5 Using the refrigerator
NOTE
I
• Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, clean it inside
and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
• When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild
odor which will disappear after a few hours. Air the living space well.
• Park the vehicle so that it is level, especially when starting up and filling the refrigerator before setting off on a journey.
• The cooling performance can be affected by:
– the ambient temperature (e.g. when the vehicle is exposed to
direct sunlight)
– the amount of food to be refrigerated
– how often you open the door
16
EN
RMD10 Using the refrigerator
5.1 Tips for using the refrigerator optimally
• Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours of operation.
• Protect the interior of the vehicle from warming up excessively (e.g. sunshades in
the windows, air conditioner).
• Protect the refrigerator from direct sunlight (e.g. sunshades in the windows).
5.2 Operating in low outdoor temperatures
NOTICE!
A
I
➤ Install the LS300 winter covers (accessory) as shown in fig. 3, page 5.
In AC operation and DC operation, install both winter covers. In gas
mode or automatic mode, install only the lower winter cover. This prevents heat from building up and the fumes from the refrigerator can be
extracted properly.
NOTE
Cold air can restrict the performance of the cooling unit. Attach the
winter covers if you experience a reduced cooling capacity at low
ambient temperatures.
5.3 Operation at high ambient temperatures
At high ambient temperatures in combination with high levels of humidity, condensation may form on the ice compartment frame. The ice compartment is equipped
with a frame heater to reduce condensation on the frame of the ice compartment.
The frame heater is switched on continuously in the following operating modes:
•AC operation
• DC operation (when the engine of the vehicle is running)
Only RMD10.5T, RMD10.5XT
In gas operation, the frame heater can be switched on manually.

CAUTION! – Health hazard!
!
A
➤ Store food as shown in fig. 1, page 3.
• Please check if the cooling capacity of the refrigerator is suitable for
the food you want to cool.
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
• The ice compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for keeping frozen food. It is not suitable for freezing previously unfrozen
food.
• If the refrigerator is exposed to a room temperature of below +10 °C
for a prolonged period of time, an even temperature of the ice compartment cannot be guaranteed. This can lead to an increase in the
ice compartment temperature and the stored goods may defrost.
NOTICE!
• The maximum weight per door shelf is 6 kg. The maximum weight
for the entire door is 7.5 kg.
• Store heavy objects such as bottles or cans only in the refrigerator
door, in the lower storage compartment or on the bottom shelf.
• Do not keep carbonated drinks in the ice compartment.

RMD10 Troubleshooting
5.15 Positioning the refrigerator door in the winter
position
CAUTION!
!
Put the refrigerator door and the ice compartment door into the winter position if you
are not going to use the refrigerator for a longer period of time. This prevents mold
from forming.
➤ Defrost the refrigerator (chapter “Defrosting the refrigerator” on page 22).
➤ At the top and bottom of the door in the area of the locking mechanism, pull the
hook all the way out (fig. 8, page 8).
➤ Press against the refrigerator door.

Cleaning and maintenance RMD10
7 Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING!
!
A
➤ Clean the refrigerator regularly and when it gets dirty using 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.
➤ Make sure that the ventilation grills in the outer wall of the motorhome or caravan
and the refrigerator roof ventilator are free from dust and pollutants. This ensures
that the heat generated during operation can be dispersed, the refrigerator is not
damaged and the cooling capacity is not reduced.
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the energy supply before you
clean and service it.
NOTICE!
For cleaning, never use sharp cleaning agents or hard or pointed tools
to remove ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place.
7.1 Cleaning the gas burner
WARNING!
!
I
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. a, page 10).
28
• Allow the burner to cool down before cleaning it.
• Do not modify the gas equipment.
NOTE
• Dirt in the gas burner is indicated by poor ignition or deflagrations.
• The manufacturer recommends also cleaning the burner after not
being used for a longer period and at least once a year.
• When using liquefied petroleum gas, the cleaning interval, depending on the degree of pollution, is reduced to half yearly or quarterly.
