Product Care - Dometic RM2620 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

DEFROSTING
1. Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power
ON/OFF button to the OFF position.
2. Empty the refrigerator.
3. Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open and place
the drip tray under the finned evaporator.
Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice
trays with hot water and placing them in the freezer
compartment.
! CAUTION
Do not use:
• A knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to
remove frost from the freezer shelves. It can
create a leak in the ammonia system.
• A hot air blower. Permanent damage could result
from warping the metal or plastic parts.
4. When all the frost has melted, dry the interior of the
refrigerator with a clean cloth.
5. Replace the food. Set the thermostat to the coldest
setting for a few hours. Then, reset the thermostat to
the desired setting, usually at mid setting.

CLEANING
It is important to always keep refrigerator clean. Cleaning the
refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into stor-
age. To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm
weak soda solution. Use warm water only to clean the finned
evaporator, gasket, ice tray and shelves.
NOTE! Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these
parts, as the protective surfaces will be damaged. Do not spray
liquids near electrical outlets, connections or the refrigerator
components.
In order to keep the refrigerator operating efficiently and safely,
periodic inspection and cleaning of several components once or
twice a year is recommended:
• Check the lower vent, upper vent and area between these
openings for any obstructions such as bird/insect nests,
spider webs, etc.
• Clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft
bristled brush to dust off the coils.
• Check to make sure that the refrigerator area is free from
combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors
or liquids.
