DEFROSTING
1. Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power
ON/OFF button (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 re-
move 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 with
a clean cloth and turn the refrigerator back on.
CLEANING
Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigerator
is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. Use
lukewarm weak soda solution to clean the interior liner of the
refrigerator. Use warm water only to clean the finned evapo-
rator, gasket, ice tray and shelves. Do not spray liquids near
electrical outlets, connections or the refrigerator components.
CAUTION
Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean
these parts, as the protective surfaces will be
damaged.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
To keep the refrigerator working properly, a quali-
fied service technician should, at least once a year,
inspect the connections, the control system, the LP
gas pressure and flue baffle.
!
If your refrigerator stops cooling, immediately turn
the refrigerator off and see a Dometic dealer.
To keep the refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, peri-
odic 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.
• Make sure the refrigerator area is free from combustible
material, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids.
• If accessible, clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator.
Use a soft bristled brush to dust off the coils.
STORAGE PROCEDURE /
WINTERIZING THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator is equipped with a heater tape wrapped
around the water solenoid valve and outlet water tube. During
cold weather operation below 32°F/0°C the automatic tem-
perature switch will turn the heater tape on automatically.
If the RV will not be in use for an extended period of time or
put into storage:
• Drain the RV water system.
• Disconnect the water lines from the inlet and outlet sides
of the water valve. Drain the lines into a cup and allow the
lines to dry.
• The ice maker should be drained and dried, see
ING THE ICE MAKER
performed by a qualified service technician.
• Using a lukewarm soda solution, clean the interior liner of
the refrigerator. Clean the finned evaporator, ice trays and
shelves. Use warm water only and never strong chemicals
or abrasives since these can damage the protective surfaces.
• Leave the doors ajar.
