WARNING!

Switch off the appliance.
Open all windows and doors to ensure ventilation.
Leave the living area.
Inform the authorised Dometic customer service.

2.6 Appliances with electronics (MES/AES)

Car manufacturers often use a so-called battery management system, which provides the caravan with constant voltage in trailer mode.

If the car and trailer remain parked for more than 30 minutes with the engine switched off, the battery management system automatically switches off the permanent positive supply to the caravan (to prevent the battery from discharging). Fridges with control electronics (MES/AES) are then inoperative.

Check whether your drawing vehicle is equipped with a battery management system.

A permanent 12V power supply must be guaranteed for operation of the MES/AES fridges.

2.7 Operating the refrigerator with gas

It is imperative that the operating pressure of the pressure reducer on the gas system corresponds to the data specified on the rating plate of the refrigerator. Compare the operating pressure of the rating plate with the data specified on the pressure reducing valve of the liquid gas cylinder.

DOMETIC RMS 8405 - Operating the refrigerator with gas - 1

Dometic refrigerators are equipped for a connection pressure of 30 mbar. For connection to a 50 mbar gas system, use Truma VDR 50/30 medium pressure controller.

Authorised specialist personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch that the inspection and repair work has been carried out properly.

2.8 Safety instructions when storing foodstuffs

No refrigerator of any kind can improve the quality of the food; refrigerators can only maintain the food's quality for a short duration as from the time of storing it.

Please observe the following particular conditions for storing food in a refrigerator that is built into a vehicle:

A change in the climatic conditions such as temperature fluctuations
High temperatures inside the vehicle when it is closed and parked in direct sunlight (temperatures are possible up to 50^
A refrigerator built in behind a window and exposed to direct sunlight
Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly after starting up the appliance for use
Use of the refrigerator during travel with the power supply of 12V DC
Fluctuations in the power supply at the parking place when using the energy type 230V AC (mains voltage).

DOMETIC RMS 8405 - Safety instructions when storing foodstuffs - 1
schematic

Under these particular conditions the refrigerator cannot guarantee reaching the temperature needed for perishables.

Perishables include all products with a stipulated use-by date and a minimum storage temperature of +4^ or less, especially for meat, poultry, fish, sausages, pre-packed foods.

Storing foodstuffs:

■Pack raw and cooked foods separately

(e.g. in containers, aluminium foil, etc.).

Only remove the outside packaging of single packs if all the necessary information, e.g. the use-by date, can also be read on the single packs.
Please observe the instructions and information regarding the use-by date on the outside packaging of the food.
- Do not leave cooled goods outside the refrigerator for too long.
Place the foods with the next use-by date at the front, accordingly.
Pack away any left-over food and eat at the first opportunity.
■Wash your hands before and after handling any food.
Regularly clean the inside of the refrigerator.

Please observe section Cleaning of this instruction.

DOMETIC RMS 8405 - Storing foodstuffs: - 1

The cooling unit's performance is influenced by ambient temperatures. Please select the medium setting for ambient temperatures between +15^ and +25^ (refer to Setting of cooling compartment temperature). The unit operates within its optimum performance range. Dometic refrigerators work according to the absorption principle. For physical reasons, an absorption system responds slowly to changes made by the thermostat controller, by loss of cooling energy through opening the door or during storing food. The devices meet the cooling performance requirements of the Climatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in the temperature range of +10^ to +32^ ambient temperature.

Cold air can restrict the performance of the unit. Install the winter covers if you discover any loss of cooling performance when outdoor temperatures are low (see Operation during low outside temperatures). For ambient temperatures exceeding +32^ for a longer period of time, it is recommended installing Dometic additional fan (item no. 241 2985 - 01).

4.0 Refrigerator operation

The refrigerator is equipped to operate on three power modes:

Mains voltage (230V AC)
Direct-current voltage (12V DC)
Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)

Select the desired power mode by the energy selector switch (battery igniter type models) or the energy selector button (MES, AES). Appliances with automatic energy selection (AES) are additionally provided with "automatic mode" function. Then the AES system automatically selects the best energy source for each particular situation.

i

■When the appliance is first put into operation, there may be a mild odour which will disappear after a few hours.
Park the vehicle level, particularly when starting up the refrigerator and filling with food before starting a journey.
The cooling unit is silent in operation.
The refrigerator will take several hours to reach its operating temperature in the cooling compartment. The freezer compartment should be cold about one hour after switching on the refrigerator.

4.1 Cleaning

Before starting up the refrigerator, it is recommended that you clean it inside and repeat this at regular intervals.

Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Then wipe out the appliance with clean water and dry thoroughly.

Keep the condensation water drain channel free of deposits.

To avoid material alterations, do not use soap or hard, abrasive or soda-based cleaning agents. Do not allow the door seal to come into contact with oil or grease.

4.2 Maintenance

In compliance with the applicable regulations, please note that the gas unit and the connected ventilation ducts must be checked by authorised technical personnel after first use and after every other year for compliance with the European Standard EN 1949. A test certificate has to be issued. It is the user's responsibility to arrange this test.
The gas burner must be inspected and cleaned as necessary at least once a year. When using liquefied petroleum gas (tank or refill cylinders) the maintenance interval is reduced to half-yearly or quarterly.

Keep the evidence of maintenance work carried out on your refrigerator.

■Work on gas and electrical equipment shall be carried out by qualified personnel only.

It is recommended that this is carried out by an authorised customer services department.

We recommend maintenance following an extended shutdown of the vehicle. Please contact our customer services.

4.3 Electrical operation

12V-voltage (on-board power supply)

CAUTION!

The refrigerator should only be used in 12VDC-operation while the vehicle's engine is running, otherwise the on-board-battery would be discharged within a few hours!

Mains power (230V)

CAUTION!

This option should only be selected where the supply voltage of the connection for power supply corresponds to the value specified on the data plate. Any difference in values may result in damage the appliance.

4.4 Gas operation (liquid gas)

The refrigerator must be operated using liquid gas (propane, butane) (no natural gas or town gas).
When using LPG gas, please consider that the burner needs cleaning at shorter intervals due to the gas combustion method (2 - 3 times per year recommended.
In Europe, gas operation is permitted while travelling only on the condition that the gas system of the vehicle is equipped with a hose rupture protection. The national regulations of the respective country must be observed.
For physical reasons, gas ignition faults could occur starting from an altitude above sea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (No malfunction!)
On the initial refrigerator start-up or after a cylinder change, air may be trapped in the gas line. To purge the air from the lines, switch on the refrigerator and any other gas appliances (e.g. stove) for a short time. The gas ignites without delay.
Each refrigerator with manual ignition is equipped with an automatic flame safety valve which interrupts the gas supply automatically after approx. 30 seconds when the flame has extinguished.

4.16 Storing food and making ice cubes

4.16.1 Storing products in the cooling compartment

Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours before filling it.
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well cooled when it is bought and also when transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
- Open the refrigerator door only for a short period of time when removing products.
■ Products must be packed - best of all in closed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or similar - and stored separately from each other, in order to prevent drying out or odours.
■Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool down before storing.
- Avoid storing products in the refrigerator that could emit volatile flammable gases.
- Do not overfill the storage grids and compartments to prevent obstructing the internal air circulation.
Maintain a clearance of approx. 10mm between chilled products and post-evaporator ("cooling fins").
Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunlight. Please bear in mind that the temperature inside a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to sunlight and that this can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
- Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grilles free from obstructions.

4.16.2 Storing products 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 food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.

When ambient temperatures are lower than +10^ and the refrigerator is exposed to these temperatures for extended periods of time, an even regulation of freezer temperature cannot be guaranteed for system-related reasons. This can cause the temperature in the freezer to rise and the stored goods to melt.

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.

4.18 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 (0.118 inches) thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted.

Switch off the refrigerator, as described in section Shutting of the refrigerator.
Remove all food and the ice cube 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. Place a cloth in the freezer compartment and in the cooling compartment to collect excess water before defrosting.

CAUTION!

The layer of ice must never be removed forcibly, nor may defrosting be accelerated using a heat source!
