NOTE:

On receipt, check that the refrigerator has not been damaged during transport.

If there is any damage, notify the supplier.

If this refrigerator is replacing a larger one which is going to be scrapped,

remove the door before disposal to prevent children from becoming trapped

inside.

Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (less than 2 weight % of the

coolant).

In case if your refrigerator is equipped with lock, dometic do not accept liability

for loss or damage of keys. However we would be happy to aupply a complete

lock and key replacement.

RECOMMENDATION: Clean the refrigerator before using it. Refer to chapter

"Cleaning".

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Fig.1)

The refrigerator is equipped with an absorbtion cooling unit which is completely

silent in operation. It is designed for free-standing installation but can be built in

If the following instructions are observed. In order to ensure perfect operation

and maximum cooling efficiency of the appliance, the following conditions must

be strictly complied with:

1) sufficient supply of fresh air from below;

2) good heat dissipation above the cooling unit, free from obstruction;

3) stable, level position of the refrigerator.

If the appliance is to be built in, please ensure that it can be removed if

necessary without damaging the surrounding fitments.

The refrigerator must be positioned far enough into the fitment for the entire unit

to project into the air duct. In general the more air openings that are provided the

better it is for the appliance performance, however in all case the described

2.25" top clearance opening must be observed regardless of all possible other

supplementary openings. Ventilation must not be obstructed by a radiator,

television or any other source of heat.

Two refrigerators should not be built in, one on top of the other, unless separate

ventilation is provided for each.

DOOR HANG

The position you select for your refrigerator may make it necessary to reverse

the door hang. If this is the case refer to chapter "Reversing the door hang".

DOOR GRIP

For attaching the provided door grip to the door, see fig. 6

OPERATION

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS

The appliance must only be connected to the mains by means of an earthed

socket which has been installed in accordance with the regulations. Before

connecting up, check that the voltage on the data label (in the top left of the

inside compartment) Is compatible with the mains supply.

Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Extension cords should

not be used!

SWITCHING ON

To switch on the refrigerator, plug it into the socket and turn the thermostat (in

the inside compartment) to position 2 or 3 in normal ambient temperatures.

The appliance will be cool in about one hour. As the refrigerator is equipped with

an absorption cooling unit which is completely silent in operation, you will not

hear any noise when the refrigerator is switched on.

The temperature inside the refrigerator is affected by location, room

temperature, kind of foodstuffing and too frequent openning of the door.

Adjustment of the thermostat dial may therefore be necessary.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The cooling capacity can be adjusted by means of the thermostat.

0 = cooling is switched off, from 1 - 5 the temperature decreases. When the

thermostat is at a medium setting (2 or 3) and the ambient temperature is

normal, the temperature inside the refrigerator is between 0°C and 7°C.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator provides sufficient storage space for most kinds of food, milk,

drinks, etc. The shelves on the inside of the door (RA 140 and EA 3140) are

suitable for bottles, tins and small packets. All models with the exception of RA

80, EA 3080 and RH 200 are equipped with half-depth cabinet shelves which

can be arranged acording to preference.Two can be used together to form a

fulldepth shelf or they can be used sepa-rately, leaving space at the front for

bottles and other larger items.

Ideally all foods should be in covered containers or plastic bags or wrapped in

foil or plastic film. Liquids should also be covered. This is to prevent flavours

passing from one item to another and also to reduce frost build-up on the cooling

surfaces due to moisture coming from stored items.

CAUTION:

Do not keep any easily combustible substances such as ether, petrol,

adhesive, propane gas etc. in the refrigerator as this could cause an

explosion!

ICE CUBES

Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with fresh drinking water, cover with the lid and place the

closed ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the ice

tray from freezing to the surface.

To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to position 5 for a short

while. Remember to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes are

frozen.

To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running water. Remove the

lid with the ice cubes from the ice tray and the ice cubes can now be taken out

easily.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DEFROSTING

Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must not be allowed to

become too thick since it impairs the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.

Check the formation of frost regularly and defrost the refrigerator if the layer of

frost is thicker than 6 mm.

The applicance are fitted either with a semi or fully automatic defrosting system.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING

Press the defrosting button in the centre of the thermostat dial with a toothpick.

On no account alter the position of the thermostat but leave it at its usual setting

and close the door. When the defrosting process is complete the defrosting

button is released automatically and the refrigerator will return to normal

operation.

Defrosting time is dependent on the thickness of the frost layer and the room

temperature.

AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING

The appliance defrosts automatically on a regular basis and then switches itself

on again. The defrosting process is carried out by a timer switch operating on a

24-hour cycle. This timer is preset and needs no adjustments.

DEFROST WATER

During the defrosting process the water rums through a hose into a container on

the back of the refrigerator where it evaporates.

This container does not need to be emptied.

CLEANING

Cleand the inside of your refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and hygienic.

Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug. Clean the interior and fittings

carefully with a mild detergent in lukewarm water.

Never use acidic, abrasive or strong-smelling detergents or wax polishes as

these will damage the surfaces and leave an unpleasant smell.

The outside should occasionally be dusted or wiped over with a damp cloth. The

door seal should only be cleaned with water and rubbed down with talcum

powder from time to time.

If possible, the unit should also be dusted occasionally with a brush or a vacuum

cleaner. Ensure that the plug is disconnected when doing this.

LONGER PERIODS OF ABSENCE

If you wish to switch off the appliance for a longer period of time, pull out the

plug, defrost the refrigerator and clean it carefully. Leave the door open to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

RESERVING THE DOOR HANG (fig. 2)

Lay the appliance on its back. Remove the 8 screws (1). Remove the door,

together with the two hinges (2), from the housing.

Remove the two cover caps (3) from the housing and place them in the open

hinge holes in the housing. Place the bottom righthand hinge in the top left of

the door and the top righthand hinge in the bottom left of the door and hang the

door on its hinges in the open cover cap holes in the housing. Secure the hinges

and cover caps with the 8 screws.

Check that the door closes easily and is sealed properly.

REPLACING THE DECORATIVE DOOR PANEL (fig. 3-5)

Remove the two screws (1) from the upper hinge of the door.

Pull the door together with the hinge away from the housing and up off the lower

hinge bolt (2-3).

Remove screws (4) and pull off the frame edge (5).

Slide the decorative panel (6) out of the door frame and insert the new panel (7),

so that the upper edge of the panel runs exactly parallel to the upper edge of the

frame. A new panel can be inserted more easily into the upper edge of the frame

when the two comers are cut off by approx. 5 x 5 mm (8). Put the frame edge

(5) back in place and secure with screws (4).

Place the door on the lower hinge (9), slot the upper hinge into the opening,

press together with the door against the housing and secure with the two screws

(11).

CHANGING THE LIGHTBULB (Model EA 3080, EA 3120, EA 3140, RH 200)

If the lightbulb needs to be changed, pull out the plug and proceed as follows:

Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the lamp covering backwards.

Replace the bulb and push the covering back into place.

A new 10-watt bulb can be obtained at any Dometic service shop.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Before you call a service engineer, carry out the following simple tests:

Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.

Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the socket switched on?

Check the socket by plugging in another appliance, eg a table lamp.

Is the thermostat at the correct setting? (normally 2 or 3).

Has the door not been closed properly causing the inside temperature to rise

too quickly?

Is the refrigerator level ?

Has the ventilation become obstructed?

If after checking all the above points, the refrigerator is still not working

satisfactorily, contact your nearest service engineer. State the problem, model,

product- and serialnumber.

(Details of the model, product- and serialnumber are to be found on the data

label in the top left of the inside compartment.)

IMPORTANT ADVICE

make sure that drinks and food, particularly those with a strong smell, are

closed tightly or well packed;

close the door properly after use. The door should only be left open a little

when the refrigerator is switched off;

defrost the refrigerator regularly.

Do not

use sharp objects to remove the frost layer or free the ice tray; - obstruct the

airflow on or above the cooling unit;

put any hot or warm food/drinks into the refrigerator- allow them to cool down

first.
