FITTED EQUIPMENT
REFRIGERATOR
Introduction
Your vehicle is fitted with a dometic
absorption refrigerator which operates on
230V AC mains voltage, 12V DC direct
voltage or LPG gas.
Starting the Refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator for the first
time, it is advisable to wash the interior and
its accessories as described later under
‘Cleaning’.
Gas Operation - Lighting the Burner
• Ensure that gas is available and turn on
any taps in the supply line to the
refrigerator.
• Open the door to give easier access to
the gas controls.
• Switch on the electronic igniter switch (5)
by pushing in the right-hand end against
the symbol ‘I’. The light in the switch
should start flashing, indicating that
sparking is taking place.
• Turn the gas control knob (4) to the
maximum position (3) then press in this
knob
and keep it held in.
• When the burner lights, the neon light in
the switch will stop flashing and go out.
When this happens, keep the knob (4)
held in for a further 15 seconds allowing
the thermocouple over the burner to heat
up, then release the knob. If the light in
the switch starts flashing again, it
indicates that the flame has gone out. Try
this operation again.
• When the burner has lit, leave the igniter
switch (5) in the ‘On’ position. If the flame
Fig 1
goes out, due to a gust of wind for
instance, the igniter will then immediately
start sparking and re-light the burner.
Note: If the burner does not re-light
within about a minute, the flame failure
device will operate and shut off the flow
of gas to the burner. The neon light in the
switch will still continue to flash, however,
to alert you that something is wrong or
that there is no gas supply.
Electric Operation – 230V AC
To start the refrigerator on mains voltage, see
that the gas control knob (4, fig 1) and the
12V supply are off.
Turn the electric thermostat dial (6, fig 2) so
that setting 3 or 4 is against the indicator
mark.
Electric Operation – 12V DC
The refrigerator will only operate on 12V
while the vehicle ignition is on, ie when
travelling.
Note: Before operating the refrigerator on
12V, it should be pre-cooled, together with
the contents, by running it on gas or 230V for
a few hours before changing over to 12V and
starting a journey.
Temperature Regulation
After starting the refrigerator, it will take about
an hour before the ice-tray shelf shows signs
of cooling.
The gas control knob (4, fig. 1) has four
positions, marked ‘Off’, and 3, 2 and 1,
representing three sizes of flame- Maximum,
Medium and Minimum. The amount of
cooling produced in the refrigerator will
depend on the size of flame used.
