6 Using the refrigerator

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Using the refrigerator - 1

NOTE

  • Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
  • When using the refrigerator for the first time, there may be a mild odor which will disappear after a few hours. Air out the living space well.
  • Park the vehicle so that it is level, especially when starting up and filling the refrigerator before setting off on a journey.
  • The cooling capacity can be affected by:
    – the ambient temperature (e.g. when the vehicle is exposed to direct sunlight)
    – the amount of food to be refrigerated
  • how often you open the door

6.1 Tips for optimal refrigerator operation

  • Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours after start-up.
  • Protect the interior of the vehicle from warming up excessively (e.g. sunshades in the windows, air conditioner).
  • Protect the refrigerator from direct sunlight (e.g. sunshades in the windows).

6.2 Operation at low outdoor temperatures

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Operation at low outdoor temperatures - 1

NOTICE!

In AC power mode and DC power mode, install both winter covers. In gas mode or automatic mode, install the lower winter cover only. This prevents heat from building up and ensures the fumes from the refrigerator can dissipate properly.

6.12 Notes on storing food

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Notes on storing food - 1

CAUTION! – Health hazard!

  • Please check whether the cooling capacity of the refrigerator is suitable for the food you wish to cool.
  • Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the refrigerator.
  • Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that raw meat and fish is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
  • Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
  • The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for keeping frozen food. It is not suitable for freezing previously unfrozen food.
  • If the refrigerator is exposed to a room temperature of below +10 °C for an extended period of time, a uniform temperature cannot be guaranteed in the freezer compartment. This can lead to an increase of the freezer compartment temperature and the goods stored in it may defrost.

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - CAUTION! – Health hazard! - 1

NOTICE!

  • The maximum weight per door shelf is 6 kg. The maximum weight for the entire door is 7.5 kg.
  • Store heavy objects such as bottles or cans in the refrigerator door, in the lower storage compartment or on the bottom shelf only.
  • Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer compartment.

▶ Store food as shown (fig. 1, page 4).

6.13 Positioning the shelves

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Positioning the shelves - 1

WARNING! Children beware!

All shelves are fixed in place to prevent children from climbing into the refrigerator.

  • Only remove the shelves for cleaning purposes.
  • Refit the shelves and secure them in place.

▶ Remove the shelf as shown (fig. 5, page 6).
▶ Refit the shelf in the reverse order.

6.14 Removing the freezer compartment

You can take out the freezer compartment to make more space in the refrigerator compartment.

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Removing the freezer compartment - 1

NOTE

  • Keep the freezer compartment door and the base in a safe place to prevent any damage.
  • When installing, replace the parts in the reverse order.

▶ Proceed as shown (fig. 6, page 6).

6.15 Defrosting the refrigerator

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Defrosting the refrigerator - 1

NOTICE!

Do not use mechanical tools or a hair dryer to remove ice or to loosen frozen items.

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - NOTICE! - 1

NOTE

Over time, frost builds up on the cooling fins inside the refrigerator. If this layer of frost is about 3 mm thick, you should defrost the refrigerator.

▶ Proceed as shown (fig. 7, page 7).

6.16 Positioning the refrigerator door in the winter position

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Positioning the refrigerator door in the winter position - 1

CAUTION!

The winter position may not be used while driving.

Place the refrigerator door and the freezer compartment door into the winter position if you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time. This prevents mold from forming.

▶ Defrost the refrigerator (chapter "Defrosting the refrigerator" on page 25).
▶ Unscrew the hook near the securing mechanism all the way at the top and bottom of one side of the door (fig. 8, page 8).
▶ Press against the refrigerator door.
√ The protruding pin snaps into the hook.

Open the door in winter mode as follows:

▶ Pull the door toward you.
▶ Push the protruding hooks at the top and bottom of the door back in.

6.17 Optional battery packs

If the vehicle's own 12 V DC battery power supply is unavailable or if the power supply is cut off while the appliance is in operation, the electronic control unit automatically switches over to the internal battery power (if batteries are inserted).

The compartments for the battery packs (accessories) are located on the right and left under the operating element. A total of 12 AA batteries are needed.

▶ Proceed as shown in fig. 9, page 8 to insert the batteries.

7 Troubleshooting

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - Troubleshooting - 1

NOTE

DOMETIC RM 10.5T - WARNING! - 1

NOTICE!

When cleaning, never use sharp cleaning agents or hard or pointed tools to remove layers of ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place.

▶ Clean the refrigerator regularly and when it gets dirty using a damp cloth.
▶ Make sure that no water drips into the seals. This can damage the electronics.
▶ Wipe the refrigerator dry with a cloth after cleaning.

Clean the condensate drain when necessary. If it is blocked, the condensate collects on the bottom of the refrigerator.

▶ Make sure that the ventilation grilles in the outer wall of the mobile home or caravan and the refrigerator roof ventilator are free from dust and pollutants. This ensures that the heat generated during operation can dissipate, the refrigerator is not damaged and the cooling capacity is not reduced.
