Use the control knob (Fig. 144,4) to adjust the refrigerating temperature.
Switching the 12 V
operation off:

When operated with 12 V, the refrigerator is power-supplied by the starter bat-
tery of the towing vehicle (via the thirteen-pin connector). Therefore 12 V oper-
ation of the refrigerator is only possible while the engine of the towing vehicle
is running. During prolonged driving breaks, change over to gas operation.
Frame heater (FH)
High external temperatures and high humidity can cause drops of water to
form on the metal frame of the freezer compartment. This is why the refriger-
ator is equipped with a frame heater for the freezer compartment. If the tem-
perature and humidity are high, switch on the frame heater by pressing the
button (Fig. 144,1). This prevents corrosion. If the frame heater is switched on,
the indicator lamp (Fig. 144,2) will be lit.
10.6.6 Refrigerator door locking mechanism
With some models, the refrigerator has a separate freezer compartment. The
specifications in this section correspondingly also apply to the door of the
freezer compartment.
There are two positions for locking the refrigerator door in place:
Closed refrigerator door during travel and when the refrigerator is in oper-
ation
Slightly opened refrigerator door as a ventilation position when the refrig-
erator is switched off
If the frame heater is switched on, it will always consume current. There-
fore, switch off the frame heater if the engine of the towing vehicle is off and
the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V power supply.
Further information can be obtained from the separate instruction manual
"Refrigerator".
During the journey the refrigerator door must always be closed and locked
in the closed position.
Lock the refrigerator door in ventilation position when the refrigerator is
switched off. This prevents mould forming.
