Switching the cool box on and off
Fig. 127 Controls on the cool box
r-f'n First read and observe the Introductory Information and safety warnings & on page 158.
The interior temperature of the cool box is dependent on the temperature in the vehicle. In cooling mode, the interior temperature can be max. 20•c (68°F) below the temperature in the vehicle. In heating mode it can be max. 35•c (95.F) de-grees above the temperature in the vehicle. If you switch directly from cooling to heating (or vice ver-sa) it will take a relatively long time for the interior to reach the desired temperature.

,A WARNING (Continued)
• Drain the fresh water system completely when it will not be used for a long time.
A WARNING
Both the fresh water tank and the waste water tank drain out underneath the vehicle. In very cold conditions this poses a danger from the formation of ice.
• Be especially careful when fresh or waste water are drained during freezing or very cold weather.
CD
In very cold weather the fresh and waste water systems should be emptied to prevent them from becoming damaged if the vehicle is not to be kept heated continuously or Is only to be used for short periods.
CD
Do not allow the water pump to run dry as this will damage the pump.
• Only switch on the water pump when there Is water in the fresh water tank.

A WARNING
Objects that are not secured, or are secured Incorrectly, can cause serious injuries in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeu-vre or accident.
• The refrigerator box lid must always be kept closed and locked when the vehicle is in motion.
• Never use the refrigerator box as a table or stowage compartment when the vehicle is in motion.
• Clean the drain hose and the drain in the sink using a soft flexible object such as a pipe cleaner.
• Insert the drain hose back into the waste water tank connection.
• Tighten the drain hose clamp on the waste wa-ter tank connection.
• Make sure that the drain hose is connected properly and check that the connection is water-tight
CD
Water leaking from a poor connection on the waste water drain hose can cause damage.
• Always check to make sure the waste water drain hose connection Is not leaking. A WARNING
If the ambient temperature in the vehicle is too low, the temperature in the refrigerator box could fall below +2 oc (+35 °F) degrees. This could cause the contents of the refriger-ator box to freeze and bottles and other con-tainers to burst, potentially causing injuries.
• Do not use the refrigerator box when the ambient temperature is too low.
CD
Handling the refrigerator box incorrectly could damage it.
• Do not place containers, food or other ob-jects which are warmer than +50 oc (+122 °F) in the refrigerator box.
• Do not place corrosive substances or sol-vents In the refrigerator box.
• Never expose the refrigerator box to rain or humidity.
• To prevent mould and mildew from forming In the refrigerator box when it is not being used for long periods, place a folded dry towel be-tween the box and Its lid.
r.:l The refrigerator box is not intended to cool or W heat the vehicle interior. The refrigerator box should only be used to keep food cool and for transporting heat-sensitive items on short journeys. Equipment, California 241

Using the refrigerator box
r--('n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The suspended basket in the refrigerator box is for cooling food. The temperature is lower under the basket than inside it. Closed containers or glass bottles are less likely to burst if they are stored in the basket rather than on the bottom of the refrig-erator box .& in Introduction on page 241.
The additional battery will discharge if the refriger-ator box is used for a long period while the engine is switched off and the 230-volt connection is not used.
Before the refrigerator box is used for the first time, it should be cleaned thoroughly using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
Cleaning the refrigerator box
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The refrigerator box works independently of the engine and the ignition. lt is fed exclusively by the additional battery. The refrigerator box is switched on and off and regulated using the central control panel.
As far as possible, keep food and drinks in the re-frigerator box in leak-proof containers. Do not over-fill the refrigerator box such that air circulation is impaired.
Cool the refrigerator box before placing food items and drinks in it. Items you wish to keep in the re-frigerator box should be removed from your house-hold fridge/freezer just before you start your jour-ney. When shopping during a journey, we recom-mend items from shop fridges/freezers be placed in the refrigerator box as quickly as possible. • Clean the refrigerator box using a household detergent before using it for the first time, as well as when it becomes soiled.
• To prevent mould and mildew from forming in the refrigerator box when it is not being used for long periods, place a folded dry towel between the box and its lid. Power supply in the vehicle, California

• Do not insert any items which will conduct electricity, such as knitting needles, into the contacts of the 230-volt Euro socket.
A WARNING
Improper use of the sockets and electrical ac-cessories can cause fires and severe Injuries.
• Never leave children in the vehicle unat-tended. Sockets and the devices connected to them can be used when the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING (Continued)
• If the electrical device gets too hot, switch off the device Immediately and disconnect it from the socket.
CD
• Observe the operating instructions for any device that you plug into the socket.
• Never exceed the maximum power rating as this could damage the whole vehicle electrical system.
• Only use accessories that have been ap-proved in accordance with valid guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
• Never feed electricity into the socket.
• Do not plug any heavy devices or connec-tions, such as mains adapters, directly Into the socket.

• In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that gener-ates electricity, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the vehicle battery, to the 12-volt socket.
• Only use accessories that have been ap-proved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
• In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuation, always switch any electrical con-sumers connected to the 12-volt sockets off be-fore switching the ignition or the engine on or off. When the start/stop system automatically switches off and restarts the engine, it is not necessary to switch off any connected electri-cal consumers.
• Never connect electrical devices requiring more electrical power to a 12-volt socket. The vehicle's electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.
CD
• Observe the operating instructions for any device that you plug Into the socket.
• 230-volt Euro socket:
-Do not plug any heavy devices or connec-tions, such as mains adapters, directly into the socket. .,..
