2.2Safe operation
CAUTION!
!
A
z Close the refrigerator door before beginning a journey.
z The refrigerator unit at the back of the refrigerator gets very hot
during operation. Protect yourself from coming into contact with
hot parts when removing ventilation grilles.
z Only store heavy objects such as bottles or cans in the
refrigerator door or on the bottom shelf.
NOTICE!
z Do not use electrical devices inside the refrigerator unless they
are recommended by the manufacturer for that purpose.
z Danger of overheating!
Always ensure sufficient ventilation so that the heat generated
during operation can dissipate. Make sure that the refrigerator
is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the
air can circulate.
z Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered.
z Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.
z Protect the refrigerator and the cable against heat and moisture.
z Make sure that foodstuffs do not touch the walls of the cooling
area.

5Intended use
The refrigerator is designed for installation in caravans or motorhomes. It is
only suitable for cooling, freezing and storing foodstuffs. The refrigerator is
not intended for the proper storage of medicine.
CAUTION! Health hazard!
!
The refrigerator is designed to be operated on a DC power supply and an
AC socket and can be independently powered by liquid gas (propane or
butane). The refrigerator may not be run on natural gas or city gas. The
RM5385 refrigerator also always requires a permanent DC supply.
Please check if the cooling capacity of the refrigerator is suitable
for storing the food you wish to cool.

6.1Description
The refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator. The refrigerator is designed to
operate with different types of power and can be run on an AC power supply,
a DC power supply or with butane/propane gas. For DC operation, the
vehicle battery or a solar system built on the vehicle can be used. For AC
and gas operation, the thermostatic control ensures that the refrigerator
temperature is kept constant and as little power as possible is consumed.
The refrigerator has a locking mechanism to protect it during transport.
The refrigerator has a defrost water drain. The drain opening is located on
the rear panel of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic pilot light which automatically
interrupts the gas supply after approx. 30 seconds if the flame goes out.
The RM5385 refrigerator has an automatic operating mode which selects the
most economical power mode connected.

– The amount of food to be conserved
– The frequency with which the door is opened
– The outside temperature
– The ventilation
z When the device is first used, an odour may develop that will
dissipate after a few hours. Air the living area thoroughly.
z Park the vehicle in a horizontal position, particularly when
starting up and filling the refrigerator before beginning a trip.
z The refrigerator cooling unit is noiseless.
z Around one hour after being switched on, the deep freeze

➤ Disconnect the power and gas supply.
➤ Empty the refrigerator.
➤ Place a cloth in the freezer compartment and the cooling compartment
to collect any excess water.
➤ Leave the door open.
✓ The condensation from the main cooling compartment runs off into a
container on the back of the device and evaporates there.
➤ Wipe both cooling compartments dry with a cloth.
Do not use mechanical tools to remove ice or to free objects
frozen onto the device.

should defrost the refrigerator.
7.12Operation at low outside temperatures
NOTICE!
A
I
Do not attach the top winter covers (not in scope of delivery) while
operating with gas. This prevents heat from building up and the
fumes from the refrigerator can be extracted properly.
NOTE
z Cold air can affect the performance of the cooling unit.
Assemble the winter covers if you detect a drop in cooling
capacity at low outside temperatures. They will protect the
cooling unit from air that is too cold and could otherwise affect
the performance of the cooling unit.

cleaned from the outside or decommissioned for a longer
period of time.

➤ Clean the refrigerator regularly and as soon as it becomes dirty with a
damp cloth.
➤ Make sure that no water drips into the seals. This can damage the
electronics.
➤ Wipe the refrigerator dry with a cloth after cleaning.
➤ Check the condensate drain regularly.
Clean the condensate drain when necessary. If it is blocked the
condensate collects on the bottom of the refrigerator.
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the mains before you
clean and service it.

WARNING!
!
I
➤ After putting the device into use for the first time, and then at two-year
intervals, have the gas installation and the connected exhaust gas guides
inspected by an authorised expert for compliance with standard EN 1949.
➤ The gas burner must be cleaned to remove soiling when necessary, but
at least once a year. If liquefied petroleum gas (tank or refillable cylinders)
is used, the maintenance interval is shorter, and maintenance must be
performed every three or six months, depending on the degree of soiling.
This can be identified from a reduced cooling capacity in gas mode.
➤ Keep the documentation proving completed maintenance of your
refrigerator.
Work on gas and electronic installations may only be performed
by a certified specialist.

Have the refrigerator serviced after the vehicle has been out of
commission for a longer period of time. Contact customer service
to do so.
