❄️ Fridge - Couple Cottage (Knaus Boxlife 600)

The Couple Cottage is equipped with a built-in fridge-freezer (90 L). It is located in the kitchen area, between the bed and the kitchen

To switch on the refrigerator and freezer, press the blue on/off button for approx. 5 seconds until all bars light up.

To set the cooling level, briefly press the bars to set the desired temperature. We recommend level 3 (7-8°C). The symbol with the moon indicates "night mode", which is quieter.

The refrigerator is powered by the camping battery. Therefore, make sure that there is enough power available so that the refrigerator can cool properly.

Troubleshooting

If the refrigerator in your Couple Cottage does not work as it should, you can try the following:

The refrigerator does not cool sufficiently

  • Check the charge level of the camping battery. If it is too low, connect the vehicle to an external power source.
  • Make sure that the refrigerator is not completely full, otherwise it will not cool properly.
  • Make sure that the "night mode" is switched off.
  • If the refrigerator is overheated, switch it off for an hour and then switch it on again.

The freezer compartment does not freeze

  • The interior of the car may be too warm. Lower the temperature in the car and select a higher cooling level in your refrigerator.

Refrigerator does not cool at all

If the refrigerator will not turn on, a fuse may be defective. Before checking the fuses, rule out other problems such as a weak battery, a switched-off main switch or a residual current circuit breaker.

Before any fuse is pulled, following safety measures is required:

  1. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the contact.
  2. Unplug the car from any external power supply.
  3. Pull carefully on the fuse by pulling from the sides.
  4. A damaged fuse can be burnt or have the connector broken (see picture). If so, please replace it. You can find them at petrol stations and hardware stores. 

The fuse you are looking for (30A) is in the boot next to the circuit breaker switch. It is the 6th in the row, counting from the left. Below it is a snowflake symbol:

If the fuse is damaged or blown, replace it with a new fuse. You can find them in DIY stores, large supermarkets and petrol stations.
