include damages which may arise from faulty
operation, improper alterations or intervention
in the equipment, adverse effects from the
environment such as changes in temperature

ENVIRONMENTAL HINTS
RefrigeratorsmanufacturedbyDometicGmbH
are CFC-free.
Ammonia (a natural compound of hydrogen
and nitrogen) is used in the cooling unit as a
coolant. The non-ozone-hazardous cyclopentan
is used as a propellant in the manufacture of
the PU foam insulation.
DISPOSAL
In order to ensure that the recyclable packaging
materials are re-used, these should be sent to
the usual local collection system.
The appliance should be transferred to a
suitable waste disposal company that will
ensure re-use of the recyclable components
and proper disposal of the rest.
For eco-friendly draining of the coolant from all
absorber refrigeration units, a suitable disposal
plant should be used.

8.2 Using the refrigerator
The fridge conserves fresh foodstuffs. The
freezer compartment conserves frozen
foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers
are not excessively cooled. Liquids expand
when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass
containers.
Food may only be stored in its original
packaging or in suitable containers. Ensure that
the objects placed in the refrigerator are suitable
for cooling to the selected temperature.
Switch the refrigerator on by turning the
temperature control (fig.51) clockwise.
Note: After switching on, the refrigerator
requires approx. 60 s until the compressor
starts up.
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature to any level using
the control knob. The built-in thermostat
regulates the temperature as follows:
1 least cooling
7 most cooling
Thecoolingcapacitycanbeinuencedby:
• theambienttemperature
• theamountoffoodtobeconserved
• thefrequencywithwhichthedoor
is opened.
Conserving foodstuffs
You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
The time for which the food can be conserved
in this way is usually stated on the package.
Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator.
Do not place glass containers containing liquid
in the freezer compartment. Food which can
easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and
products with a high alcohol content should be
conserved in airtight containers.
The refrigerator is divided in different zones
with different temperatures:
• Thecolderzonesareimmediatelyabove
the drawers for fruit and vegetables, near
the back wall.
• Observethetemperatureinformationand
best before date on the food packaging.
