OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR RM 2355, RM 2455, RM 2555, RM 4605 & Rm 4805 INTRODUCTION contents We are pleased that you have chosen this refrigerator and hope you will derive much satisfaction from using it. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS________________________ 4 The refrigerator is designed for installation in motorhomes and intended for storage of foods, frozen foods and making ice. It comes with Automatic Energy Selector (AES) which controls operation and energy supply.

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE Gas troubleshooting If the Warning indicator lamp (F) is lit, there has been a failure of gas operation. To troubleshoot, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF (1) to “OFF”.) 2. The position number refers to Fig.1. It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in advance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled foodstuffs.
RM 2555 4. 5. Replace the cover. RM 4605 RM 4805 To have the heating cable on, you position the switch located beneath the control panel to I, see Fig. 2. The heating cable can be left on continuously or only used when temperatures require it. CLIMATECONTROL SWITCH Fig. 2 The heating cable will draw 12V DC power continuously when in the ON (I) position. It should be turned off when a charging source is not available.
Product care - some useful hints MAINTENANCE Make sure that: • Defrosting is carried out periodically. • The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left open when it is not to be used for some time. • Liquids or items with a strong odour are well packed. • The ventilation openings are unobstructed. • The doors are secured by means of the travel catch when the motorhome is on the move. • This appliance must be serviced by an authorised person.
Removal of flue gases Clearances The ventilation passage at the rear of the recess, between the outer wall of the vehicle and the refrigerator must be sealed off against the living space, so cold draughts are excluded (winter camping) and no flue gases can penetrate into the motorhome. Minimum clearances (mm) to combustible materials RM 2355 The flue gases are dispersed from the ventilation passage using the Dometic flueing system.

BUILDING-IN Securing the refrigerator The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat from hot objects. Excessive heat irradiation impairs performance and leads to increased energy consumption. For this reason the refrigerator should be installed if possible not at the entrance side of the vehicle - normally orientated south and often with an awning which would impair the dispersion of heat and combustion gases from the ventilation openings.
Drain water hose b) Once the lower front strip is slipped under the hinge, the part is possible to swing into place as shown in Fig. 13. A hole must be drilled through flooring see Fig. 16 / 17. The installer has to make sure that the hose does not kink when run through the floor. Seal around the hose that goes through the drilled hole. 3 Fig. 13 c) 2. Fig.
12V and “D+” Connection The refrigerator is equipped with two terminals intended for connection to 12 volt. One is marked “Connect to permanent 12 Volt DC house battery”and the other is marked “Connect to Vehicle 12 Volt DC battery”, see Fig. 19. Before leaving, the installer should: • Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks! • Ignite the burner to ensure correct operation of gas valve, burner and ignition.
Mounting the door panel connection marked “Connect to permanent 12 volt DC House Battery”. Door panels are not supplied with the refrigerators and must be supplied by the manufacturer. This enables the manufacturer to match the door panel with the rest of the cabinetry inside the motor home or caravan.
With screws (see Fig. 20 and Fig. 22) With screws To mount the door panel, follow these steps: RM 2455 1. Open the door 90 degrees. 2. On new refrigerators, the decoration strip is taped inside the door; if installed on the door, remove the door decoration strip (2) by removing its three screws (1). RM 2555 RM 4605 . Remove the old panel. 4. Insert the new panel by inserting the vertical edges into the grooves of the door frame (3).
