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.

Figure 5.

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.

10. Reversing the door hang (Fig. 7)

Lay the appliance on its back. Remove the 8

screws (1). Remove the door, together with the two

hinges (2), from the housing.

Remove the two cover caps (3) from the housing
