1. Unpacking After removal from the cardboard packaging, make sure the appliance is not damaged. If you find damage to the appliance resulting from transport, report it immediately to the transportation firm. 2.

3. Cleaning Clean both the inside and outside of the appliance before putting it into use. To do so, use a soft towel, lukewarm water and a non-abrasive detergent. Ensure water does not enter the rear cover grill or the control panel. Afterwards, wipe the appliance with a clean towel and cleanwater, and then wipe it dry. To avoid damage, do not use soap, soda or abrasive cleaners. 4.
5.2. Operating from 12 Volt vehicle battery Make sure the voltage shown on the data plate of the appliance matches the voltage of the vehicle battery (12V). In 12V operation, the appliance runs continuously without temperature control. The appliance is supplied with a matching pair of 12 Volt MALE + FEMALE plugs (see 9,2 connection to vehicle power source). For 12V operation, make sure, if the engine is not running, that the switch is turned off.
6. Useful suggestions When setting out on a trip, run the appliance on 240 V (in thermostat setting between min and max for cooling and "max" for freezing) for 24 hours prior to departure. Place food in a precooled condition into the appliance. Frost forms on the evaporator panel when in operation. When opening the lid or putting in food, some of this frost melts and collects in the form of water on the bottom of the appliance. Wipe the water off occasionally using a sponge.
. Trouble shooting 9.1 Before calling a service technician please check carefully the operating instructions, service booklet and the warranty terms and conditions: Make sure no other energy source is connected (gas, 12V).
.2 Connecting to 12 Volt vehicle battery Make sure no other energy source is connected (gas, 240V). The 12V female socket is on the backwall of the appliance, while the male plug is an accessory supplied with your new F400. Connect the wires from the 12 Volt battery to the male plug (see recommended 12 Volt wiring for vehicle). Secure earth wire firmly (Polarity is not important). See fig. 6.
9.4 Connection of gas supply The gas bottle (Propane) may only be used in an upright position and particular care must be taken every time the appliance is connected to the gas bottle to ensure that there are no leaks, that the tubing (rubber hose) is not under tension or kinked, and that it is not in contact with hot surfaces. Always connect in the following sequence: GAS BOTTLE → PRESSURE-REGULATOR → → APPLIANCE.
10. Environmental protection information The appliance does not contain any CFCs/CFCs. Ammonia (natural hydrogen and nitrogen compound) is used as a refrigerating agent in the refrigeration unit. The ozone-friendly cyclopentane is activated as a motive agent for the PU foam insulation. Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (less than 2 weight % of the coolant). 11. Recycling After unpacking the appliance, the packing materials should be delivered to a local collection site.
