HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S EQUIPMENT
An additional shelf (3) may be installed, if
required. This may be obtained from Dometic.
Storing food in the cooling compartment
• Switch the refrigerator on approx 12 hours
before filling
• Always store pre-cooled food. Make sure
that food is well cooled when it is bought
and also when transporting it – use insulated
cool bags.
• Keep the door open for the minimum time
possible.
• Food must be packed, in closed containers or
wrapped in foil, and stored separately from
each other, to prevent drying out or odours.
• Allow foods that have been warmed to cool
down before storing.
• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grilles
free from obstructions.
Storing food in the freezer compartment
• Do not keep carbonated drinks in the
freezer.
• The freezer compartment is suitable for
making ice cubes and for short term storage
of frozen foods. It is not suitable as a means
of freezing foods.
Note: When ambient temperatures are lower
than +10
o C and the refrigerator is exposed to
these temperatures for extended periods an even
regulation of freezer temperature cannot be
guaranteed for system-related reasons. This can
cause the temperature in the freezer to rise and
stored goods to melt.
Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are best made over night, when the
refrigerator has less work to do and has more
reserves.
Defrosting
In time, frost builds up on the fins inside the
refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker on one side
may occur but does not mean a malfunction.
When this layer of frost is about 3mm thick, the
refrigerator should be defrosted. To do this:
• Switch off the refrigerator as described later.
• Remove all food and the ice cube tray.
• Leave the door open to allow air to enter
and 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 a container at the back
of the refrigerator, from where it evaporates.
Caution: The layer of ice must never be removed
forcibly, nor may defrosting be accelerated using a
heat source.
Shutting off the refrigerator
Press the mode button (1) and keep pressed for
2 seconds. The display will disappear 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 maintained
to prevent the formation of mildew.
If the refrigerator is taken out of service for an
extended period, close the isolation tap and the
gas cylinder valve.
Winter operation
In winter, check that the ventilation grilles and the
exhaust duct have not been blocked by snow,
leaves etc. When the outside temperature falls
below +10
o C the winter covers should be fitted.
This protects the unit from excessively cold air
which could have adverse effects on the
performance of the unit.
Note: The winter covers should also be attached
if the vehicle is taken out of service for an
extended period, or while it is being cleaned on
the outside.
