Dometic RM2350 - Installing the Refrigerator in Enclosure

5
The supply pipe should be of copper. If other material is
used, it must be of a type approved for use with continuously
operating bottle-gas appliances and have threaded connec-
tions throughout.
All connectors etc. should be of a type specically designed
for the type and diameter of the connection pipe used, and
screwed joints should be sealed with a joining compound ap-
proved for use with bottle-gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
which is furnished with an ISO 7/1 - Rp 1/8 internal pipe
thread connection with a SAE are.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock
of an approved bottle-gas type must be incorporated in the
supply line in a position which is readily accessible to the
user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be
positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being
readily withdrawn.
All completed connections should be checked for leaks with
soapy water.
Testing ULP gas safety shut off
The gas safety shut o must be tested after the refrigerator is
connected to the ULP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shuto, proceed as follows:
1. Start the refrigerator.
2. Check that the gas ame is lit which can be ob-
served on the ame indicator E. The red indicator
is in the green eld, (ON).
3. Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to
“OFF” position.
4. Wait for one minute.
5. Remove burner cover plate.
6. Open the gas valve by turning knob A to position
(GAS) without pushing the buttons C and D.
7. Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solution
to the burner jet.
8. No bubbles should appear at the opening of the
burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a de-
fective gas safety shuto, and service is required.
If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas
safety valve is working properly.
9. Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before pro-
ceeding. Be careful not to damage the burner jet.
10. Replace cover and turn the main switch OFF and
back ON.
11. Normal operation of the burner should return.
Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5
minutes.
!WARNING
Do not use an open ame to check for gas leaks.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and
durable manner, taking into account all relevant regulations
and codes of practice.
For mains voltage operation, it is important that the circuit to
and in the caravan is eectively earthed.
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazards and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded threeprong
receptacle. Note! Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.
The free length of the cord is 6 ft. (1,8 m). It is recommended
the receptacle placed on the left side of the refrigerator
(viewed from the rear) and approximately 4-6 inches (100-
150 mm) from the oor. This will allow easy accessibility
through the vent door.
230-240 Volt AC
receptacle
4 - 6”
(100-
150 mm)
230-240 V supplies
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same
as the main voltage in use (230-240 V). Plug the 230-240 V
refrigerator power cord into an easily accessible wall socket.
Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they can-
not come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigera-
tor.
Exchange of supply cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
12 Volts DC Supplies
The connection is made to the terminal block marked
“12 volts DC” located at the bottom left corner on the back of
the refrigerator.
To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of the con-
necting wires between battery and refrigerator must be at
least 6 mm
2
.
To ensure safe operation, the positive lead must be tted with
a fuse rated at 20 amps.
Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the
12 V DC supply.
Note! Do not use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a sub-
stitute for either of the two conductors. Electrical leads must
be routed and secured so that they cannot come into contact
with hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator.
Do not connect any other electrical equipment or lighting to
the refrigerator circuit.
