Advice

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.

Gas operation

The refrigerator should only be operated using liquid gas

(propane). 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 .

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.

2. Set rotary switch (B) to “MAX” postion.

5.2.3

5.2.4

“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 sig-

nal 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

Gasfaults at “AUTO” - mode see “5.2.4”

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.

Set energy selection switch (A) to position

“AUTO” .

The LED "AUTO" illuminates.

Manual operation is possible at any time.

5.3

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 require-

ments of the Climatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in the temperature range

of 50°F to 89°F ambient temperature.

Storing food

 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.

 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 inside the refrigerator unit MUST be able to circulate freely without any hindrance.

(see also Section 6.3 "Ventilation and air extraction" in the Operating Manual)

Products that could emit volatile, flammable gases must not be stored in the refrigerator.

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.
