When the outside temperature falls below
+10°C, the winter cover (2) should be fitted.
This protects the unit from excessively cold
air which could have adverse effects on the
performance of the unit.
CAUTION!

You should also attach the winter covers if
the vehicle is taken out of service for a longer
period of time or while it is being cleaned from
the outside.
Storing food and making
ice cubes
Storing products in the cooling
compartment
• Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours
before filling it.
• Always store pre-cooled foods in the
refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when
transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
• Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
• Products must be packed - best of all in
closed containers, wrapped in aluminium
foil or similar - and stored separately from
each other, in order to prevent drying out or
odours.
• Allow foods that have been warmed up to
cool down before storing.
• Avoid storing products in the refrigerator that
could emit volatile flammable gases.
• Do not overfill the storage grids and
compartments to prevent obstructing the
internal air circulation.
• Maintain a clearance of approx. 5 - 10
mm between chilled products and post-
evaporator (“cooling fins”).
• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight. Please bear in mind that the
temperature inside a closed vehicle increases
sharply if exposed to sunlight and that this
can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grilles
free from obstructions.
Storing products in the freezer
compartment
• Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.
• The freezer compartment is suitable for
making ice cubes and for short-term storage
of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means
of freezing foods.
When ambient temperatures are lower
than +10°C and the refrigerator is exposed
to these temperatures for extended peri-
ods of time, an even regulation of freezer
temperature cannot be guaranteed for
system related reasons. This can cause
the temperature in the freezer to rise and
the stored goods to melt.

Positioning the storage racks
The storage racks may be pulled out by
loosening the two locking devices (1)
underneath. For loosening pull the slider to the
middle, for fastening pull them sidewards.
Two of the storage racks are secured. In this
way inadvertent entrapment and suffocation
of children is prevented, if the storage racks
are removed. To protect children it must be
avoided to create space for children in the
cooling compartment.
! WARNING: Do not remove these
storage racks. Thus children have no space
to be entrapped in the refrigerator.
If it is necessary to remove these storage racks
(i.e. for cleaning) loosen the locking pins (2) at
first as shown, by means of a suitable screw
driver.
Put in place the locking pins after removing the
storage racks.
