Safety instructions
The cooling unit's performance is influencedby ambient temperatures. Please select themedium setting for ambient temperatures bet-ween +15°C and +25°C (refer to Setting ofcooling compartment temperature). The unitoperates within its optimum performancerange.Dometic refrigerators work according to theabsorption principle. For physical reasons, anabsorption system responds slowly tochanges made by the thermostat controller, byloss of cooling energy through opening thedoor or during storing food. The devices meetthe cooling performance requirements of theClimatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in thetemperature range of +10°C to +32°C ambienttemperature.
No refrigerator of any kind can improve thequality of the food; refrigerators can onlymaintain the food's quality for a short dura-tion as from the time of storing it.Please observe the following particularconditions for storing food in a refrigeratorthat is built into a vehicle:
� A change in the climatic conditions such astemperature fluctuations
� High temperatures inside the vehicle whenit is closed and parked in direct sunlight (temperatures are possible up to 50°C)
� Use of the refrigerator during travel with thepower supply of 12V DC
� A refrigerator built in behind a window andexposed to direct sunlight
� Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly after starting up the appliance for use
Under these particular conditions the refrige-rator cannot guarantee reaching the tempera-ture needed for perishables.
Perishables include all products with a stipula-ted use-by date and a minimum storage tem-perature 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 informati-on, 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 thefirst opportunity.
� Wash your hands before and after handlingany food.
� Regularly clean the inside of the refrigera-tor.
Please observe the instructions and informati-on regarding the use-by date on the outsidepackaging of the food.

Refrigerator operation
The refrigerator should only be used in12VDC-operation while the vehicle’s engi-ne is running, otherwise the on-board-bat-tery would be discharged within a fewhours!
CAUTION!
�
�
The gas burner must be inspected and cleaned as necessary at least once ayear. When using liquefied petroleumgas (tank or refill cylinders) the mainten-ance interval is reduced to half-yearly orquarterly.Keep the evidence of maintenance workcarried out on your refrigerator.
Work on gas and electrical equipmentshall be carried out by qualified person-nel only.
It is recommended that this is carried outby an authorised customer servicesdepartment.
We recommend maintenance following anextended shutdown of the vehicle. Pleasecontact our customer services.
The cooling unit is silent in operation.
When the appliance is first put into operation,there may be a mild odour which will disappe-ar after a few hours.
The refrigerator will take several hours to reachits operating temperature in the cooling com-partment. The freezer compartment should becold about one hour after switching on therefrigerator.
The refrigerator is equipped to operate onthree power modes:
� Mains voltage (230V AC)� Direct-current voltage (12V DC)� Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)
Select the desired power mode by the energyselector switch (battery igniter type models)or the energy selector button (MES, AES).Appliances with automatic energy selection(AES) are additionally provided with "automa-tic mode" function. Then the AES systemautomatically selects the best energy sourcefor each particular situation.
Mains power (230V)
This option should only be selected wherethe supply voltage of the connection forpower supply corresponds to the valuespecified on the data plate. Any differencein values may result in damage theappliance.

The refrigerator must be operated usingliquid gas (propane, butane) (no naturalgas or town gas).
When using LPG gas, please consider thatthe burner needs cleaning at shorter inter-vals due to the gas combustion method (2- 3 times per year recommended.
In Europe, gas operation is permitted whiletravelling only on the condition that the gassystem of the vehicle is equipped with ahose rupture protection. The national regu-lations of the respective country must beobserved.
For physical reasons, gas ignition faults could occur starting from an altitude abovesea level of approx. 3280 ft. / 1000 m (Nomalfunction!)
On the initial refrigerator start-up or after acylinder change, air may be trapped in thegas line. To purge the air from the lines,switch on the refrigerator and any othergas appliances (e.g. stove) for a short time.The gas ignites without delay.
Each refrigerator with manual ignition isequipped with an automatic flame safetyvalve which interrupts the gas supply auto-matically after approx. 30 seconds whenthe flame has extinguished.
Prior to starting the refrigerator in gas mode :
� Open the gas cylinder valve.
� Open the shut-off valve for gas supply to the refrigerator.
As a basic rule, gas operation is prohibi-ted in petrol stations!

Automatic operation :Press button (5) : A
Upon switching on, the electronics automati-cally selects one of the three possible energytypes: 240V - 12V - liquid gas. The controlelectronics automatically ensures that therefrigerator is supplied with the optimum sour-ce of energy in each respective case.
Sequence of priority: 1.) Solar (12V -)2.) 240V ~ 3.) 12V - 4.) Liquid gas
If sufficient mains voltage is available (morethan 195 V), this power source is selected asprime option. If a solar system capable ofpowering the refrigerator is installed, the solar12V supply takes priority.The 12V operation is otherwise only effectivewhile the engine is running.
According to the sequence of priority the elec-tronics selects GAS as energy source only, ifboth of the electrical energy source are notavailable.
Manual operation is possible at any time.

4.15 Storing food and making ice cubes
� Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hoursbefore filling it.
� Always store pre-cooled foods in the refri-gerator. Make sure that the food is well cooled when it is bought and also when transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
� Open the refrigerator door only for a short period of time when removing products.
� Products must be packed - best of all in closed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or similar - and stored separately from each other, in order to prevent drying out orodours.
� Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool down before storing.
� Avoid storing products in the refrigerator that could emit volatile flammable gases.
� Do not overfill the storage grids and com-partments to prevent obstructing the inter-nal air circulation.
� Maintain a clearance of approx. 5 - 10 mmbetween chilled products and post-evapo-rator ("cooling fins").
� Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunlight. Please bear in mind that the tem-perature inside a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to sunlight and that thiscan reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
� Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unitis not obstructed. Keep the ventilation gril-les free from obstructions.
4.15.1 Storing products in the cooling compartment
4.15.3 Refrigerator compartments
4.15.2 Storing products in the freezer compartment
� Do not keep carbonated drinks in the free-zer.
� The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term storage of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.
When ambient temperatures are lower than+10°C and the refrigerator is exposed tothese temperatures for extended periods oftime, an even regulation of freezer tempe-rature cannot be guaranteed for system-related reasons. This can cause the tempe-rature in the freezer to rise and the storedgoods to melt.
