HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Switching off refrigerator
• Press the MODE
button to switch
off. Keep button
(A) pressed for
two seconds. The
display
disappears and
the appliance is
fully switched off
• Release the
locking
mechanism of
the door lock by
pushing it and
shift it to the
front. If the door
is shut in this
position, a small
gap is
nevertheless
kept open to
prevent formation
of mildew.
• If the refrigerator
is to be taken out
of service for an extended period of time,
close the onboard shut-off valve and the
cylinder valve.
Lighting
The interior lighting is
controlled using a
door contact. Should
the door be kept open
more than 2 minutes,
an acoustic signal is
initiated (pulsing
whistle tone).
Please contact the authorized Dometic
Service if a failure occurs.

Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night,
the refrigerator has less work to do and the
unit has more reserves.
WARNING: Only use drinking water!
Defrosting
As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins
inside the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker
on one side may occur and does not
represent a malfunction. When this layer of
frost is about 3mm thick, the refrigerator
should be defrosted.
•
Switch off the refrigerator, as described
further on.
• Remove all food and the icecube tray.
• Leave the refrigerator door open to allow
air to enter and to prevent formation of
mildew.
• After defrosting (freezer compartment
and fins free of frost), wipe both cooling
compartments dry with a cloth.
Note: Water thawing in the main
compartment of the refrigerator runs into an
appropriate container at the back of the
refrigerator. From there, the water
evaporates.
WARNING: The layer of ice
must never be removed
forcibly, nor may defrosting
be accelerated using a heat
source.
1. Fill the ice cubes with drinking water.
2. Place the ice cube tray in the freezer
compartment.
