Refrigerator operation
The refrigerator is equipped to operate on
three power modes:
• Mains voltage (230V AC)
• Direct-current voltage (12V DC)
•Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)
Select the desired power mode by the energy
selector switch (battery igniter type models)
or the MODE button (MES, AES). Appliances
with automatic energy selection (AES) are
additionally provided with “automatic mode”
function. The AES system automatically
selects the best energy source for each
particular situation.
Cleaning
Before starting up the refrigerator, it is
recommended that you clean it inside and
repeat this at regular intervals.
Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a
mild detergent. Then wipe out the appliance
with clean water and dry thoroughly.
To avoid material alterations, do not use soap
or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning
agents.
Do not allow the door seal to come into
contact with oil or grease.
Maintenance
• In compliance with the applicable
regulations, please note that the gas unit
and the connected ventilation ducts must be
checked by authorised technical personnel
after first use and after every other year for
compliance with the European Standard EN
1949. A test certificate has to be issued. It is
the user’s responsibility to arrange this test.
• The gas burner must be inspected and
cleaned as necessary at least once a year.
When using liquefied petroleum gas (tank
or refill cylinders) the maintenance interval is
reduced to half-yearly or quarterly. Keep the
evidence of maintenance work carried out on
your refrigerator.
• Work on gas and electrical equipment shall
be carried out by qualified personnel only.
It is recommended that this is carried out by an
authorised customer services department.
We recommend maintenance following an
extended shutdown of the vehicle. Please
contact our customer services.

The ignition process is activated automatically
by means of an automatic igniter.
Note: The flame extinguishes after
reaching the preset cooling compartment
temperature and ignites again if the cooling
compartment temperature increases again.
If the flame is not lit after the first ignition
attempt, the automatic igniter repeats the
ignition twice (duration 30 s) at time intervals
of 2 minutes. If the flame is not lit afterwards,
a fault is indicated.

The LED display (7) of the selected
temperature setting is illuminated.
The scale starts with MIN position at the left
LED position (small bar = highest temperature)
and climbs up to MAX position at the right LED
position (large bar = lowest temperature).
Note: The temperature levels do not relate
to absolute temperature values.
Additional features
• The brightness of the display reduces after a
few seconds if no other buttons are pressed.
The indicator lights again if a button is
pressed. Press the button again to activate
the required function.
• Failures are indicated by flashing of the failure
indicator LED.
• Should the door be kept open for too long
(more than 2 minutes), an acoustic signal is
initiated (pulsing whistle tone).
• Should the electronic control detect any
failure, an acoustic signal will sound (pulsing
whistle tone). At the same time the display
starts flashing (for trouble-shooting, please
refer to page 129).
