Warranty Information
The refrigerator is guaranteed for one full year if used correctly according to instructions.
Controls: The refrigerator can operate on 230 V, 12 V, or LP gas. Switches A and B select electric power, knob D controls gas. Thermostat C adjusts temperature on 230 V.
Starting: For LP gas, open gas bottle, turn knob D, and press the igniter. For 230 V, turn off gas/12V, set thermostat to highest, and switch B to I. For 12 V, turn off gas, and switch A to I (only when vehicle engine is running).

Cleaning: Use a bicarbonate of soda solution for the interior. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh cleaners.
