NFORMATION ON
C
OOLANT
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
used in the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is
used for corrosion protection (1.8% by weight
of the solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from
the strong odour), proceed as follows:
• Switch off the appliance.
• Air the room thoroughly.
• Inform authorised customer services.
For your safety it was ascertained in
an expert’s report that no impairment
of health exists when the coolant is
discharged.
A
PPLIANCES WITH
E
LECTRONICS
(MES/AES)
Car manufacturers often use a battery
management system, which provides the
caravan with constant voltage in trailer mode.
If the car and trailer remain parked for more
than 30 minutes with the engine switched off,
the battery management system automatically
switches off the permanent positive supply
to the caravan (to prevent the battery from
discharging). Fridges with control electronics
(MES/AES) are then inoperative.
Check whether your drawing vehicle is
equipped with a battery management system.
A permanent 12v power supply must be
guaranteed for operation of the MES/AES
fridges.

PERATING THE

EFRIGERATOR WITH
G
AS
It is imperative that the operating pressure
of the pressure reducer on the gas system
corresponds to the data specified on the
rating plate of the refrigerator. Compare the
operating pressure of the rating plate with the
data specified on the pressure reducing valve
of the liquid gas cylinder.
Dometic refrigerators are equipped
for a connection pressure of 30mbar.
