DoMETIC REFRIGERAToRS
Before using your refrigerator for the first
time, it is advisable to wash the interior
and its accessories.
When using the refrigerator on gas ensure that
the gas isolation tap is fully open by turning
the knob to the vertical position. The tap can
generally be found inside the sink unit or within
the wardrobe (model specific). When travelling
the fridge can only be Operated in the 12V
mode.
note: Before operating the refrigerator on
12V, it should be pre-cooled, together with
its contents, by running it on gas or 230V
for a few hours before changing over to
12V for your journey.
The current drain is approximately 7A to 14A
(model specific) and power is only available
when the ignition circuit is switched on. On
site, only the mains electric or gas modes
should be used.
The refrigerator can run on either 230V, 12V
or LP gas. Changing between these modes
of operation is carried out by means of the
controls on the control panel.
Caution: only use one source of energy
at a time.
After initial installation, servicing or changing
gas cylinders etc., the gas lines may contain
some air which should be allowed to escape
by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other
appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights
immediately.
The flame failure device will automatically shut
off the gas to the burner if the flame is blown
out. On electric ignition versions, the flame
failure device will also shut off the gas if the
burner does not re-light within about a minute
of the flame being blown out.
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.
