Note: Refrigerators manufactured by
Dometic GmbH are free of CFC/HCFC
and HFC. Ammonia (a natural compound
of hydrogen and nitrogen) is used in the
cooling unit as a coolant. Non-ozone-
hazardous cyclopentane is used as a
propellant for manufacturing PU foam
insulation.
In order to ensure that the recyclable
packaging materials are re-used, they
should be sent to the customary local
collection system.
The appliance should be transferred to a
suitable waste disposal company that will
ensure re-use of the recyclable components
and proper disposal of the rest. For
eco-friendly draining of the coolant from
all absorber refrigeration units, a suitable
disposal plant should be used.
Energy-saving tips
• At an average ambient temperature of 25°C,
it is sufficient to operate the refrigerator at
middle thermostat setting.
• Where possible, always store precooled
products.
• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight.
• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed.
• Defrosting at regular intervals saves energy
(see "Defrosting"). Open the refrigerator
door only for a short period of time when
removing products.
• Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours
before filling it.
