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.
• 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.

2421 Before the journey
There are two separate power circuits in the vehi-cle:
• 12-volt DC circuit
• 230-volt AC circuit
12-volt DC circuit
Power is supplied as standard from the additional batteries under the left front seat and in the ward-robe to the following 12-volt consumers:
• Interior lights in the living area
• 12-volt sockets in the living area
• 230-volt Euro socket in the side trim panel be-hind the left front seat
• Central control panel
• Refrigerator box
Page 246 of 486
Inserting the Euro plug
• Plug the Euro plug into the Euro socket. The child safety function will disengage at the same time. Electricity will not flow until the child lock has been unlocked.
• Push the Euro plug all the way into the Euro socket so that it is firmly in place and will not fall out as a result of vibration or other vehicle motion.
LEDs above the socket
Constant green light The child lock is disen-gaged. The Euro socket is ready for use.
Flashing red light A fault has occurred. for example cut-off due to excess current or tem-perature.
Compatible devices
Electrical devices with a Euro plug can be connec-ted to the 230-volt Euro socket in the side trim pan-el behind the left front seat.
230-volt grounded safety socket
Fig. 210 There is a 230-volt grounded safety socket Q) on the side of the kitchen unit.
r--T'n First read and observe the Introductory L-k.U information and safety warnings & on page 242.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the 230-volt grounded safety socket is located on the side of the kitchen unit 210 or in the side trim panel behind the left front seat 211 Intro-duction on page 243.
The 230-volt grounded safety socket only operates when the following conditions exist concurrently:
246 I Before the journey
The maximum power rating is 150 watts. Do not exceed the maximum power rating. This also ap-plies to the total power consumption of all connec-ted devices if you connect several devices at the same time in Introduction on page 243. The power rating of each device is stated on its type plate.
Temperature switch-off
The inverter in the 230-volt Euro socket will switch off automatically if the temperature exceeds a spe-cific value. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the pow-er consumption is too high or if the ambient tem-perature is too high. The 230-volt Euro socket can-not be used again until after the cool-down phase.
The plug on the connected device must first be re-moved and then reinserted before using the 230-volt Euro socket again after the cooling phase. This helps prevent the connected electrical devices being switched on accidentally. <1

In some vehicles, the locations of fuse blocks could vary from the those shown In the table. How-ever, since the order of the amp ratings is identical within any individual fuse block, you will still be able to identify the electrical consumers if this is the case.
The fuses for the camping equipment electrical consumers are located under the left front seat 214. Other vehicle parts will have to be re-moved in order to gain access to the fuse box. If you are unsure, have the fuses changed by a qualified workshop.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
