Introduction You have made an excellent choice in selecting the Dometic Absorption Refrigerator. We are sure that you will be fully satisfied with your new appliance in all respects. The appli- ance, which works silently, meets high quality standards and guarantees the efficient utilisation of resources and energy throughout its entire life cycle, during manufacture, in use and when being disposed of.
The warranty does not cover any modifica- tions to the appliance or the use of non-original Dometic parts; the warranty does not apply if the installation and operating instructions are not adhered to and no liability shall be entertained.
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 venti lated. The refrigerator will take several hours to reach its operating temperature in the cooling compartment.
5.2.2 Electrical operation 1. 12V - operation (DC) The refrigerator should only be used while the motor is running, CAUTION otherwise the on-board-battery would be discharged within a few hours! 1. Set energy selector switch 2. Use rotary switch (2) to regulate the (1) to 12V .
(e.g. air in the gas pipe). 5. Briefly switch the refrigerator off and then on again using main switch (A). To remove air from the gas pipes, repeat this procedure 3-4 times. If these actions do not help, please call an authorised Dometic Service Centre.

5.2.5 AUTO”-operation RM7XX5 L - models are equipped with an “AUTO”-MATIC function. Set energy selection switch (A) to position “AUTO” . The LED "AUTO" illuminates Manual operation is possible at any time. Explanations: Upon switching on, the electronics automatically select one of the three possible energy types: 230V - 12V - liquid gas.
Please select the medium setting for ambient temperatures between +15°C and +25°C. The unit operates within its optimum performance range.. Dometic refrigerators work according to the absorption principle. Due to physical reasons, an absorption system responds slowly to changes made on the thermostat controller, or a loss in cooling through opening the door, or storing food.
5.3.2 Freezer compartment Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer. The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term storage of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods. When ambient temperatures are lower than +10°C an even regulation of freezer temperature cannot be guaranteed, if the refrigerator is exposed to these tem- peratures for a long period of time.
Door locking open close Always shut and lock the refrigerator before you start your journey. Switching off park position 1. Set energy selector switch (A) 2. Secure the door open by means of the door to position "0" (OFF). The appliance stop.

25 mm! If the door/grille distance is between 25mm and 45 mm, we recommend installing a Dometic ventilation kit ( spare part no. 241 2985 - 00/0 ) to achieve an optimal cooling per- formance in high ambient temperatures.
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.
Draught free installation Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other vehicles must be installed in a draftproof manner (EN 1949). This means that the combustion air for the burner is not taken from the living area and that exhaust fumes are prevented from entering the living area .
The ventilation grilles must have an open cross-section of at least 250cm². This is reached using the Dometic Absorber Ventilation and Air Extraction System LS 100 / LS 200 that has been tested and approved for this purpose.
Installing the ventilation system LS 200 LS 100 Cut two rectangles with the size a = 451 mm x b = 156 mm in the vehicle exterior wall for the installation of the ventilation grille (see point 6.3). 451 mm / LS 100 156 mm / 6.14"...
Installation recess The refrigerator must be installed draught-free in a recess (see point “6.2”). 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.
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.
6.7.2 Separate fume extraction ( special accessories ) min. 10 mm max. 20 mm Cutout: 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 particu- lar model of refrigerator and installation conditions.

The gas connection to the appliance is effected by means of a suitable coupling tube fitting L8, DIN 2353-ST, complying with EN 1949 (e. g. Ermeto). WARNING 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 EN 1949 .
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced by the Customer Service at Dometic, or by respectively qualified personnel, in order to prevent any hazards. It is advisable to run the incoming supply through an on-board fuse or automatic circuit breaker.
