10.6.6 Refrigerator door locking mechanism

With some models, the refrigerator has a separate freezer compartment. The speci-

fications in this section correspondingly also apply to the door of the freezer com-

partment.

There are two positions for locking the refrigerator door in place:

z Closed refrigerator door during travel and when the refrigerator is in operation

z Slightly opened refrigerator door as a ventilation position when the refrigerator

is switched off

Dometic 8 series

Opening:

 Press the release button (Fig. 143,1) and open the refrigerator door.

Closing:

 Close the refrigerator door. The lock hook engages audibly.

If the vehicle has been positioned, the lock hook can be fixed. The refrigerator door

can then be opened without having to press the release button.

Fixing the lock hook:

 Press the fixing mechanism (Fig. 144,1) upwards. The lock hook (Fig. 144,2) is

pressed upwards and no longer functions.

Releasing the lock hook:

 Press the lock hook (Fig. 144,2) downwards. The lock hook is functional once

again.

Z During the journey the refrigerator door must always be closed and be locked

in the closed position.

Z When the refrigerator is switched off, bring the refrigerator door into the venti-

lation position and lock it in place if possible. This prevents mould from forming.
