Instructions for storing food in a refrigerator:
No refrigerator of any kind can improve the quality of the food; refrigerators can only maintain the food's quality for a short
duration 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:
- Achange in the climatic conditions such as temperature fluctuations
- High temperatures inside the vehicle when it is closed and parked in direct sunlight (temperatures are possible
up to 50°C)
- Use of the refrigerator whilst travelling with the power supply of 12V--DC
- Arefrigerator built in behind a window and exposed to direct sunlight
- Storing the goods too soon, i.e. shortly after switching the device on for use
Under these particular conditions the refrigerator cannot guarantee having the temperature needed for food that perishes quikkly.
Foods that perish quickly include: all the products with a stipulated use-by date and a minimum storage temperature of +4°C
or less, especially for meat, poultry, fish, sausage, pre-packed foods.
Instructions
- 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 data, such as the use-by date, for
example, 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 again and eat at the first opportunity.
- Wash your hands before and after touching any food.
- Clean the inside of the refrigerator at regular intervals.
Information :
Please observe the instructions and information regarding the use-by date on the outside packaging of the food.
Please observe the following sections in these instructions: "5.1 Cleaning" and "5.3 Storing food".
Safety instructions
These operating instructions should be kept in a safe place.
If this device is passed on, please include these operating instructions with it.

We are sure that you will be fully satisfied with your new appliance in all respects.
The appliance, which works silently, meets high quality standards and guarantees
the efficient utilisation of resources and energy throughout its entire life cycle, during
manufacture, in use and when being disposed of.
Before you start to use the appliance, please read the installation and operating
instructions carefully.
The refrigerator is designed for installation in leisure vehicles such as caravans or
motorcaravans. The appliance has been certified for this application in accordance with
EU Gas Directive 90/396/EEC.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Warning and safety notices
Never use a naked flame to check the appliance for leaks.
Protect children!
When disposing of the refrigerator, remove all refrigerator doors and leave the
storage rack in the refrigerator. This will prevent accidental locking in or suffocation.
If you smell gas:
- close the locking tap of the gas supply and the valve on the cylinder.
- open the windows and leave the room.
- do not switch on anything electrical.
- extinguish naked flames.
Never open the cooling unit; it is under high pressure.
Work on the gas, flue system and electrical components must only be
carried out by qualified service personnel.
It is imperative that the operating pressure should correspond to the data given on
the model plate of the appliance.
Compare the operating pressure data given on the model plate with the data on the
pressure monitor of the liquid gas cylinder.
Liquid gas cylinders may only be changed by qualified personnel.
Gas operation of the appliance is not permitted while travelling on ferries.
Covers ensure electrical safety and must only be removed using a tool.
The appliance must not be exposed to rain.
The refrigerator is not suitable for the proper storage of medications.
Coolant
Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in household cleaning agents (1 litre of
Salmiak cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia - about twice as much as is used in
the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (1.8% of the
solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from the unpleasant odour):
switch off the appliance.
air the room thoroughly.
inform the authorised Customer Service department.

Using the refrigerator
The cooling unit is silent in operation.
When the appliance is first put into operation, there may be a mild odour which will
disappear after a few hours. Ensure the living area is well ventilated.
The freezer compartment should be cold about one hour after switching on the
refrigerator.
The refrigerator will take several hours to reach its operating temperature.

Electrical operation
1. 12V DC
The refrigerator should only be used while the motor is running.
Set energy selector switch (A) to 12 V .
The refrigerator operates without thermostatic
control (continuous operation).
2. Mains power
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.
Gas operation
5.2.2
5.2.3
All refrigerators, whether manual or automatic ignition, are equipped
with automatic flame protection, which automatically cuts off the supply of gas approximately 30 seconds after the flame goes out.
When using for the first time, and after changing the gas cylinder, the
gas pipes may contain air. By means of brief operation of the refrigerator and any other gas appliances (e.g. cookers), air is removed from
the gas pipes. The gas will ignite without delay
The refrigerator should only be operated using liquid gas
(Propane, Butane). Do not use Autogas, town gas or natural gas.
If the refrigerator is operated during travel using gas, the precautions
stipulated by the legislation in the respective country must be taken (in
conformity with the European standard EN 732).
Due to physical reasons, ignition faults could occur starting from an
altitude above sea level of approx. 1000 m /3280 ft. (No malfunction!)
As a basic rule, operation using gas is prohibited in petrol stations.

9. Repeat the entire process if the flame has gone out.
10. Use rotary switch (B) to regulate the temperature in the main refrigerator compartment.
Temperature setting cooling compartment
As shown, you are able to regulate the temperature of
the cooling compartment, if necessary, by turning
rotary knob (B)
The cooling unit’s performance is influenced by ambient temperatures.
At ambient temperatures of +15°C up to +25°C, set the knob B to the
middle position. The cooling unit works with optimal performance.

Remove cap and exchange battery (1.5V AAA/ R3 / Micro). Observe correct polarity.
Dometic refrigerators work according to the absorption principle.
Due to physical reasons, an absorption system responds slowly to changes
made on the thermostat controller, or a loss in cooling through opening the
door, or storing food. The devices fulfill 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

Storing food
5.3.1
General advices
Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours before filling it.
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
When taking food out of the refrigerator only open the refrigerator door very briefly.
Foods must be packed - best of all in closed containers - and stored separately from
each other.
Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool down before storing.
Products that could emit volatile, flammable gases must not be stored in the refrigerator.
Store quickly perishable foods directly next to the cooling fins.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Please bear in mind that the
tem- perature inside a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to sunlight and that
this can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator..
The air around the cooling unit MUST be able to circulate freely without any hindrance
(see also section 6.3 "Ventilation and air extraction") .
Freezer compartment
Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.
The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term
storage of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.
When ambient temperatures are lower than +10°C an even regulation of freezer
temperature cannot be guaranteed, if the refrigerator is exposed to these temperatures for a long period of time. This can cause the temperature in the freezer to rise and the stored goods to defrost.
