1.10 Declaration of conformity
n At an average ambient temperature of
25°C, it is sufficient to operate the refrigera-
tor at middle thermostat setting.
n Where possible, always store precooled
products.
n Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight or any other heat source (e.g. hea-
ter).
n Ensure that air circulation of the refrigerati-
on unit is not obstructed.
n Arrange the shelves evenly in the refrigera-
tor (in the cooling compartment) in order to
achieve the most efficient use of energy.
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.
1.9 Environmental notices
1.9.1 Disposal
n Do not overfill the storage grids and com-
partments to prevent obstructing the inter-
nal air circulation.

2.5 Information on coolant
2.6 Appliances with electronics
(MES/AES)
Car manufacturers often use a so-called bat-
tery management system, which provides the
caravan with constant voltage in trailer mode.
If the car and trailer remain parked for more
than 30 minutes with the engine switched off,
the battery management system automatically
switches off the permanent positive supply to
the caravan (to prevent the battery from disch-
arging). Fridges with control electronics
(MES/AES) are then inoperative.
Check whether your drawing vehicle is equip-
ped with a battery management system.
A permanent 12V power supply must be
guaranteed for operation of the MES/AES
fridges.
It is imperative that the operating pressure of
the pressure reducer on the gas system corre-
sponds to the data specified on the rating
plate of the refrigerator. Compare the opera-
ting pressure of the rating plate with the data
specified on the pressure reducing valve of the
liquid gas cylinder.
2.7 Operating the refrigerator
with gas
WARNING!
Operating the appliance with gas is
not permitted
n at petrol stations
n on ferry boats and on board motor rail
trains
n while transporting the caravan/motor-
home by a transporter or breakdown
vehicle.
There is the danger of fire!
Switch off the appliance.
If you smell gas:
n Open all windows and leave the room.
n Do not operate any electrical equipment
and prevent the use of naked flames.
n Do not operate any electrical equipment
and prevent the use of naked flames.
n 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 and repair
work has been carried out properly.
Dometic refrigerators are equipped for a con-
nection pressure of 30 mbar. For connection
to a 50 mbar gas system, use Truma VDR
50/30 medium pressure controller.
i
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).
WARNING!
n Switch off the appliance.
n Open all windows and doors to ensure
ventilation.
n Leave the living area.
n Inform the authorised Dometic custo-
mer service.

Safety instructions
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
Setting of
cooling compartment temperature
). The unit
operates within its optimum performance
range. Dometic refrigerators work according
to the absorption principle. For physical rea-
sons, 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.
Cold air can restrict the performance of the
unit. Install the winter covers if you disco-
ver any loss of cooling performance when
outdoor temperatures are low (see
Operation during low outside temperatures
).
For ambient temperatures exceeding +32°C
for a longer period of time, it is recommen-
ded installing Dometic additional fan (item
no. 241 2985 - 01 ).
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:
2.8 Safety instructions when
storing foodstuffs
n A change in the climatic conditions such as
temperature fluctuations
n High temperatures inside the vehicle when
it is closed and parked in direct sunlight
(temperatures are possible up to 50°C)
n A refrigerator built in behind a window and
exposed to direct sunlight
n Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly
after starting up the appliance for use
n Use of the refrigerator during travel with the
power supply of 12V DC
n Fluctuations in the power supply at the par-
king place when using the energy type
230V AC (mains voltage).

Storing foodstuffs:
n Pack raw and cooked foods separately
(e.g. in containers, aluminium foil, etc.).
n Only remove the outside packaging of sin-
gle packs if all the necessary information,
e.g. the use-by date, can also be read on
the single packs.
n Please observe the instructions and infor-
mation regarding the use-by date on the
outside packaging of the food.
n Do not leave cooled goods outside the
refrigerator for too long.
n Place the foods with the next use-by date
at the front, accordingly.
n Pack away any left-over food and eat at the
first opportunity.
n Wash your hands before and after handling
any food.
n Regularly clean the inside of the refrigera-
tor.
Please observe section
Cleaning
of this
instruction.
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.

4.0 Refrigerator operation
Refrigerator operation
The refrigerator should only be used in
12VDC-operation while the vehicle’s engi-
ne is running, otherwise the on-board-
battery would be discharged within a few
hours!
CAUTION!
n In compliance with the applicable regulati-
ons, please note that the gas unit and the
connected ventilation ducts must be chec-
ked by authorised technical personnel after
first use and after every other year for com-
pliance with the European Standard EN
1949. A test certificate has to be issued. It
is the user's responsibility to arrange
this test.
n The gas burner must be inspected and
cleaned as necessary at least once a
year. When using liquefied petroleum
gas (tank or refill cylinders) the mainten-
ance interval is reduced to half-yearly or
quarterly.
Keep the evidence of maintenance work
carried out on your refrigerator.
n Work on gas and electrical equipment
shall be carried out by qualified person-
nel only.
It is recommended that this is carried out
by an authorised customer services depart-
ment.
We recommend maintenance following an
extended shutdown of the vehicle. Please
contact our customer services.
The refrigerator is equipped to operate on
three power modes:
n Mains voltage (230V AC)
n Direct-current voltage (12V DC)
n Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)
Select the desired power mode by the energy
selector switch (battery igniter type models)
or the energy selector button (MES, AES).
Appliances with automatic energy selection
(AES) are additionally provided with "automa-
tic mode" function. Then the AES system
automatically selects the best energy source
for each particular situation.
n When the appliance is first put into operati-
on, there may be a mild odour which will
disappear after a few hours.
n Park the vehicle level, particularly when
starting up the refrigerator and filling with
food before starting a journey.
n The cooling unit is silent in operation.
n The refrigerator will take several hours to
reach its operating temperature in the coo-
ling compartment. The freezer compart-
ment should be cold about one hour after
switching on the refrigerator.
i
4.1 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.
Keep the condensation water drain channel
free of deposits.
To avoid material alterations, do not use soap
or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning
agents. Do not allow the door seal to come
into contact with oil or grease.

Refrigerator operation
Mains power (230V)
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!
4.4 Gas operation (liquid gas)
n The refrigerator must be operated using
liquid gas (propane, butane) (no natural gas
or town gas).
n When using LPG gas, please consider that
the burner needs cleaning at shorter inter-
vals due to the gas combustion method (2
- 3 times per year recommended.
n In Europe, gas operation is permitted while
travelling only on the condition that the gas
system of the vehicle is equipped with a
hose rupture protection. The national regu-
lations of the respective country must be
observed.
n For physical reasons, gas ignition faults
could occur starting from an altitude above
sea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (No
malfunction!)
n 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 and any other gas
appliances (e.g. stove) for a short time. The
gas ignites without delay.
n 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.
Prior to starting the refrigerator in gas
mode :
n Open the gas cylinder valve.
n Open the shut-off valve for gas supply to
the refrigerator.
As a basic rule, gas operation is prohibi-
ted in petrol stations!
