The connections must be clean, tight and free from corrosion.
If not, a resulting voltage drop will cause a decreased cooling
capacity.
Note! Do NOT operate the refrigerator on 12 V when the ve-
hicle is parked. The amperage draw of the 12 V DC heating
element can discharge a battery in a very short time.
The installation of a 12 V DC operated refrigerator requires a
relay to be installed on the tow vehicle or in the caravan. The
relay will automatically shut off the 12 V DC power to the
refrigerator when the ignition is turned off.

If the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact your local
Dometic Service provider.

it is advisable to mount the panel before the refrigerator is
installed in the enclosure.
Before starting the mounting work, read this instruction thor-
oughly and check that the panel dimensions are in compli-
ance with those given in the following table:

grooves on the vertical edges of the door sliding
downwards until the panel fits into the lower door
edge.
3. Replace the top cover strip and fasten with screws.
REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL
