DATA PLATE INSTALLATION Check the data plate, inside the refrigerator, to ensure that you have received the right model. GENERAL INSTRUCTION This appliance is designed for storage off foods and storage of frozen foods and making ice. This appliance must be installed by an authorised person and conform to all relevant local authorities.
INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN ENCLOSURE NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance. NOTE: A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be anchored to the wood strip with screws. See FIG. 3 page 3. The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level.
! WARNING DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks. 2 FIG. 7 1 Replace the top decoration panel. Make sure the tabs snap back into the holes in the hinge plate. STEP 3: Two screws installed in the rear base. See FIG. 8. The gas supply system must incorporate an approved gas pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of 2,75 kPa .
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 230-240 Volts AC Connection The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regulations and codes of practice. Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as the mains voltage in use (230-240V). DO NOT use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the conductors. Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route to the 12 V DC supply. The refrigerator will draw 15 amps at 12 volt DC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A E D C B OFF AC OFF ON FUEL SELECTOR FLAME PUSH WHEN LIGHTING IMPORTANCE OF LEVELING A REFRIGERATOR In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.
The thermostat can be adjusted between “MAX” and “OFF” to obtain the desired cabinet temperature. The closer the knob is to “MAX” - the colder the cabinet temperature. The closer the knob is to “OFF” - the warmer the cabinet temperature. When the thermostat reaches the set temperature, it will cut the burner back to bypass or, in electric operation, (230-240 V AC) shut off the heating element.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing strips are properly positioned. Replacement is the reverse of removal. Check all connections for gas leaks. Refer to section INSTALLATION, page 2 to 6. The user should be aware of service that must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly. The service should only be performed by a qualified technician who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerators. 3. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 1.
D. Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably clean and free of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning of the burner. The flue and burner both require cleaning in the following manner: 1. Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230-240 volt AC outlet. (See FIG. 9). 2. Disconnect or shut off the 12 volt DC power to the refrigerator. 3. Turn manual shutoff valve to OFF. (See FIG. 1 & 10). 4. Remove cover from the burner housing. (See FIG. 1). 5.
CHANGING DOOR HINGES FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER The refrigerator is equipped with a reversible door. A special door reversing kit must be used to reverse the door. For further information, please contact your dealer or Dometic. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING THE DOOR PANEL The refrigerator is normally delivered with door panel. Before starting the mounting work, check that the panel dimensions are in compliance with those given in the table and the instructions are read thoroughly.
