GENERAL INFORMATION
B.
Reduce Heat Gain
The ability of this air conditioner to maintain the desired inside temperature depends on the heat
gain of the RV.
Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain and
improve the performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the
heat gain of the RV may be reduced by:
●
Parking the RV in a shaded area
●
Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains)
●
Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing usage
●
Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances
Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum or maximum efficiency in high humidity or
high outside temperatures.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving it a "head start" on the expected high
outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor temperature.
For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accessories like Dometic outdoor patio and win-
dow awnings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy
company during the cool of the evening.

Disclaimer
The manufacturer of this unit will not be responsible for damage caused by condensation forming
on ceilings, windows, or other surfaces. Air contains water vapor which condenses when tempera-
ture of a surface is below Dew point. During normal operation this unit is designed to remove a
certain amount of moisture from the air, depending on the size of the space being conditioned.
Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner is in operation will greatly reduce the
chance of condensation forming on interior surfaces.
MAINTENANCE
A.
Thermostat
1. Clean the CT thermostat with a dry soft cloth.
Do NOT spray water directly on CT thermostat. Do NOT use solvents for cleaning.
If a moist soft cloth is needed to clean the CT thermostat surface, the sensors may be-
come unresponsive. If this happens, it will be necessary to allow the water enough time
to evaporate for sensors to regain responsiveness.
B.
Air Filter
1. Periodically (a minimum of every 2 weeks of operation) remove the air filter located behind the
return air grille and wash it with soap and water, let dry and then reinstall.
N EVER run unit without return air filter in place. This will plug the unit evaporator coil with
dirt and may substantially degrade the performance of the unit over time.
