
1.Remove the cover from the lamp body by pushing it backwards.
2.Remove the bulb.
3.Put in a new bulb (12V, max. 10 W).
4.Push the lamp cover back in place.
HEATING CABLE
During the summer months of high tempera- tures and humidity, the metal frame between the freezer and fresh food compartments may have
water droplets forming. This refrigerator comes
RM 4605 standard with a 12V DC heating cable that will evaporate the water droplets when they form.
To have the heating cable on, you position the switch located be- neath the control panel to I, see Fig. 2.
The heating cable can |

NOTE! The heating cable will draw 12V DC power continuously when in the ON (I) posi- tion. It should be turned off when a charging source is not available.
TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1.Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF button (1) to “OFF”.)
2.Shut off any
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.
PRODUCT CARE - 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK
Before calling an authorised service technician:
Ensure that the instructions in this manual have been fol- lowed.
Check to make sure that the refrigerator is not tilted exces- siveley.
Verify that the LEDs on the control panel are lit when the ON/OFF button (1) is turned on. (12V must be available.)
Check that the 12V fuse is intact.
NOTE! Before servicing and when checking the fuses - disconnect the wall plug and the 12V wires.
Check the fuses on the circuit board which is located under the cover on the back of the refrigerator.
If the mains voltage are connected but the refrigerator stays in gas operation
If the refrigerator does not operate in DC mode when the engine is running
If the Warning indicator lamp (F) lights up
THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT COLD ENOUGH
If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:
The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from wire mesh etc.).
The evaporator is frosted up.
The temperature control setting is incorrect.
The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure regulator at the gas container.
The ambient temperature is too high.
Too much food is loaded at one time.
The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call an au- thorised service technician.
WARNING! The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since it contains corroding chemicals under high pressure.
