General
In order to ensure that the recyclable packa-
ging materials are re-used, they should be
sent to the customary local collection system.
The appliance should be transferred to a suit-
able waste disposal company that will ensure
re-use of the recyclable components and pro-
per disposal of the rest. For eco-friendly drai-
ning of the coolant from all absorber refrigera-
tion units, a suitable disposal plant should be
used.
1.9.1 Disposal
Refrigerators manufactured by Dometic are
free of CFC/HCFC and HFC. Ammonia (a
natural compound of hydrogen and nitrogen)
is used in the cooling unit as a coolant. Non-
ozone-hazardous cyclopentane is used as a
propellant for manufacturing PU foam insulati-
on.
1.9 Environmental notices
Do not dispose of batteries in domestic waste.
Take your used batteries to your dealer or a
collection point.
n At an average ambient temperature of
25°C, it is sufficient to operate the refrigera-
tor at middle thermostat setting.
n Where possible, always store precooled
products.
n Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight or any other heat source (e.g. hea-
ter).
n Ensure that air circulation of the refrigerati-
on unit is not obstructed.
n Arrange the shelves evenly in the refrigera-
tor (in the cooling compartment) in order to
achieve the most efficient use of energy.
1.9.2 Energy-saving-tips
n Do not overfill the storage grids and com-
partments to prevent obstructing the inter-
nal air circulation.
n Maintain a clearance of approx. 10 mm bet-
ween chilled products and post-evaporator
("cooling fins").
n Defrosting at regular intervals saves energy
(see section "Defrosting").
n Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
n Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours
before filling it.
