9.6 Refrigerator
During the journey, only operate the refrigerator via the 12 V power supply. At
high ambient temperatures the refrigerator is unable to reach its full cooling
power. At high external temperatures, the full cooling power of the cooling unit
is only guaranteed if the refrigerator is ventilated sufficiently. In order to
achieve a better ventilation the refrigerator ventilation grill can be removed.
9.6.1 Refrigerator ventilation grill
Removal:  Depending on the design, push the sliding trap (Fig. 224,1) upwards or turn
the screw (Fig. 225,1) a quarter turn using a coin.
 Remove refrigerator ventilation grill.
Removal:
 Move the locking device (Fig. 226,1 or Fig. 227,1) to the middle.
 Remove refrigerator ventilation grill.
Z When leaving the vehicle, always mount the refrigerator ventilation grill.
Otherwise water can enter during rain.
Z The cooling power of the refrigerator depends on the vehicle setup. The
cooling power can decrease if the vehicle is inclined by 5° or more. There-
fore, always park the vehicle on level ground.
Z Absorption refrigerators operate at normal room temperature (approx.
21 °C) within the specified temperature range. At significantly higher
ambient temperatures (> 30 °C), the cooling power is reduced. This is
because the "evaporating temperature" of the refrigerant is lower in
absorption refrigerators than it is in compressor refrigerators.
