INTRODUCTION
You have made an excellent choice in selecting the Dometic Absorption Refrigerator.
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.
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 refrigerator will take several hours to reach its operating temperature
in the cooling compartment
The freezer compartment should be cold about one hour after switching on
the refrigerator.
Controls
Note:
The refrigerator is equipped to operate on mains power, DC or liquid gas (propane/
butane). The desired power option is selected by means of energy selector switch (A).
Energy selector switch (A) has four settings: AC mains power, DC (12V),
Gas (liquid gas), OFF.
Appliances with automatic energy selection have the additional setting AUTO .

Electrical operation
1. 12V - operation (DC)
The refrigerator should only be used while the motor is running, otherwise
the on-board-battery would be discharged within a few hours!
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
The refrigerator should only be operated using liquid gas
(propane, butane). Do not use 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).
Operating the refrigerator with gas is not permitted during travel in
France and Australia.
As a basic rule, operation using gas is prohibited in petrol stations.
1. Open the valve of the gas cylinder
2. Open the shut-off valve to the gas supply.
The ignition process is activated automatically, accompanied by a ticking sound
approx. 30 sec. Upon successful ignition, the display LED (C) Gas lights yellow.
The refrigerator is in function. Use rotary switch (B) to regulate the temperature in the
main refrigerator compartment.
Gas faults
In the event of a gas fault (e.g. gas cylinder empty),
the operating display (C) flashes yellow.
Remedies:
Set the energy selector switch (A) to position OFF.
1. Is there any gas in the gas bottle?
2. Is the gas bottle valve open?
3. Is the on-board shut-off valve open?
4. Set the main switch (A) to on
The reignition starts again.
If after about 30 seconds the operating display (C) starts flashing red
again, the gas fault has not been cleared (e.g. air in the gas pipe).
5. Briefly switch the refrigerator off and then on again using main switch (A).
To remove air from the gas pipes, repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
If these actions do not help, please call an authorised Dometic Service Centre.

AUTO-operation
RM7XX5 L - models are equipped with an AUTO-MATIC function.
Explanations:
Upon switching on, the electronics automatically select one of the three
possible energy types: 230V - 12V - liquid gas. The control electronics
automatically ensure that the refrigerator is supplied with the optimum
source of energy in each respective case.
Priority 1.) Solar (12V DC)
2.) 230V AC
3.) 12V DC
4.) Liquid gas
The selected energy is displayed by the corresponding LED (i.e. 230V)
.
230 V - operation
If sufficient supply voltage is available (more than 200V), this power source is
selected as the first option ( no solar-system installed).
12 V - operation
12V operation should only be selected while the vehicle motor is running or there
is sufficient voltage available from the solar system. This can be detected from
the D+ connection of the alternator to the electronics, or from the respective signal on the solar charge regulator.
Gas operation
Gas operation is selected in the following circumstances:
No supply voltage available.
The vehicle engine is not running.
Supply voltage less than 200V
REFUELLING STOP
In order to prevent unintended switching to gas operation during refuelling,
the electronic system starts gas operation of the refrigerator, after the
motor has been turned off for 15 mins. During this time the appliance is in
stand-by operation mode and only the "AUTO" LED lights up.
The use of naked flames is prohibited in petrol station environments.
If the refuelling stop lasts longer than 15 mins., the refrigerator should be
switched off at the main switch (A), or switched over to another energy
type.
