Information on Coolant

Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in
household cleaning agents (1 litre of Salmiak
cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia
- about twice as much as is used in the
refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for
corrosion protection (1.8% by weight of the
solvent).
In the event of leakage (easily identifiable
from the strong odour), proceed as follows:
• Switch off the appliance.
• Air the room thoroughly.
• Inform authorised customer services.
For your safety it was ascertained in
i
an expert's report that no impairment
of health exists when the coolant is
discharged.
Appliances with Electronics (MES/AES)
Car manufacturers often use a so-called
battery management system, which provides
the caravan with constant voltage in trailer
mode.
If the car and trailer remain parked for more
than 30 minutes with the engine switched off,
the battery management system automatically
switches off the permanent positive supply
to the caravan (to prevent the battery from
discharging). Fridges with control electronics
(MES/AES) are then inoperative.
Check whether your drawing vehicle is
equipped with a battery management system.
A permanent 12v power supply must be
guaranteed for operation of the MES/AES
fridges.
Operating the Refrigerator with Gas
It is imperative that the operating pressure
of the pressure reducer on the gas system
corresponds to the data specified on the
rating plate of the refrigerator. Compare the
operating pressure of the rating plate with the
data specified on the pressure reducing valve
of the liquid gas cylinder.
Dometic refrigerators are equipped for
i
a connection pressure of 30mbar.
