General
1.10 Declaration of conformity
At an average ambient temperature of
25°C, it is sufficient to operate the refrige-
rator at middle thermostat setting.
Where possible, always store precooled
products.
Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight or any other heat source (e.g. hea-
ter).
Ensure that air circulation of the refrigerati-
on unit is not obstructed.
Arrange the shelves evenly in the refrigera-
tor (in the cooling compartment) in order to
achieve the most efficient use of energy.
Maintain a clearance of approx. 10 mm
between chilled products and post-evapo-
rator ("cooling fins").
Defrosting at regular intervals saves energy
(
see section 5.10 "Defrosting").
Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours
before filling it.
1.9.2 Energy-saving tips
Ammonia (a natural compound of hydrogen
and nitrogen) is used in the cooling unit as a
coolant. Non-ozone-hazardous cyclopentane
is used as a propellant for manufacturing PU
foam insulation.
In order to ensure that the recyclable packa-
ging materials are re-used, they should be
sent to the customary local collection system.
The appliance should be transferred to a suit-
able waste disposal company that will ensure
re-use of the recyclable components and pro-
per disposal of the rest. For eco-friendly drai-
ning of the coolant from all absorber refrigera-
tion units, a suitable disposal plant should be
used.
Appliances bearing this symbol must be depo-
sited at the designated local
reception point for the disposal of
electrical and electronic equip-
ment.
It is not permitted that this product
be disposed of by way of the nor-
mal household refuse collection
system.
Dometic refrigerators bear this symbol on the
data plate to be found in the interior of the
unit.

2.5 Information on coolant
Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in hou-
sehold cleaning agents (1 litre of Salmiak
cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia -
about twice as much as is used in the refrige-
rator). Sodium chromate is used for corrosion
protection (1.8% by weight of the solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from
the strong odour), proceed as follows:
- Switch off the appliance.
- Air the room thoroughly.
- Inform authorised customer services.
For your safety it was ascertained in an
expert's report that no impairment of health
exists when the coolant is discharged..
It is imperative that the operating pressure
corresponds to the data specified on the
rating plate of the appliance. Compare the
operating pressure of the rating plate with the
data specified on the pressure reducing valve
of the liquid gas cylinder.
2.6 Operating the refrigerator
with gas
If you smell gas :
Open all windows and leave the room.
Do not operate any electrical equipment
and prevent the use of naked flames.
Close the gas cylinder valve and leave it
closed until the fault has been rectified.
Contact authorised specialist personnel*
for advice.
* authorised specialist personnel
Authorised specialist personnel are accredited
experts who are able, by virtue of their training and
knowledge, to vouch that the inspection has been
carried out properly.
Connection pressure and gas categories
The refrigerator is operated using the gases
and inlet pressures stated below. The pressu-
re reducing valve between the gas cylinder
and cooker to be used must comply with the

Instructions for storing food in a refrigera-
tor:
No refrigerator of any kind can improve the
quality of the food; refrigerators can only
maintain the food's quality for a short dura-
tion as from the time of storing it.
Please observe the following particular
conditions for storing food in a refrigerator
that is built into a vehicle:
A change in the climatic conditions such as
temperature fluctuations
High temperatures inside the room
A refrigerator built in behind a window and
exposed to direct sunlight
Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly
after starting up the appliance for use
Under these particular conditions the refrige-
rator cannot guarantee reaching the tempera-
ture needed for perishables.
Perishables include all products with a stipula-
ted use-by date and a minimum storage tem-
perature of +4°C or less, especially for meat,
poultry, fish, sausages, pre-packed foods.
Pack raw and cooked foods separately
(e.g. in containers, aluminium foil, etc.).
Only remove the outside packaging of
single packs if all the necessary informati-
on, e.g. the use-by date, can also be read
on the single packs.
Do not leave cooled goods outside the
refrigerator for too long.
Place the foods with the next use-by date
at the front, accordingly.
Pack away any left-over food and eat at the
first opportunity.
Wash your hands before and after handling
any food.
Regularly clean the inside of the refrigera-
tor.
Please observe the instructions and informati-
on regarding the use-by date on the outside
packaging of the food.
Please observe section
"4.1 Cleaning"
of this
instruction.
2.7 Safety instructions when
storing foodstuffs
The cooling unit's performance is influenced
by ambient temperatures. Please select the
medium setting for ambient temperatures bet-
ween +15°C and +25°C (refer to Fig. 28, tem-
perature level 3). The unit operates within its
optimum performance range.
Dometic refrigerators work according to the
absorption principle. For physical reasons, an
absorption system responds slowly to
changes made by the thermostat controller, by
loss of cooling energy through opening the
door or during storing food. The devices meet
the cooling performance requirements of the
Climatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in the
temperature range of +10°C to +32°C ambient
temperature.

shall be carried out by qualified personnel
only.
WARNING!
The cooling unit is silent in operation.
When the appliance is first put into operation,
there may be a mild odour which will disappe-
ar after a few hours.
The refrigerator will take several hours to reach
its operating temperature in the cooling com-
partment. The freezer compartment should be
cold about one hour after switching on the
refrigerator.
The refrigerator is equipped to operate on
three power modes:
Mains voltage (230V AC)
Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)
Select the desired power mode by the energy
selector switch (Fig.7).
5.1 Cleaning
Before starting up the refrigerator, it is recom-
mended that you clean it inside and repeat this
at regular intervals.
Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a
mild detergent. Then wipe out the appliance
with clean water and dry thoroughly.

or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning
agents. Do not allow the door seal to come
into contact with oil or grease.
5.0 Refrigerator operation
5.3 Electrical operation
This option should only be selected where
the supply voltage of the connection for
power supply corresponds to the value
specified on the data plate. Any difference
in values may result in damage the
appliance.
CAUTION!
5.4 Gas operation (Liquid gas)
The refrigerator must be operated using
liquid gas (propane, butane) (no natural
gas or town gas).
For physical reasons, gas ignition faults
could occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (No
malfunction!)
On the initial refrigerator start-up or after a
cylinder change, air may be trapped in the
gas line. To purge the air from the lines,
switch on the refrigerator for a short time.
The gas ignites without delay.
Each refrigerator with manual ignition is
equipped with an automatic flame safety
valve which interrupts the gas supply auto-
matically after approx. 30 seconds when
the flame has extinguished.

5.7 Removable freezer
compartment
5.8 Storing food and making ice
cubes
Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours
before filling it.
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refri-
gerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when
transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
Products must be packed - best of all in
closed containers, wrapped in aluminium
foil or similar - and stored separately from
each other, in order to prevent drying out or
odours.
Allow foods that have been warmed up to
cool down before storing.
Avoid storing products in the refrigerator
that could emit volatile flammable gases.
Do not overfill the storage grids and com-
partments to prevent obstructing the inter-
nal air circulation.
Maintain a clearance of approx. 5 - 10 mm
between chilled products and post-evapo-
rator ("cooling fins").
Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation gril-
les free from obstructions.
5.8.1 Storing products in the cooling
compartment
5.8.2 Storing products in the freezer
compartment
Do not keep carbonated drinks in the free-
zer.
The freezer compartment is suitable for
making ice cubes and for short-term stora
ge of frozen food. It is not suitable as a
means of freezing foods.

5.8.3 Refrigerator compartments
When ambient temperatures are lower than
+10°C and the refrigerator is exposed to
these temperatures for extended periods of
time, an even regulation of freezer tempe-
rature cannot be guaranteed for system-
related reasons. This can cause the tempe-
rature in the freezer to rise and the stored
goods to melt.

5.8.4 Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night,
the refrigerator has less work to do and the
unit has more reserves.
1. Fill the ice cube tray
with drinking water.
2. Place the ice cube
tray in the freezer
compartment.

5.10 Defrosting
As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins
inside the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker
on one side may occur and does not represent
a malfunction. When this layer of frost is about
0.118 inches (3 mm) thick, the refrigerator
should be defrosted..
Switch off the refrigerator, as described in
section
5.9 Shutting of the refrigerator
.
Remove all food and the ice cube tray.
Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air
to enter and to prevent formation of mildew.
After defrosting (freezer compartment and
fins free of frost), wipe both cooling com-
partments dry with a cloth.
Note: Water thawing in the main compartment
of the refrigerator runs into an appropriate
container at the back of the refrigerator. From
there, the water evaporates.
The layer of ice must never be removed
forcibly, nor may defrosting be accelera-
ted using a heat source!
CAUTION!
