5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug into a

properly earthed socket.

The cooling fins should show signs of cooling after

about 3 hours. The refrigerator needs about 6 hours

at normal ambient temperature to reach 6 °C in the

storage compartment.

5.1. Temperature regulation

The usual setting required is in the region of 2 to 3 on

the thermostat knob (Fig. 5), but this can vary with

conditions of load and installation. If it is found

necessary to alter the setting,the knob can be turned

to a higher number to produce a colder temperature,

or a lower number to produce a warmer temperature.

The effect of any adjustment can be checked by

means of the thermometer after leaving the

refrigerator operating for a further period to settle

down again.

5.2. Cooling unit control (CUC)

(Ser. No. starting with 634xxxxx or higher.)

The electronic checks the function after every

defrosting period (every 24 hours) by measuring the

evaporator temperature drop. If it registers a problem

the refrigerator will shut down and stops cooling. If this

happens you should check whether the refrigerator

has been overloaded, that the door was properly

closed, that the cooling unit ventilation is correct and

that the refrigerator is levelled. After checking, unplug

the refrigerator at least for 10 seconds and plug it in

again. This resets the unit and it will function again. If

no sign of cooling there is a problem with the cooling

unit and you should contact Dometic service.

6. ICE CUBES (If available)

Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place

the ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess

water to prevent the ice tray from freezing to the

surface.

To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the

thermostat to position 5 for a short while. Remember

to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes

are frozen.

To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under

running water. The ice cubes can now be taken out

easily.

7. Useful suggestion

Do not overfill the appliance. Put warm foods

and drinks in the appliance only when they have

cooled down to room temperature. It is advisable to

leave some space between the products in the

cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the

shelves are packed too tightly there may be

unacceptable temperature variations.

8. Defrosting, cleaning and

maintenance

Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces

and it must not be allowed to become too thick

since it acts as an insulator and interferes with the

cooling.

This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY

LOGIC system built into the appliance by switching

off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. The

frost will melt and the defrost water will run through

the drain tube from the drip channel into an

evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the

refrigerator. (Fig 6) The defrost water will evaporate

automatically into the circulating air and the vessel

will not need emptying manually.

If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat

knob to "0", disconnect the refrigerator from the

electricity supply and leave the cabinet door open.

After defrosting the cabinet interior should be

wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.

8.1. Automatic defrost function

(Ser. No. starting with 634xxxxx or higher)

The first defrosting phase commences 39 hours

after the start and lasts for two hours.

After this, the device operates for 22 hours at a

time, followed by a defrosting period of 2 hours.

9. Changing the lightbulb (If available)

If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out the plug

and proceed as follows:

Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the

lamp covering backwards. Replace the bulb and

push the covering back into place.

A new 10-watt bulb can be obtained at any service

shop.
