Protect the refrigerator and the cable against heat and moisture.

NOTE

If the battery management of your vehicle shuts down the refrigerator to protect the battery, contact your vehicle manufacturer.
Put the refrigerator door and the freezer door into the winter position if the refrigerator will not be used for a longer period of time. This pre-vents mold from forming.

To avoid food waste, note the following:
– Keep temperature fluctuation as low as possi-ble. Only open the freezer as often and for as long as necessary. Store the foodstuff in such a way that the air can still circulate well.
– If the temperature can be adjusted: Adjust the temperature to the quantity and type of the foodstuff.
– Store the different foodstuff types as shown in the figures.
– Foodstuff can easily absorb or release odor or taste. Always store foodstuff covered or in closed containers/bottles.
