Safety Instructions When Storing Foodstuffs - Dometic RMD 8501 Operating Instructions Manual

2.8 Safety instructions when
storing foodstuffs
No refrigerator of any kind can improve the
quality of the food; refrigerators can only
maintain the food's quality for a short dura-
tion as from the time of storing it.
Please observe the following particular
conditions for storing food in a refrigerator
that is built into a vehicle:
n
A change in the climatic conditions such as
temperature fluctuations
n
High temperatures inside the vehicle when
it is closed and parked in direct sunlight
(temperatures are possible up to 50°C)
n
A refrigerator built in behind a window and
exposed to direct sunlight
n
Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly
after starting up the appliance for use
n
Use of the refrigerator during travel with the
power supply of 12V DC
n
Fluctuations in the power supply at the par-
king place when using the energy type
230V AC (mains voltage).

Under these particular conditions the refrige-
rator cannot guarantee reaching the tempera-
ture needed for perishables.
Perishables include all products with a stipula-
ted use-by date and a minimum storage tem-
perature of +4°C or less, especially for meat,
poultry, fish, sausages, pre-packed foods.
Storing foodstuffs:
n
Pack raw and cooked foods separately

(e.g. in containers, aluminium foil, etc.).
n
Only remove the outside packaging of sin-
gle packs if all the necessary information,
e.g. the use-by date, can also be read on
the single packs.
n
Please observe the instructions and infor-
mation regarding the use-by date on the
outside packaging of the food.
n
Do not leave cooled goods outside the
refrigerator for too long.
n
Place the foods with the next use-by date
at the front, accordingly.
n
Pack away any left-over food and eat at the
first opportunity.
n
Wash your hands before and after handling
any food.
n
Regularly clean the inside of the refrigera-
tor.
Please observe section Cleaning of this
instruction.
The cooling unit's performance is influenced
by ambient temperatures. Please select the
medium setting for ambient temperatures bet-
ween +15°C and +25°C (refer to Setting of
cooling compartment temperature ). The unit
operates within its optimum performance
range. Dometic refrigerators work according
to the absorption principle. For physical rea-
sons, an absorption system responds slowly
to changes made by the thermostat controller,
by loss of cooling energy through opening the
door or during storing food. The devices meet
the cooling performance requirements of the
Climatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in the
temperature range of +10°C to +32°C ambient
temperature.
Cold air can restrict the performance of the
unit. Install the winter covers if you disco-
ver any loss of cooling performance when

For ambient temperatures exceeding +32°C
for a longer period of time, it is recommen-
ded installing Dometic additional fan (item
no. 241 2985 - 01).
