General 1.0 General 1.1 1.4 Introduction 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. 1.2 Explanation of symbols used in this manual Warning notices Warning notices are identified by symbols. A supplementary text gives you an explanation of the degree of danger. Observe these warning notices rigorously.
General Information 1.6 Limitation of liability All information and guidance in these operating instructions were prepared after taking into consideration the applicable standards and regulations as well as the current state of the art. Dometic reserves the right to make changes at any time which are deemed to be in the interest of improving the product and safety.
Safety instructions 2.0 Safety instructions 2.1 Application according to regulations DANGER! Never use an unshielded flame to check gas bearing parts and pipes for leakage! This appliance is designed for storage of food and storage of frozen food and making ice. The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle. There is a danger of fire or explosion.. The refrigerator is to be used solely for storing foodstuffs.
Description of model 3.0 Description of model 3.1 3.2 Model identification Example : RM D Refrigerator rating plate The rating plate is to be found on the inside of the refrigerator. It contains all important details of the refrigerator. You can read off from this the model identification, the product number and the serial number. You will need these details whenever you contact the customer service centre or when ordering spare parts.

Installation 4.0 Installation instructions 4.1 Installation 4.1.1 Side installation If the appliance is installed on the same side of the vehicle as the entrance door, it is desirable that the door does not cover the refrigerator's vents. (Fig. 3, Clearance door/ventilation grille at least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be impaired which causes a loss in cooling performance. Awnings are often placed at the door side of a caravan.
Installation 4.1.2 Draught-proof installation pe through the upper ventilation grille to the outside. Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other vehicles must be installed in a draughtproof manner . This means that the combustion air for the burner is not taken from the living space and that exhaust fumes are prevented from entering the living space. Proposal 2 The lip seals (1) are installed at the bottom and on each side in the installation recess (Fig. 68).
Installation 4.2 Should this arrangement prove impossible, a ventilation aperture must be introduced by the manufacturer of the vehicle into the recess floor in order to avoid the accumulation of unburnt gas on the floor. Ventilation 4.2.1 Ventilation and air extraction of the refrigerator A correct installation of the refrigerator is essential for its correct operation, as due to physical reasons heat builds up at the back of the appliance which must be allowed to escape into the open air. 4.2.
Installation Installation of lower and upper ventilation grilles LS300. 4.3 Installing the ventilation system 4.3.1 Installation LS300 or L500 (NZ) Minimum height of ventilation To install the ventilation grilles cut two rectangles to suit in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the cuts, see Fig. 13). 1 LS300 L500 b Cut two rectangles in the exterior wall of the vehia cle. H Fig.
Installation 4.4 Exhaust duct system The exhaust gas duct system must be made in such a manner as to achieve a complete extraction of combustion products to the outside of living space. The flue gas is vented directly through the upper grille. Do not use any kind of aluminium flue pipe to lead the flue gas out. The T-piece (Fig. 20) must be aligned with the exterior wall. Please be aware that the L 500 vent grille is equipped with locking screws instead of sliders. 4.3.
Installation 4.5 Installation recess 4.6 The refrigerator must be installed draughtproof in a recess . The floor of the recess must be level, allowing the appliance to be pushed easily into its correct position. The floor must be substantial enough to bear the weight of the appliance. Securing the refrigerator In the sidewalls of the refrigerator, there are four plastic sleeves for securing the refrigerator.
Installation 4.7 Frameless decor panel Insert the decor panel Decor panel with frame Remove the lateral ledge (1) from the door (ledge is attached, not screwed). Shift decor panel (2) away from the door and insert the new decor panel. Re-attach ledge (1). 4 2 3 1 2 1 Fig. 26 1 Fig. 23 CAUTION!

Installation 4.8 correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area. Gas installation WARNING! The gas connection shall be carried out by specialised personnel* only. Gas connection * Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch for the correct installation and implementation of the leakage test.
Installation 4.9 4.9.2 Battery connection Electrical installation The machine's 12V connection cable is connected (observing correct polarity) to plug-incontacts (see Fig. xx). WARNING! The electrical installation shall be carried out by qualified personnel* only. Power supply to the electronics * Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch for the correct installation.
Installation 4.9.4 Cable connections 4.9.3 D+ and solar connection (only for AES models) D+ signal connection In >Automatic Mode< the AES electronic system automatically selects the most efficient energy supply. In automatic mode the electronic system uses the D+ signal (dynamo +) of the alternator to detect 12V DC. 12V DC operation is selected only while the engine is running in order to prevent battery discharge.
