NOTE
• Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, clean it inside
and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
• When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild
odor which will disappear after a few hours. Air the living space well.
• Park the vehicle so that it is level, especially when starting up and fill-
ing the refrigerator before setting off on a journey.
• The cooling performance can be affected by:
– the ambient temperature (e.g. when the vehicle is exposed to
direct sunlight)
– the amount of food to be refrigerated
– how often you open the door
6.1 Tips for using the refrigerator optimally
• Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours of operation.
• Protect the interior of the vehicle from warming up excessively (e.g. sunshades in
the windows, air conditioner).
• Protect the refrigerator from direct sunlight (e.g. sunshades in the windows).
6.2 Operating in low outdoor temperatures

NOTICE!
In AC operation and DC operation, install both winter covers. In gas
mode or automatic mode, install only the lower winter cover. This pre-
vents heat from building up and the fumes from the refrigerator can be
extracted properly.

NOTE
Cold air can restrict the performance of the cooling unit. Attach the win-
ter covers if you experience a reduced cooling capacity at low ambient
temperatures.
➤ Install the LS 300 winter covers (accessory) as shown in fig. 4, page 5.
