OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOMETIC REFRIGERATORS TYPE: A30-80K MODEL RM 123E (Bottled Gas and 12/230 Volt Operation) MODEL RM 122F (Bottled G 12 Volt Operation) AS AND 207.4495.02 0402...
To ensure sufficient air circulation for Dometic RT do not recommend the installation of their bottled-gas satisfactory operation. It is essential that the clearances called caravan refrigerators on boats, and refrigerators so installed will for in these instructions are not reduced in any way otherwise not be covered by the Company's guarantee.
ventilator located at top rear. ventilator located at top front Arrows indicate air-flow to ventilate cooling unit at rear Fig. 1 3. IMPORTANCE OF LEVELLING 7. BUILDING-IN The downward circulation of refrigerant within the cooling unit is by While the refrigerator is built-in, adequate space must be left gravity and the refrigerator has to be reasonably level, when it is under, over and behind it to allow a sufficient circulation of air over stationary, for the cooling unit to operate properly.

Fig. 8 When the opening has been made in the caravan wall, the extension tube (F) may need to be shortened to suit the particular installation. To determine if this is necessary, fit the flue top (G) to the top of the central tube of the boiler casing and secure it by means of the screw (H).
A suitable size switch or plug and socket should be fitted in a Burner housing convenient position in the wiring in the caravan so that the refrigerator can be readily disconnected from the 12V supply when 12V operation is not required, see fig. 12a. To prevent undue voltage drop (which would impair the performance of the cooling unit) the wiring for the 12V refrigerator supply should be connected directly to the terminals of the main...
After the refrigerator has been connected, all accessible connectons should be checked for soundness by applying a soap/water solution over them and watching for bubbles with, of course, the bas-bottle and any gas cocks in the line, turned on. DO NOT USE A FLAME. Thereafter, all connections should be checked periodically, in the same way, to ensure that they have not loosened in use.
In a caravan on tow, the usual continuous rolling and pitching motion, Lighting the Burner even on long hill climbs, will not normally cause the operation of the 1. Ensure that gas is available from the bottle and turn on any cooling unit to be affected unduly, but when the caravan is at rest for taps in the supply line to the refrigerator.
17. Electric Operation (230V a.c.) Model RM123 only. It is preferable to start the refrigerator with the control knob set at the Maximum flame position (No 3). After an hour or so, it may be IMPORTANT: Before connecting any mains voltage electricity supply turned to the Medium (No 2) or Minimum (No 1) positions, to to a caravan, always make certain that the supply has an effective provide the cooling required under the prevailing conditions.
22. DEFROSTING If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because: 1. The ventilation is inadequate owing to objects such as wire Frost will gradually form on and under the ice-tray shelf. It is a mesh or winter covers blocking the ventilation passages. mistake to assume that an accumulation of frost gives a colder cabinet.
