3.0 WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE Warranty arrangements are in accordance with EC Directive 44/1999/CE and the normal conditions applicable for the country concerned. For warranty or other servicing, please contact our Dometic Service department. Any damage due to improper use is not covered by the warranty.
5.2 Using the refrigerator The cooling unit is silent in operation. When the appliance is first put into operation, there may be a mild odour which will disappear after a few hours. Ensure the living area is well ventilated. The freezer compartment should be cold about one hour after switching on the refrigerator. The refrigerator will take several hours to reach its operating temperature. 5.2.
2. Mains power This option should only be selected where the supply voltage of the connection for power supply corresponds to the value specified on the data plate. Any difference in values may result in damage the appliance. 1. Set energy selector switch (A) to 230V. A 5.2.3 2. Use rotary switch (B) to regulate the temperature in the main refrigerator compartment. B Gas operation The refrigerator should only be operated using liquid gas (propane, butane). Do not use town gas or natural gas.
5.2.4 Temperature setting cooling compartment B As already shown, with rotary knob (B) the temperature in the cooling compartment can be regulated as necessary. middle position The cooling unit’s performance is influenced by ambient temperatures. At ambient temperatures of +15°C up to +25°C, set the knob B to the TIP middle position. The cooling unit works with optimal performance. Dometic refrigerators work according to the absorption principle.
5.4 Making ice cubes Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the refrigerator has less work to do and the unit has more reserves. 1. Fill the ice cube tray with drinking water. 2. Place the ice cube tray in the freezer compartment. Only use drinking water! 5.5 Defrosting As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins. When the layer of frost is about 3mm thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted. 1. Switch off the refrigerator, as described in Section 5.7 - "Switching off". 2.

6.0 INSTALLATION GUIDE On installation of the appliance, the technical and administrative regulations of the country in which the vehicle will first be used must be adhered to. Otherwise the refrigerator must be installed as described in these instructions. In some OEM applications it may not be possible for these instructions to be followed exactly.
6.1.2 Side installation with floor-roof ventilation It is also possible to perform ventilation of the refrigerator via an aperture in the floor and a roof ventilation (see fig. 3). A flue has to be provided between the top edge of the refrigerator and the roof ventilation which directs the hot air and the exhausts straight to the air vent in the roof. recommendation: roof ventilator R500 hot air The opening in the floor must have a cross section of at least 250cm². Protect the opening, e.g.
6.2 Draught-free installation The refrigerator must be sealed in accordance with EN 1949. Illustrated below are two typical approved methods of sealing. Do NOT use any easily inflammable materials (in particular silicone sealing agent or similar) for sealing! The device manufacturer's product liability and guarantee shall lapse if such materials are used. Proposal 1: Using the Installation Sealing Kit from Dometic (SP.No.
In this case, for gas operation, do not use the upper winter cover! If even with draught-free installation a fume chimney is desirable, you must incorporte the L100 ventilation and extraction system into the upper air vent opening. Installation of fume chimney: please refer to point 6.7. Deviations shall require the consent of the manufacturer. 6.
6.4 Installing the ventilation system L 200 L 100 To install the ventilation grilles, cut two rectangles (451mm x 156mm) in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the cuts, see point 6.3). Item 1 does not apply for installation framess with an integrated seal. 1. Seal the mounting frame, making it waterproof. 2. Insert the frame ... ... and screw into position. 3. Insert the ventilation grilles. 4. Lock the ventilation grilles. 5.
6.5 Installation recess The refrigerator must be installed draught-free in a recess. The measurements of the recess are given in the table below. Step (A) is only required for cabinets with a step. Push the appliance far enough into the recess until the front edge of the refrigerator casing is flush with the front of the recess. Allow a gap of 15-20 mm between the back wall of the recess and the refrigeration unit.
6.7 Fume extraction Fume extraction must be arranged in such a way as to provide complete extraction of all products of combustion to an area outside the living area. The flue system must slope in an upward direction in order to avoid a build-up of condensation. An installation that is not carried out by qualified persons causes a reduction in the cooling capacity and will jeopardize the manufacturer's guarantee. 6.7.1 Fitting the fume flue in the upper ventilation grille min. 10 mm max. 20 mm 4.
6.7.2 Separate fume extraction min. 10 mm max. 20 mm Cut: 80mm high 40mm wide 1. Cut an 80mm x 40mm rectangle in the outer wall of the caravan. The position of the cut must be appropriate to the particular model of refrigerator and installation conditions. 2. Connect T-piece (E) to adaptor (F) or flue pipe (K) as required and affix with screw (G). Ensure that heat distributor (H) is lodged in the correct position. 3. Insert flue pipe (C) through the aperture. 4. Connect flue pipe (C) to T-piece (E).
The gas connection to the appliance is effected by means of a suitable coupling tube fitting L8, DIN 2353-ST, complying with European Standard EN 1949 (e.g. Ermeto). The gas connection may only be carried out by a qualified personnel. Following proper installation, a testing for leakage and a flame test must be carried out by *qualified personnel in compliance with EN1949 .A certificate of testing must be issued.
6.9 Electrical installation Electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel. The connection cables must be laid in such a way that they do not come in contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges. The electrical installation must comply with national regulations (EN 60335-2-24 for Europe). It is advisable to run the incoming supply through an on-board fuse or automatic circuit breaker.
