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.

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.
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)
.

1. Set energy selection switch (A) to position AUTO .
The LED "AUTO" illuminates
.
Manual operation is possible at any time.
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.
Gas faults (RM 76x1 and RM 76x5)
If gas faults occur the operating LED 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 ignition 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.
