Operation During Low Outside Temperatures; Installing The Winter Cover - Dometic RMD 8501 Operating Instructions Manual

Refrigerator operation
Note: Water thawing in the main compartment
of the refrigerator runs into an appropriate
container at the back of the refrigerator. From
there, the water evaporates. Place a cloth in
the freezer compartment and in the cooling
compartment to collect excess water before
defrosting.
CAUTION!
The layer of ice must never be removed
forcibly, nor may defrosting be accelera-
ted using a heat source!
4.16 Operation during low
outside temperatures
Check in regular intervals that the ventilation
openings (1)(2) have not been blocked by
snow, leaves, etc. .
Cold air can restrict the performance of the
unit. Install the winter covers (3) if you disco-
ver any loss of cooling performance when out-
door temperatures are low. This protects the
unit against excessively cold air.
