ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and
durable manner; taking into accounts all relevant regulations
and codes of practice.
For mains voltage operation, it is important that the circuit
to and in the caravan is effectively earthed.
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded threeprong recepta-
cle. DO NOT cut off or remove the grounding prong from this
plug. The free length of the cord is 1.8 m and therefore recom-
mended that the receptacle be located to the left side of the
refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately 100-150
mm from the floor. This allows easy access through the vent
door.
230-240 V supplies
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as
the main voltage in use (230-240 V). Plug the 230-240 V re-
frigerator power cord into an easily accessible wall socket.
Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they
cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the
refrigerator.
Exchange of supply cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
12 V Supplies
The 12 V connection of the refrigerator is shown in fig. 8.
Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery or alternator
by a direct cable; (check the polarity). The connection is made
to the terminal block.
The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals of the terminal block. Correct polarity must be ob-
served when connecting to the 12 volt DC supply. Do not use
the chassis or the vehicle frame as one of the conductors.
Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route directly to the
12 volt DC supply. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross section
area of the connecting cables between battery/alternator and
the refrigerator must be 10 mm
2
. To ensure satisfactory opera-
tion, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at 25 A.
To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make
sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when the
vehicle engine is not running, for example by fitting an ignition
control relay.

Before leaving
Once the installation is complete, test the operation of the
refrigerator and instruct the user on its correct operation. If the
appliance fails to operate correctly, contact your local Dometic
Service provider.
REPOSITIONING THE HINGES
The refrigerator is equipped with reversible doors. A special
door reversing kit must be used to reverse the doors. For further
information, contact your dealer or Dometic.
DOOR PANEL
The refrigerator is delivered with door panels. Door panels can
easily be fitted or changed. The dimensions of the panels must
be:
Height upper door 402 ± 1 mm
lower door 826 ± 1 mm
Width 525 ± 1 mm
Thickness max. 4 mm
When mounting the panel, proceed as follows:
Open the door 90 degrees
Remove the door decoration strip (2) by gently pushing the
four tabs away with a flat blade screw-driver (1).
Insert the vertical edges into the grooves of the door
frame (3).
Push the panel downward so that the lower horizontal edge
of the panel (4) is fitted into the bottom grove (5).
Snap in the decoration strip (2).
