6. Useful suggestions
When setting out on a trip, run the appliance
on 230 V for 24 hours prior to departure.
Place food in a pre-cooled 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.
Avoid putting foods with fragile packaging
(such as glass) into the refrigeration unit.
Movements and shaking of the unit may
cause these items to break.
Once the RC 1180 is in its permanent
position, make sure foods do not come into
contact with the evaporator panel, as this can
cause freezer-burn to the foods.
The appliance is not operated on 12 Volts
when your vehicle is parked, otherwise you
will drain the battery in a short time.
Only one power source is used at a time to
run the appliance.
7. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
For defrosting, always unplug the appliance from
an electrical power source to avoid the risk of
shock. Make sure no other power source is
connected (gas or 12V). Remove food from the
refrigeration unit and leave the lid open.
Depending on the temperature, frost melts in a
short time from the evaporator panel, with water
collecting at the bottom of the appliance. Wipe it
off using a towel. Afterwards, clean the appliance
by following the instructions in section 3. Leave
the lid ajar to prevent any odours from forming.
The appliance is serviced depending on use, at
least once a year by an authorised service agent.
