6 Using the refrigerator

DOMETIC RMD 10.5XT - 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 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 performance 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 using the refrigerator optimally

  • Do not store goods in the refrigerator for the first 12 hours of operation.
  • 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 Operating in low outdoor temperatures

DOMETIC RMD 10.5XT - Operating in low outdoor temperatures - 1

NOTICE!

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

DOMETIC RMD 10.5XT - NOTICE! - 1

NOTE

Cold air can restrict the performance of the cooling unit. Attach the winter covers if you experience a reduced cooling capacity at low ambient temperatures.

▶ Install the WA 300 winter covers (accessory) as shown in fig. 3, page 5.

6.3 Operation at high ambient temperatures

At high ambient temperatures in combination with high levels of humidity, condensation may form on the ice compartment frame. The ice compartment is equipped with a frame heater to reduce condensation on the frame of the ice compartment.

The frame heater is switched on continuously in the following operating modes:

  • A C o p e r a t i o n
  • DC operation (when the engine of the vehicle is running)
