Refrigerator
The ventilation bars provide the refrigerator with fresh air from outside
to ensure sucient cooling performance. The ventilation bar
j
is
located at the bottom of the exterior vehicle wall. The de-aeration bar
k
is located above the ventilation bar.
In the Premium model, the refrigerator is de-aerated by means of
a ue
l
on the roof.
Ventilation and de-aerating of the van is a prerequisite for sucient
cooling capacity. When the refrigerator is not being run, the ventila-
tion grills can be closed using the appropriate covers.
Cooking, wet clothing, etc., produces vapor. Every
person loses up to 35 g of water per hour. Therefore,
depending on the relative humidity, please ventilate
and de-aerate through the windows and roof bonnets
(see also "Winter operation").
We recommend that you open the roof bonnets
whenever you live in the caravan.
Under no circumstances may the safety ventilation be
shut, not even slightly.
Do not block the refrigerator's ventilation grill so as not
to restrict cooling performance and the functions of the
refrigerator.
These winter panels are a chargeable option; they can
be ordered from your dealer.
Please also note the information on the covers. For further
information, please check the operating instructions of
the refrigerator manufacturer.
We recommend that you park the camper in the shade if
the temperature outside is very high.
