General
At an average ambient temperature of 77°F
(25°C), it is sufficient to operate the refrige-
rator at middle thermostat setting.
Where possible, always store precooled
products.
Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight or any other heat source (e.g. hea-
ter).
Ensure that air circulation of the refrigerati-
on unit is not obstructed.
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
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.
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
1.9 Environmental notices
1.9.1 Disposal
Do not overfill the storage grids and com-
partments to prevent obstructing the inter-
nal air circulation.
Maintain a clearance of approx. 0.4 inches
(10 mm) between chilled products and
post-evaporator ("cooling fins").
Defrosting at regular intervals saves energy
(see section "Defrosting").
Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours
before filling it.
Do not dispose of batteries in domestic waste.
Take your used batteries to your dealer or a
collection point.
Forced ventilation: To achieve a better air cir-
culation at high ambient temperatures, this
appliance is equipped with an additional fan.
