INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS REFRIGERATOR FOR LP-GAS AND ELECTRIC OPERATION RA/RM-1D RA/RM-2D AES III FOR YOUR SAFETY If you smell gas: 1. Open windows and door. 2. Don’t touch electrical switches. 3. Extinguish any open flame. 4. Immediately call your gas supplier. RM2355 FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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. To put the refrigerator in operation, just trip the main switch - AES manages the rest. CONTROL panel . . .

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.
Defrosting Replacing the bulb Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. Each time the door is opened some of the cold air in the refrigerator spills out and is replaced by warm moist room air. As this air is cooled, the moisture is deposited onto the evaporator coils or other cold surfaces inside the refrigerator and can cause frost build-up. It is important that you do not leave the unit’s door open any longer than necessary.
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 RM2355 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. RM2355, RM2455 and RM2555: One terminal is marked “Connect to permanent 12 Volt DC house battery” and the other “Connect to Vehicle 12 Volt DC battery”, see Fig. 19. RM4605 and RM4805: One terminal is marked “12V DC House” and the other “12V DC Vehicle”, see Fig. 20. Before leaving, the installer should: • Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water.
mounting instructions Cross-sections The wires connected to this terminal must have the following minimum cross section area: REPOSITIONING THE HINGES • RM2355/RM2455/RM2555 The refrigerator is equipped with reversible doors. A special door reversing kit must be used to reverse the doors. This kit is delivered with RM2355 but must be bought separately for RM2455 and RM2555 (part number 2932750-13/2) as well as for RM4605 and RM4805 (part number 2932750-11 (black) and 2932750-08 (brown)).
