132 Caravan - 10-12 - EN
When operated with 12 V, the refrigerator draws power only from the starter bat-
tery of the vehicle. During prolonged driving breaks without 230 V power supply
therefore change over to gas operation so that the vehicle battery does not dis-
charge and the starting capability of the towing vehicle is preserved.
The thermostat is not activated during 12 V operation. The refrigerator operates
continuously.

tion and when the refrigerator is operated with 230 V. It is not possible with 12 V

puts an extra load on the living area or vehicle battery. Always switch the refrig-
erator off during a temporary lay-up.
