INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN
The refrigerator is intended for installation in a caravan
or a motorhome, and the description relates to this ap-
plication.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat
from hot objects.
Excessive heat irradiation impairs performance and leads
to increased energy consumption. For this reason the
refrigerator should be installed if possible not at the en-
trance side of the vehicle - normally orientated south and
often with an awning which would impair the dispersion
of heat and combustion gases from the ventilation open-
ings.
MAINTENANCE
Always turn to a qualified service technician who is fa-
miliar with LP gas systems and refrigerator.
We recommend that a service technician check the re-
frigerator once a year.
Check all connections in the LP gas system for gas
leaks. Connections can be tested for leaks using a
soap solution. Do not use a naked flame! If there
is any suspicion of damage, call for a service
technician.
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
The Instruction Manual is available.
Check that the burner is clean and free from com-
bustible material.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
The refrigerator is not operating on 12 V when the
vehicle is parked; otherwise you will drain the car
battery in a short time.
Defrosting is carried out periodically
The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left
open when it is not to be used for some time.
Liquids or items with a strong odour are well
packed.
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
The doors are secured by means of the travel
catches when the caravan is on the move.
SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
Service and spare parts are obtainable from your dealer
or Dometic - consult the telephone directory.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REPOSITIONING THE HINGES
The refrigerator is equipped with reversible doors.
A special door reversing kit must be used to reverse the
