Ice-Making; Useful Suggestions; Defrosting, Cleaning And Maintenance - Dometic RC 1200 EGP Operating Instructions Manual

6. Ice-making

Fill the ice-tray with drinking water to within 4/5 from the top and cover with lid. Wipe off any drops of water
which may be on the tray and lid to prevent freezing together and place in the cooler on the refrigerating unit.
Ice will be made more quickly when the thermostat knob (for electric operation) or regulating knob (for liquid
gas operation) is set to MAX for a short time. (When ice has formed, do not forget to return the knob to its
normal setting.)
To remove the ice, allow the ice-tray to defrost slightly for a while or run it under tap water at normal
temperature before removing the lid from the tray. The ice cubes can now be removed easily from the tray.

7. Useful suggestions

When setting out on a trip, run the appliance on 230 V (in thermostat setting between "min" and "max") for
24 hours prior to departure. Place food in a precooled condition into the appliance.
Frost forms on the evaporator panel when in operation. When opening the lid or putting in food, some of
this frost melts and collects in the form of water on the bottom of the appliance. Wipe the water off
occasionally using a sponge.
Avoid putting foods with fragile packaging (such as glass) into the cooling box. Movements and shaking of
the unit may cause these items to break.
Once the coolong box is in its permanent position, make sure foods do not come into contact with the
evaporator panel, as this can cause freezer-burn to the foods.

8. Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

For defrosting, always unplug the appliance from an electrical power source to avoid the risk of shock.
Make sure no other power source is connected (gas or 12V/24V). Remove food from the refrigeration unit and
leave the lid open. Depending on the temperature, frost melts in a short time from the evaporator panel, with
water collecting at the bottom of the appliance.
Wipe it off using a towel. Afterwards, clean the appliance by following the instructions in section 3.
Leave the lid ajar to prevent any odours from forming.
The appliance does not require any further maintenance.
