You have made an excellent choice in selecting

the Dometic Absorption Refrigerator. We are

sure that you will be satisfied with your new

appliance in all respects. The silently working

appliance meets high quality standards and

guarantees the efficient use of resources and

energy throughout its entire life cycle, during

manufacture, in operation and when being dis-

posed of.

This refrigerator is designed for installation in

recreation vehicles such as caravans or motor-

homes. The appliance has been type-examina-

tion tested for this application in accordance with

the EU Gas Appliance Directive.

Before you start using the refrigerator, plea-

se read the operating instructions carefully.

2.1 Warning and safety notices

 Work on gas equipment, exhaust system

and electrical facilities must be carried out

by qualified personnel only.

 It is imperative that the operating pressure cor

responds to the data specified on the rating

plate of the appliance. Compare the operating

pressure of the rating plate with the data spe-

cified on the pressure reducing valve of the

liquid gas cylinder.

 Operating the appliance on gas is not permitted

while travelling on ferries or standing at fuelling

stations.

 Do not operate the appliance on gas while

transporting the caravan or motorhome with a

transport or tow vehicle.

 The appliance must not be exposed to rain.

 The refrigerator is not suitable for the pro-

per storage of medication.

2.2 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

unpleasant odour), proceed as follows:

- Switch off the appliance.

- Air the room thoroughly.

- Inform authorised customer services.

 Never use an unshielded flame to

check gas bearing parts and

pipes for leakage!

 Protect children!

When disposing of the refrigerator, detach all

refrigerator doors and leave the storage racks

in the refrigerator. This will prevent accidental

locking.

 If you smell gas:

- Close the shut-off valve of the gas supply

and the valve of the cylinder.

- Open the windows and leave the room.

- Do not switch on any electrical appliances.

- Extinguish unshielded flames.

- Inform customer services.

 Never open the cooling unit! It is under

high pressure.
