1.2 Safety when operating
RC(S)(L)(D)10
CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.
Health hazard

• Make sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may be chilled at the selected temperature.
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase in the temperature in the compartments of the refrigerator.
• Clean regular surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with them and cannot drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerator is left empty for long periods:
  – Switch off the refrigerator.
  – Defrost the refrigerator.
  – Clean and dry the refrigerator.
  – Leave the door open to prevent mold developing within the refrigerator.

Risk of injury

• Do not put your fingers into the hinge.
• Close and lock the refrigerator door before beginning a journey.
• The cooling aggregate at the back of the refrigerator becomes very hot during operation. Protect yourself from coming into contact with hot parts when removing ventilation grilles.

NOTICE! Damage hazard

• Do not lean on the open refrigerator door.

• Only store heavy objects such as bottles or cans in the refrigerator door only, in the vegetable compartment, or on the bottom shelf.

• If the refrigerator has a double-sided door and the door is not locked correctly on the opposite side, push on that side at the top and the bottom until it locks in place.

• Do not use electrical devices inside the refrigerator unless they are recommended by the manufacturer for that purpose.

• Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered.

• Danger of overheating!
  Always ensure sufficient ventilation so that the heat generated during operation can dissipate. Make sure that the refrigerator is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.

• Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.

• 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 you are not going to use the refrigerator for a longer period of time. This prevents mold from forming.
• For ambient temperatures of +15 °C to +25 °C select the average temperature setting.
• To avoid food waste, note the following:
  – Keep temperature fluctuation as low as possible. 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.
