If the external temperature is high, full refrigerating capacity can
only be ensured by means of sufficient ventilation. To achieve
better ventilation, ensure that the side of the mobile home with the
refrigerator ventilation grids stands in the shade (
see Chapter 5.1
).

Environmental conditions influence the performance of the
refrigeration unit. The system reacts sluggishly to changes in
the thermostat regulator, loss of cold when opening the door
or storing goods. Use the winter cover if the temperature is
below +10°C (Dometic accessory).
If the temperature stays above +32°C, an additional fan
(Dometic accessory) should be installed.
Turn on the refrigerator at least 12 hours before putting
anything in it.
