Does the Dometic RM 8401 refrigerator have automatic ignition?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Dometic RM 8401 refrigerator has automatic gas ignition. Unlike older models that require manual ignition with a battery-operated igniter, the RM 8401 is equipped with an integrated automatic ignition system that greatly simplifies its use.

Operation of the automatic ignition: To set the refrigerator to gas mode, simply press the dedicated energy selection button for gas (button 3). The ignition occurs automatically using an automatic igniter without any manual intervention on your part.

Flame behavior: The flame automatically goes out when the programmed cooling temperature is reached, and then reignites if the temperature rises. If the flame does not ignite on the first attempt, the automatic igniter will repeat the ignition up to two additional times (30 seconds each) at 2-minute intervals. If after these three attempts the flame is still not lit, a fault signal will be displayed on the device.

Benefit for the user: This automatic function is a real advantage over manual models, as it eliminates the need for a match or backup igniter. It is particularly convenient when using the refrigerator in a motorhome, caravan, or boat where access to ignition devices is not always easy.
