WARNING! DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS WARNING! Most LP gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that the gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. FOR YOUR SAFETY, it is recommended that all LP gas appliances which are vented to the outside should be shut off when refueling.
General 1.0 General 1.1 1.4 Introduction On installation of the appliance, the technical and administrative regulations of the country in which the vehicle will first be used must be adhered to. Otherwise the refrigerator must be installed as described in these instructions. 1.2 Explanation of symbols used in this manual Warning notices Warning notices are identified by symbols. A supplementary text gives you an explanation of the degree of danger. Observe these warning notices rigorously.
General Information 1.6 Limitation of liability All information and guidance in these operating instructions were prepared after taking into consideration the applicable standards and regulations as well as the current state of the art. Dometic reserves the right to make changes at any time which are deemed to be in the interest of improving the product and safety.
Safety instructions 2.0 Safety instructions 2.1 Application according to regulations DANGER! Never use an unshielded flame to check gas bearing parts and pipes for leakage! This refrigerator is designed for installation in recreation vehicles such as caravans or motorhomes. The appliance has been typeapproval tested for this application in accordance with the EC Gas Directive. There is a danger of fire or explosion. The refrigerator is to be used solely for storing foodstuffs.
Description of model 3.0 Description of model 3.1 3.2 Model identification Refrigerator rating plate The rating plate is to be found on the inside of the refrigerator. It contains all important details of the refrigerator. You can read off from this the model identification, the product number and the serial number. You will need these details whenever you contact the customer service centre or when ordering spare parts.

Installation 4.0 Installation instructions 4.1 4.1.1 Side installation Installation If the appliance is installed on the same side of the vehicle as the entrance door, it is desirable that the door does not cover the refrigerator's vents. (Fig. 5, Clearance door/ventilation grille at least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be impaired which causes a loss in cooling performance. Awnings are often placed at the door side of a caravan.
Installation 4.1.2 Rear installation CAUTION! Rear installation often causes an unfavourable installation arrangement, as ideal ventilation cannot always be assured (e.g. the lower ventilation grille is covered by the bumper or the rear lights of the vehicle!) (Fig. 8). The maximum cooling performance of the aggregate is actually not available.
Installation installation recess above the refrigerator. Affix the this plate to the caravan wall, do NOT attach to the refrigerator ! Proposal 2 Fasten the sealing lips to a stop bar on the rear side (1), e.g. by gluing. Attach the deflector plate so that the heated air escapes through the top ventilation grill into the open air and no heat build-up can be produced. 1 2 Fig. 14/15 Fig.
Installation 4.2 Principle of ventilation Ventilation and air extraction of the refrigerator A correct installation of the refrigerator is essential for its correct operation, as due to physical reasons heat builds up at the back of the appliance which must be allowed to escape into the open air. In the event of high ambient temperatures, full performance of the cooling unit can only be achieved by means of adequate ventilation and extraction.
Installation 4.3 Installing the ventilation system 2 Insert frame and screw into position 4.3.1 Ventilation systems Dometic recommends the A 1625 ventilation and flue gas extraction system which has been tested and approved for this purpose. These ventilation grills provide the required open cross-section of at least 250 cm². Fig. 24 3 Insert and lock ventilation grille. LS 100 Fig.
Installation To install the ventilation grilles, cut two rectangles (451 mm x 156 mm) in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the cuts, see point 4.2). 4.4 Exhaust gas duct and installing the fume flue The exhaust gas duct system must be made in such a manner as to achieve a complete extraction of combustion products to the outside of living space. The duct system must slope in an upward direction in order to avoid a build-up of condensate. The type of exhaust gas duct shown in Fig.
Installation 4.5.2 Recess dimensions H A H HST T TST T Fig. 26 Fig. 25 4.5 Model RM 5310 Installation recess Height Width Depth 620 mm 490 mm 450 mm Height Width Depth 825 mm 490 mm 450 mm Model RM 5330 The refrigerator must be installed draughtproof in a recess (also refer to Section "4.1.4"). The measurements of the recess are stated in the table below. Step A (Fig. 26) is only required for cabinets with a step.
Installation 4.6 Securing the refrigerator 4.7 In the sidewalls of the refrigerator, there are four plastic sleeves for securing the refrigerator. The sidewalls or strips attached for securing the refrigerator must be prepared to hold the screws firmly in place even when under increased load (while the vehicle is moving). Fastening screws and caps are supplied with the refrigerator. Inserting the decor panel Remove the door. 1 2 Fig. 30 Fig. 29 4 3 Fig. 32 Fig.
Installation 4.8 correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area. Gas installation WARNING! The gas connection shall be carried out by specialised personnel* only. Gas connection * Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch for the correct installation and implementation of the leakage test.
Installation 4.9 Electrical installation 4.9.2 Battery connection The machine's 12V connection cable is connected (observing correct polarity) to a terminal strip. The wiring for the heating element (refer to A, B wiring diagram connections; connection cable white/red) must be direct and by the shortest possible route to the battery or electric generator. WARNING! The electrical installation shall be carried out by qualified personnel only.
