This product is designed to be operated by adults. Children
should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the
product.
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be
carried out by a qualified electrician.
This product should be serviced by an authorised Service
Engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in
any way.
Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand
on the electrical supply cable.
These refrigerators are designed to be used specifically for the
storage of edible foodstuffs only.
There are workings parts in this product which heat up. Always
ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will
result in component failure and possible food loss. See
installation instruction.
Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible
the back of the product should be close to a wall but leaving the
required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation
instructions.
Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be
sure to switch off the appliance and unplug it.
The ice box in this appliance contains tubes through which the
refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this would cause
substantial damage and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP
INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under no
circumstances should solid ice be forced off the ice box. Solid ice
should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See
defrost instructions.
1. INTRODUCTION
Before starting to install the refrigerator, please read these
instructions carefully in order to obtain a thorough understanding of
what is required.
When operating, heat is emitted from parts of the cooling unit at the
rear and this has to be carried away by air circulating freely over the
back of the refrigerator. To ensure sufficient air circulation for
satisfactory operation. It is essential that the clearances called
for in these instructions are not reduced in any way otherwise
cooling performance will be impaired. Providing the refrigerator is
installed in accordance with these instructions, it should operate
satisfactorily in ambient temperatures up to 32°C (90°F), with some
measure of cooling up to about 35°C (95°F).
It is recommended that the refrigerator is installed by the caravan
manufacturer, the supplier or another qualified person Owners who
are competent to carry out the work themselves can do so, but, for
the sake of safety, they must take particular care in making the gas
connections, checking for leaks, and installing the electrical wiring
and fittings. All relevant regulations concerning such installations
must be complied with.
Many caravans are already provided with a recess, usually in the
form of a cupboard which has been specially designed so that it can
be adapted, by removal of its door and shelves, to house a
refrigerator. Some caravan manufacturers have also devosed kits of
parts to aid installation of refrigerators in their particular caravans.
A ventilator for fitting above the door as shown in fig. 4 is supplied
with the refrigerator. The connection pipe, gas cock, and connectors
are not supplied as the sizes of these may vary to suit particular
installations. The appropriate parts should, however, be readily
available from the refrigerator supplier or an Agent dealing in gas
fittings 9see note in item 11).
The refrigerator weighs approximately 14,5 kg (321b) and the surface
on which it is installed must be capable of carrying this weight, plus
that of the food, satisfactorily.
All surfaces above and adjacent to the flue outlet, and beside
and below the burner housing should be of, or covered with,
metal or other non-flammable material.
The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation
before it is turned on in order to allow refrigerant to settle,
unless it is of the absorption type in which case it can be
turned on immediately.
This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving
it.
Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the
freezer.
Frozen food must not be refrozen once it has thawed out.
Manufacturers' food storage recommendations should be
strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it
creates pressure on the container which may cause it to
explode resulting in damage to the appliance.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the
appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced
persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning.
Refer to your local Service Centre and always insist on
genuine spare parts.
GENERAL GUIDE TO FITTING ANY PLUG
Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared
correctly.
Connections should be firmly made after all conductor strands
are entered into the terminal posts.
When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the
outer sheath, or the insulation surrounding the inner
conductors.
Tighten all screws.
Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
IMPORTANT: On motorised vehicles, the refrigerator must be
installed well away from fuel tanks, fuel filling inlets, pipes leading
from inlets to fuel tanks, and fuel tank breathers.
WARNING:
Because of the hazards associated with the use of continuous
operating bottled-gas appliances with open-flame burners in
difficult-to-ventilate confined spaces, and other considerations,
Dometic RT do not recommend the installation of their bottled-gas
caravan refrigerators on boats, and refrigerators so installed will
not be covered by the Company's guarantee.
If, however, a boat installation is planned for the refrigerator,
reference should be made to British Standard 5482 Part 3, 1979
and to the Thames Water Authority "Launch Digest" and "Launch
Specification".
Also, current Guide Lines published by local Water Authorities, or
the Ship and Boat Builders' National Federation.
It should be noted that special Marine Refrigerators are available
from Electrolux for use on boats.
2. VENTILATION
The refrigerator will always be built into a recess but to enable the
unit to operate efficiently, it is essential that air is allowed to
circulate freely over the cooling unit at the back to carry away the
heat generated during the cooling process 9see fig. 10. The
minimum free spaces called for under, behind and over the
cabinet must not, therefore, be reduced in any way. The more
space provided, particulary behind and over the cabinet, the
better the performance you can expect from the cooling unit.
IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
It most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or
transferred to another owner, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with
the functionning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.
