Never use an unshielded flame to check gas bearing parts and pipes for leakage! There is a danger of fire or explosion..
Never open the absorber cooling unit! It is under high pressure. There is a danger of injury!
Information on coolant
Ammonia is used as a coolant. This is a natural compound also used in household cleaning agents (1 litre of Salmiak cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia about twice
as much as is used in the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (1.8% by weight of the solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable from the strong odour), proceed as follows:
– Switch off the appliance.
– Air the room thoroughly.
– Inform authorised customer services.
For your safety it was ascertained in an expert’s report that no impairment of health exists when the coolant is discharged.
Operating the refrigerator with gas
It is imperative that the operating pressure corresponds to the data specified on the rating plate of the appliance. Compare the operating pressure of the rating plate with
the data specified on the pressure reducing valve of the liquid gas cylinder.
The refrigerator is operated using the gases and inlet pressures stated below. The pressure reducing valve between the gas cylinder and cooker to be used must comply
with the categories stated in the following table.
Connection pressure and gas categories
Category Pressure / mbar GAS
13B / P(30) 30 Butane
30 Propane
13+ (28-30/37) 28-30 Butane
37 Propane
13B/P(50) 50 Butane
13B/P(50) 50 Propane
If you smell gas :
Open all windows and leave the room.
Do not operate any electrical equipment and prevent the use of naked flames.
Close the gas cylinder valve and leave it closed until the fault has been rectified.
Contact authorised specialist personnel* for advice.
* authorised specialist personnel
Authorised specialist personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch that the inspection has been carried out properly.
Safety instructions when storing foodstuffs
Instructions for storing food in a refrigerator:
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 room
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
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°C or less, especially for meat, poultry, fish, sausages, pre-packed foods.
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.
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 the instructions and information regarding the use-by date on the outside packaging of the food.
Please observe section “4.1 Cleaning” of this instruction.
The cooling unit’s performance is influenced by ambient temperatures. Please select the medium setting for ambient temperatures between +15°C and +25°C (refer to Fig.
28, temperature level 3). 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°C to +32°C ambient temperature.
