DOMETIC RM2350 3 Way Fridge and Freezer 90L

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The installation, servicing and gas installation must be performed by an authorised/qualified person. The refrigerator must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations, AS5601.2 “Gas Installations” and any other statutory regulations.

PACKAGING

The packaging of this appliance is design to withstand the transportation from the factory to the point where it will be installed in the recreational vehicle.
Before starting to install the appliance, please, make sure all parts of the packaging have been removed, so there will not be anything left that may come into contact with heat parts of the appliance or obstruct the combustion exhaust gases or the air movement around the cooling unit.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

The installation shall be made in such a manner as to separate the combustion system from the living space of the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent.
We recommend fitting the Dometic ventilation system, which is specially developed by Dometic for this purpose. The ventilation kits must be installed and used without modification.
An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator compartment must be provided for ventilation of heavierthan-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with proper size openings. The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed.
The lower side vent provides an adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be centred on the back of the refrigerator.

CLEARANCES

If the lower grille is not at floor level where leaking gas can escape, a 40 mm hole to the outside should be made in the floor of the recess to drain any unburned gas to the outside. Fit the hole with wire mesh and an angled plate to protect it from stones, mud etc.

MINIMUM VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

Notice: If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install the top exhaust vent directly above the condenser of the refrigerator (what Dometic recommends):
“Minimum top vent height is 746 mm (top of upper vent opening)”

To compensate for the lowered vent it is required that the deflector plate (1) is installed so that it touches the leading bottom edge of the condenser unit.

Ventilation System (Not Included)
Ventilation components are:
– 1x AS1625 vent kit (top & bottom vents with frames)
– 1x TP (includes 1x tee piece & 1x extension)
– Extra extensions may be required depending on the height of refrigerator and vent height.

DIMENSIONS

The following dimensions offer adequate space for service and proper installation.

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

• It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are strictly maintained, as the performance of the refrigerator is dependent on adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator. The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level, see “DIMENSIONS”.
• Note! Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.
• The space between the storage cabinet and the top of the refrigerator should be blocked otherwise heat will become trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot, thus reducing the efficiency of the unit. All areas within the recess in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed: – Make sure that there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose.
  – Apply a sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure. The sealing should provide a  complete isolation of theappliance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior.
  

Note! Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the refrigerator is put in place.

SECURING THE REFRIGERATOR

Failure to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet! After the refrigerator is put in place, (insuring a combustion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the enclosure with five screws (not included)

The screws have to be installed in the following order:

1. Four screws installed through the front frame.
2. One screw installed in rear base. In the parts bag there are plugs to be snapped in the front frame to cover the four screw heads.
   

CONNECTIONS

UNIVERSAL LP GAS CONNECTION

The gas installation and servicing must be carried out by an authorised person and conform to all relevant local authorities. The refrigerator is not designed for operation on town gas or natural gas but for operation on universal LP gas, the pressure of which must be 2,75 kPa. Check that this is stated on the data plate. The gas supply system must incorporate an approved gas pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of 2,75 kPa.

The supply pipe should be of copper. If other material is used, it must be of a type approved for use with continuously operating bottle-gas appliances and have threaded connections throughout.
All connectors etc. should be of a type specifically designed for the type and diameter of the connection pipe used, and screwed joints should be sealed with a joining compound approved for use with bottle-gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet which is furnished with an ISO 7/1 – Rp 1/8 internal pipe thread connection with a SAE flare.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock of an approved bottle-gas type must be incorporated in the supply line in a position which is readily accessible to the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.
All completed connections should be checked for leaks with soapy water.

WARNING

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Testing ULP gas safety shut off

The gas safety shut off must be tested after the refrigerator is connected to the ULP gas supply.

To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:

1. Start the refrigerator.
2. Check that the gas flame is lit which can be observed on the flame indicator E. The red indicator is in the green field, (ON).
3. Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to “OFF” position.
4. Wait for one minute.
5. Remove burner cover plate.
6. Open the gas valve by turning knob A to position (GAS) without pushing the buttons C and D
7. Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solution to the burner jet.
8. No bubbles should appear at the opening of the burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a defective gas safety shutoff, and service is required.
   If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas safety valve is working properly.
9. Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to damage the burner jet.
10. Replace cover and turn the main switch OFF and back ON.
11. Normal operation of the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper and durable manner, taking into account 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 receptacle. Note! Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
The free length of the cord is 6 ft. (1,8 m). It is recommended the receptacle placed on the left side of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately 4-6 inches (100- 150 mm) from the floor. This will allow easy accessibility 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 Vrefrigerator 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 manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

12 Volts DC Supplies

The connection is made to the terminal block marked “12 volts DC” located at the bottom left corner on the back of the refrigerator.
To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of the connecting wires between battery and refrigerator must be at least 6 mm2 .
To ensure safe operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at 20 amps.
Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the 12 V DC supply.
Note! Do not use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a substitute for either of the two conductors. Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator.
Do not connect any other electrical equipment or lighting to the refrigerator circuit.

The connections must be clean, tight and free from corrosion. If not, a resulting voltage drop will cause a decreased cooling capacity.
Note! Do NOT operate the refrigerator on 12 V when the vehicle is parked. The amperage draw of the 12 V DC heating element can discharge a battery in a very short time.
The installation of a 12 V DC operated refrigerator requires a relay to be installed on the tow vehicle or in the caravan. The relay will automatically shut off the 12 V DC power to the refrigerator when the ignition is turned off.

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.

RE-HINGING THE DOOR

To re-hinge the door, follow these steps:

1. Before working on the refrigerator, make sure the 230- 240 V AC voltage and 12 V DC voltage leads are disconnected.
2. Detach the top decor panel by removing the two mounting screws and the two knobs. Disengage seal strips. Remove the panel and place it aside.

5. When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing strips are properly positioned.
6. Replacement is the reverse of removal. Check all connections for gas leaks.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ABSORPTION REFRIGERATOR SYSTEM

In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid ammonia, flowing downward by gravity through this section.
If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a loss of cooling.
Note! Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the refrigerator operating, the vehicle must be levelled to prevent this loss of cooling.
When the vehicle is moving, the levelling is not critical, as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia from accumulating in the evaporator tubing.

GENERAL ADVICE AND INFORMATION

• Make sure defrosting is carried out periodically
• The refrigerator should be kept clean and dry with the door left open when it is not to be used for some time.
• Ensure that liquids or items with a strong odour are well packaged.
• Service and maintenance must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly, efficiently and safely. The service should be performed by qualified personnel only.
• Avoid spraying water through the refrigerator vents while washing your RV.

WARNING

The sealed cooling system must not be opened. It contains corroding chemicals under high pressure.

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

CONTROL PANEL

A. ON/OFF, Fuel selector switch

GAS, AC AND DC OPERATION

UNIVERSAL LP GAS OPERATION

Before starting the refrigerator, open the shutoff valve of the gas bottle (check that there is enough gas). Open any onboard shutoff valve.

1. Start the refrigerator by turning turn knob A to position (GAS).
2. Turn the thermostat knob B to position 4.
3. Press and hold button C and push button D for the piezo igniter several times to light the burner. This can be observed on the flame indicator E. When the flame is lit, the red indicator is in the green field. (ON).
4. After the gas is lit keep button C pressed for 10 s. Release the button and check that the red indicator is in the green field, (ON).

Note! After changing an ULPG tank, or after a long shut off period, the gas line is likely to be filled with air. You may have to repeat the lighting procedure several times to purge the air out of the gas lines.

230-240 V AC OPERATION

Before operating the refrigerator, check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as the main voltage in use.

1. ☞ Check to be sure that the power cord is properly connected to the power supply.
2. Turn the knob A to the position marked “AC” for 230-240 volt AC operation.
3. Turn the thermostat knob B to position 4.

12 V DC OPERATION

Only operate your refrigerator on 12 V DC when the engine of the vehicle is running – otherwise your battery will soon be discharged.

☞ Turn the knob A to the position marked “DC” for 12 V DC operation. Note that there is no thermostat function on 12 V
DC operation, the refrigerator works continuously.

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE

The refrigerator is equipped with a thermostat that can be adjusted by turning the knob B to different setting to maintain the desired cabinet temperature.

ULP gas operation

• At “OFF, the thermostat closes its main valve and the burner runs continuously at the bypass rate, just enough to keep the burner lit.
• At “MAX”, the thermostat allows the burner to remain on high flame continuously.

AC operation (230-240 V AC)

• At “OFF, the contacts in the thermostat are open and the heating elements are off.
• At “MAX”, the heating element is “ON” continuously. Lowest cabinet and freezer temperatures are obtained at this setting.

The thermostat can be adjusted between “MAX” and “OFF” to obtain the desired cabinet temperature. The closer the knob is to “MAX” – the colder the cabinet temperature. The closer the knob is to “OFF” – the warmer the cabinet temperature.
When the thermostat reaches the set temperature, it will cut the burner back to bypass or, in electric operation (230240 V AC), shut off the heating element. The setting of the thermostat is not critical, but we recommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the cooling fins. Adjust the thermostat knob closer to “MAX” when the outside temperature becomes warm.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

☞ To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to “OFF”.

If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the door left ajar. Use the travel catch to hold in this position. The ice tray should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.

STORAGE COMPARTMENTS

FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods having a strong odour or those that absorb odours easily should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their crispness

The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when placing different types of food in the refrigerator.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the bottom of the aluminium liner. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compartment. This compartment is not designed for deep or quickfreezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled first in the refrigerator.
They can be stored about three times longer in the frozen food compartment as compared to the fresh food compartment. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminium foil. Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment. For faster ice making, the tray should be placed in direct contact with the bottom of the freezer compartment. Ice making is accelerated if the thermostat knob B is turned to the “MAX” setting.
It is a good idea to do this a few hours before the anticipated need for ice, but be sure to turn the thermostat back to normal setting, usually about mid-setting when the ice is formed.
Food in the lower compartment may be frozen if the setting is left on “MAX” position.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE SHELVES

1. ☞ Remove the shelf locks by inserting the tip of a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot of the locks. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwise and then remove the shelf locks from the wire shelf.
   
2. Tilt the shelf to one side at an angle while pulling forward.
   
3. Reposition the shelf in the desired location. Insert
   the ends of the wire shelf on the left-hand side and slide the shelf into the holes on the right-hand side.
4. Slide the plastic plugs into the holes of the wall.
5. Snap the shelf locks onto the wire shelf.
   

PRODUCT CARE

DEFROSTING

1. Shut off the refrigerator by turning the knob A to “OFF” position.
2. Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator.
3. Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open. Filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it on the freezer shelf can reduce defrosting time.
   Defrost water
    Defrost water runs from the drip tray to a receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates. With a lot of defrost water as a result of heavy frosts build up on the cooling fins, remove the drip tray and turn it around. Replace the drip tray with the outlet on the right side of the drip tray and put a bowl under the outlet.

   CAUTION

   Do not use: A knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to remove frost from the freezer shelves. It can create a leak in the ammonia system. A hot air blower. Permanent damage could result from warping the metal or plastic parts.

4. When the ice has melted, dry the interior of the refrigerator with a clean cloth.
5. Replace the drip tray to its original position and connect the draining tube.
6. Replace all food and set the thermostat to “MAX” for a few hours. Then reset the thermostat to the desired setting, usually at mid-settings

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage.
To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice tray and shelves.
Note! Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts, as the protective surfaces will be damaged.
It is important to keep the area at the back of the refrigerator clean. Check the lower vent, upper vent and area between these openings for any obstructions such as bird/insect nests, spider webs, etc. Clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft bristled brush to dust off the coils. Keep the refrigerator area free from combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapours or liquids.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

Service and maintenance must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly, efficiently and safely. The service should only be performed by a qualified electrical or gas technician.

REPLACING THE HEATER

The refrigerator is equipped with two electrical heaters, one for 230-240 VAC and one for 12 V DC. To replace the heater proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230240 volt AC outlet. Disconnect the 12 V DC power to the refrigerator.
2. Remove the refrigerator from the enclosure.
3. Disconnect the heater leads at the top of the refrigerator.
4. With a pair of pliers, unfold the lug holding the lid of the boiler casing and open the lid.
5. Remove some insulation wool so that the heater is accessible.
6. Turn and lift the heater out of its pocket.
7. Fit the new heater into the pocket.
8. Reconnect the heater leads at the top.
9. Put back the insulation and close the lid of the boiler.
10. Reinstall the refrigerator in the enclosure.
11. Check all connections for gas leaks.
12. A qualified gas fitter should be employed.
13. Connect 230-240 V power cord to the outlet.
14. Reconnect or turn on the 12 V DC power.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

This work should be made by a qualified service man.

CHECKING THE CONNECTIONS

Check all connections in the ULP gas system (at the back of the refrigerator) for gas leaks. The ULP gas supply must be turned on. Apply a non-corrosive bubble solution to all ULP gas connections. The appearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should be repaired immediately by a qualified gas fitter.

CHECKING THE ULP GAS PRESSURE

The ULP gas pressure should be checked and the main regulator readjusted if pressure is incorrect. The correct operating pressure is 2,7 kPa. The correct place to measure the ULP gas pressure is at the test port just ahead of the burner jet.

CLEANING THE FLUE AND BURNER

Maintenance work should be made by a qualified service man.
Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably clean and free of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning of the burner.
The flue and burner both require cleaning in the following manner:

1. Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230240 V AC outlet. Disconnect or shut off the 12 V DC power to the refrigerator.
2. Close the gas valve by turning the knob A to “OFF”.
3. Remove cover from the burner housing.
4. Disconnect the wire from the high voltage electrode.
5. Remove the burner mounting screw and remove the burner assembly.
6. Lift out the wire and flue baffle from the top of flue tube.
7. Clean the flue from the top using a flue brush.
   Blowing compressed air into the flue will not properly clean soot and scale out of the flue tube.
8. Replace the flue baffle.
9. Clean burner tube with a brush. Blow out burner with compressed air.
   

   ⚠ WARNING

   Do not use a wire or pin when cleaning the burner jet as damage can occur to the precision opening. This can cause damage to the refrigerator or create a fire hazard.

   

10. Before removing burner jet, clean burner area of soot and scale that fell out of flue tube.
11. Remove the burner jet. Soak the jet in wood alcohol and blow out with compressed air. Reinstall and tighten burner jet.
12. Reinstall burner, being careful that the end of the burner fits into the slot on the burner bracket.
13. Check to make sure the slots are centred under the flue tube and that the thermocouple is positioned properly (tip of thermocouple extends over two slots of burner). Note that the colour of the flame should be clear blue over the slots of the burner.
    
14. Be sure to reconnect the wire to high voltage electrode. Check the electrode for proper location and gap.
    
15. Open the gas valve by turning knob A to (GAS).
16. Check all fittings for leaks with soapy water.
17. Connect 230-240 volt power cord to the outlet and reconnect the 12 V DC power.
18. Check ULP gas safety shutoff.

CONSUMER SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
EXPLOSION OR FIRE

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Should overheat occur, or the gas supply fails to shut off, turn gas OFF at the LP tank. On ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODEL turn operating switch to OFF position and remove the red wire from the left-hand terminal of ECO switch or turn gas OFF at the LP tank.
• Use with LP gas only.
• Shut off gas appliances when refueling.
• Turn gas OFF at the LP tank when the vehicle is in motion. This disables all gas appliances. Gas appliances must never be operated while the vehicle is in motion. Unpredictable wind currents may be created which could cause a flame reversal in the burner tube, which could result in fire damage. The thermal cut-off fuse could also be unnecessarily activated resulting in a complete shutdown of the water heater requiring replacement of the thermal cut-off. See maintenance of electronic ignition water heaters for further explanation of the thermal cut-off.
• LP tanks must be filled by a qualified gas supplier only.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR WATER HEATER

CAUTION
FIRE

• Do not smoke or have any flame near an open faucet.
  If the water heater has not been used for more than two weeks, hydrogen gas may form in the waterline. Under these conditions to reduce the risk of injury, open a hot water faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen gas is present, you will probably hear sounds like air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow.

WARNING
SCALDING INJURY

• Do not tamper with the orifice or mixing valve.

CAUTION
PRODUCT FAILURE

• Do not operate without water in the tank.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION OPERATION

1. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM FIG12. Place remote switch in ON position.
2. For complete shut-down and before servicing:
   a. Place remote switch in OFF position.
   b. Remove red wire from left-hand terminal of ECO switch (ECO to valve).
3. If the heater fails to operate due to high water temperature, a lockout condition occurs (indicator light on). After the water cools, reset the switch ni OFF position for at least 30 seconds, then turn to the ON position. If a lockout condition persists contact a Dometic Service Center. Read MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS & ELECTRONIC IGNITION MAINTENANCE

GAS/ELECTRIC COMBINATION FUNCTION
GAS OPERATION. When the gas switch is turned on, the unit will make three attempts to light. If for any reason there is no ignition, the unit will lockout and the red lockout lamp will illuminate. If the thermostat fails, the ECO will also lock out the unit, requiring resetting. Determine the reason for no ignition, correct it, and reset the gas ignition sequence by turning the switch off, then on.
ELECTRIC OPERATION. When the electric switch is turned on, the relay at the rear of the unit will close and pass 110vac to the element. If the thermostat were to fail, the ECO will open and lockout the system. To correct, check the thermostat to assure good contact with the tank and reset the control by turning the electric switch off, then on. GAS/ELECTRIC OPERATION. The unit can be run in both gas and electric modes simultaneously for quick recovery. note: if the gas fails to ignite, the gas mode will lockout, but the lockout lamp will not illuminate since the electric mode is still operational. Should you notice slow recovery, indicating the gas is not working, turn the electric switch off. The lamp will then illuminate indicating a lockout has occurred on the gas side. Correct the problem and turn the switches back on.

WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION

• Shut off the gas supply at the LP container before disconnecting a gas line.
• Keep control compartment clean and free of gasoline, combustible material, and flammable liquids and vapors.

AFTERMARKET WATER HEATING ELEMENT DEVICES
WARNING
EXPLOSION / BURN INJURY

• DO NOT alter the water heater, it will void the warranty.
• DO NOT USE Aftermarket heating elements, they can lack critical safety controls.
• The Use of Aftermarket heating elements can lead to out-of-control heating of water tank and a catastrophic wet side explosion.
  The use of any aftermarket heating element devices may also result in damage to components or water heaters. Dometic’s written warranty states – “failure or damage resulting from any alteration to our water heater is the owner’s responsibility”. Any alteration, like the addition of an aftermarket heating element device, will void the warranty.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• LP and Water system must be turned on.
• Have gas pressure been tested periodically? Should be set at 11 inches of the water column with three appliances running.
• Drain water heater at regular intervals (at least one time during the year).
• Drain water heater before storing RV for the winter or when the possibility of freezing exists.
• Keep vent and combustion air grill clear of any obstructions.
• Periodically, compare flame of main burners with FIG 4 and main burner adjustments in HOW TO OPERATE YOUR WATER HEATER.
• The presence of soot indicates the need to adjust the flame.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION MAINTENANCE

• The water heater comes factory-equipped with a fused circuit board, which will protect the circuit board from wiring shorts. If the fuse should activate, the water heater will not operate. Before replacing the fuse, check for a short external to the board. Once the short is corrected, replace the 2 amp fuse with a mini ATO style fuse. Do not install a fuse larger than 3 amps.
• If the fuse is good and the unit is inoperative, check for excessively high voltage to the unit (more than 14 volts).
• If the previous two steps did not solve the problem, check the thermal cut-off (FIG 3-I). The thermal cutoff is a device installed in the power supply line. This device will shut off the electrical power and stop heater operation when activated. For example, if an obstruction within the flue tube should occur, as described in the Preventative Maintenance section, the burner flame/heat may contact the cutoff, resulting in a melting of the fuse element incorporated in the thermal cutoff. In order to restore power and proper operation of the water heater, the obstruction must be removed and the thermal cutoff must be replaced.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Spiders, mud wasps, and other insects can build nests in the burner tube. This will cause poor combustion, delayed ignition or ignition outside the combustion tube. Listen for a change in burner sounds or in flame appearance from a hard blue flame to a soft lazy flame or one that is very yellow. These are indications of obstruction in the burner
tube (FIG 4-C). Inspect and clean on a regular basis.
a. Remove air shutter screw (FIG 4-A) and slide air shutter (FIG 4-B) down burner tube.
b. Run a flexible wire brush down the burner tube (FIG 4-D) until it is visible at end of the burner tube.
c. Vacuum burner where it enters combustion tube.
d. Return air shutter to the original position and replace the screw.
e. The orifice, burner tube, and shutter must be aligned so that the shutter is not binding on the air tube.
HOW TO CLEAN ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODEL

1. Check the main burner orifice.
2. Clean and adjust the main burner.
3. Main burner and valve manifold must align with each other
4. Check electrode for cracked porcelain (FIG 4-E).
5. Check electrode for proper gap – 1/8” between electrode and ground.
6. If module board functions intermittently, remove board and clean terminal block with a pencil eraser (FIG 3-H).

WATER HEATER TANK CARE
WARNING
SCALDING INJURY

• Turn off the water heater and allow time for water to cool before removing the drain plug to flush the tank.

WINTERIZING (FLUSHING) INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure the best performance of your water heater and add to the life of the tank, periodically drain and flush the water heater tank. Before long-term storage or freezing weather drain and flush the tank.

1. Turn off the main water supply (the pump or water supply (the pump or water hook up source).
2. Drain Water Heater Tank by removing the drain plug. If the water flows sporadically or trickles instead of a steady stream of water, we recommend the following action; first, open the Pressure Temperature Relief Valve to allow air into the tank and secondly, take a small gauge wire or coat hanger and poke through the drain opening to eliminate any obstructions.
3. After draining the tank, because of the placement of the Drain Plug, approximately two quarts of water will remain in the tank. This water contains most of the harmful corrosive particles. To remove these harmful corrosive particles flush the tank with either air or water. Whether using air or water pressure, it may be applied through the inlet or outlet on the rear of the tank or the Pressure Temperature Relief Valve. (If using the Pressure Temperature Relief Valve the Support Flange must be removed). The pressure will force out the remaining water and the corrosive particles. If you use water pressure, pump fresh water into the tank with the assistance of the onboard pump or use external water for 90  seconds to allow the fresh water to agitate the stagnant water on the bottom of the tank and force deposits through the drain opening. Continue repeating adding water and draining until the particles have been cleared from the water remaining in the tank.
4. Replace the Drain Plug and close the Pressure Temperature Relieve Valve. The approximately two quarts of water remaining in the tank after draining will not cause damage to the tank should freezing occur.

PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RELIEF VALVE

WARNING
SCALDING INJURY

• Valve is not serviceable, it must be replaced.
• Tampering with a valve will result in scalding injury.
• Tampering with a valve will void the warranty.

WARNING
EXPLOSION

• Do not place a valve, plug, or reducing coupling on the outlet part of the pressure-temperature relief valve.
  A Pressure Temperature Relief Valve, dripping while the water heater is running, DOES NOT mean it is defective. During the normal expansion of water, as it is heated in the closed water system of a recreation vehicle, the Pressure Temperature Relief Valve will sometimes drip. The Dometicwater heater tank is designed with an internal air gap at the top of the tank to reduce t e possibility of dripping. In time, the expanding water will absorb this air and it must be restored.

WARNING
SCALDING INJURY

• Turn off water heater before opening the pressure-temperature relief valve to establish air space. Storage water must be cool.

TO REPLACE THE AIR GAP FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Turn off the main water supply (the pump or water hook-up source).
2. Let the water cool or let run until cool.
3. Open the hot water faucet closest to the water heater.
4. Pull the handle of the pressure-temperature relief valve straight out and allow water to flow until it stops.
5. Allow pressure-temperature relief valve to snap shut; close faucet; turn on the water supply.
6. Turn on the water heater and test.

• At least once a year manually operate pressure-temperature relief valve (FIG 3-G).
  When the pressure-temperature relief valve discharges again, repeat the above procedure. For a permanent solution, we recommend one of the following:
• Install a pressure relief valve in the cold water inlet line to the water heater and attach a drain line from the valve to outside of the coach. Set to relieve at 100-125 PSI.
• Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank in a cold water inlet line. The tank should be sized to allow for expansion of approximately 15 oz. of water and pre-charged to a pressure equal to water supply pressure. These devices can be obtained from a plumbing contractor or  Service Center.

FLUSHING TO REMOVE UNPLEASANT ODOR
A rotten egg odor (hydrogen sulfide) may be produced when the electro galvanic action of the cladding material releases hydrogen from the water. If sulfur is present in the water supply the two will combine and produce an unpleasant smell.

1. Turn off the main water supply. Drain the water heater tank and reinstall the drain plug. Remove the pressure-temperature relief valve. Mix solution of 4 parts white vinegar to two parts water. (For a 10-gallon tank, use 6 gallons vinegar to 3 gallons water). With a funnel, carefully pour the solution into the tank.
2. Cycle water heater with the above solution, letting it run under normal operation 4-5 times.
3. Remove the drain plug and thoroughly drain all water from the tank. Flush the water heater to remove any sediment. you may flush the tank with air pressure or freshwater. Pressure may be applied through either the inlet or outlet valve on the rear of the tank or through the pressure-temperature relief valve coupling located on the front of the unit.
   TO FLUSH TANK WITH AIR PRESSURE:
   Insert your air pressure through the pressure-temperature relief valve coupling. With the drain valve open, the air pressure will force the remaining water out of the unit.
   TO FLUSH TANK WITH WATER PRESSURE:
   Freshwater should be pumped into the tank with either the onboard pump or external water pressure. Continue this flushing process for approximately five minutes, allowing the freshwater to agitate the stagnant water on the bottom of the tank and forcing the deposits through the drain opening.
4. Replace the drain plug and pressure-temperature relief valve.
5. Refill tank with fresh water that contains no sulfur.

The Dometic water heater is designed for use in a recreation vehicle. If you use your vehicle frequently or for long periods of time, flushing the water heater several times a year will prolong the life of the storage tank.

General—Burner Maintenance

• Periodically clear all obstructions in Burner Orifice and pilot Assembly (dirt, spider webs, etc.)
• Periodically clean Burner Tube with a small brush
• Check air adjustment of Burner by positioning the air shutter 1/4 open (blue flame with a small trace of yellow).
• Check Alignment of Burner tube and Orifice—Must be straight
• PILOT MODEL—Check orifice for contamination. Clean if flame is low, replace assembly if cleaning fails.
• ELECTRONIC MODEL—Check electrode for cracks and gap (Spark probe and the Ground gap should be 1/8”)

Tank Maintenance
Failure to follow these instructions May result in Denial of Your Warranty Coverage!
Caution! Always turn off the main water supply (pump or water supply hook-up), allow the water to cool, then drain the tank by removing the drain plug.
Frequency: Full-Time RV’er, Every (60) day (Southwest US, every (30) day). Part-Time RV’er, Minimum of 2X annually (Southwest, every (90) day).
Reason: The Life of the tank and performance of the water heater are directly affected by water quality! High mineral content will cause corrosion and sediment deposits that shorten the life of the tank, element, relief valve, and Mixing Valve (XT Models). (Lack of proper maintenance of the tank will cause Mixing Valves on XT Models to  malfunction, requiring costly service procedures to clean and/or replace at the owner’s expense.)
Flushing the Tank

1. Turn off the main water supply (pump or water hook-up source).
2. Drain the water heater by removing the drain plug. If the water flows sporadically or trickles instead of a steady stream, we recommend the following action: First, open the Pressure/Temperature Relief Valve to allow air into the tank and Second, using a small gauge wire or coat hanger, poke through the drain coupling to dislodge any obstructions.
3. With the tank drained, approximately two quarts of water remain in the bottom (note drain plug position in the illustration above). This water contains most of the harmful corrosive particles. To remove these materials, Dometic recommends the use of a commercially available “RV Water Heater Flushing Tool”. Simply running water through the inlet does not stir up and flush out all sediment. The wand of a flushing tool allows you to move around at different angles inside the tank with a higher pressure water jet, suspending and flushing the materials back out of the drain coupling. Continue flushing until the water being flushed from the drain coupling runs clear.
4.  Replace the drain plug.

Winterizing
Prior to storing your RV, Follow Steps 1-4 of “Flushing the Tank” above. Note: The approximately (2) quarts of water that remain in the bottom of the tank will not cause freeze damage to the tank. Caution!: An un-drained tank, (water level above the drain plug level), will crack the tank in freezing conditions.
Unpleasant Odors
A “rotten egg odor” (hydrogen sulfide) may be produced when the electro galvanic action of the cladding material releases hydrogen from the water. If sulfur is present in the water supply the two will combine and produce an unpleasant smell. To remedy the problem, first complete the (4) steps in “Flushing the Tank” above. When the tank is flushed, perform the following:

1. Remove the Pressure/Temperature Relief Valve. Mix a solution of (4) parts white vinegar to (2) parts water. (For a 6-gallon tank, use (4) gallons of vinegar to (2) gallons of water.) With a funnel, carefully pour the solution into the tank through the P&T coupling. Re-install the P&T Relief Valve.
2. Turn on the water heater and allow the water to heat up through a full cycle (this may take up to 45 minutes.) It is recommended you allow the water
   heater to operate through 3 or 4 additional heat maintenance cycles.
3. Turn off and allow to cool. When cool, remove the drain plug and drain. Then repeat Steps 3 and 4 of “Flushing the Tank” above.
4. Refill the tank with fresh water that contains no sulfur.

Dripping Pressure Temperature Relief Valve
A Pressure Temperature Relief Valve, dripping while the water heater is in use, DOES NOT mean it is defective. During normal use, water expands as it is heated in the closed water system. The Dometic water heater is designed with an internal air gap at the top of the tank to absorb the expansion and reduce the dripping. In time, this air gap will be absorbed and need to be restored. To restore the Air Gap:

1. Turn off the main water supply (pump or water hook-up source) and allow water to cool.
2. Open the nearest hot water faucet to the water heater.
3. Pull the handle on the Pressure Temperature Relief Valve straight out and allow water to flow until it stops flowing.
4. Trip the handle on the relief valve allowing it to snap shut, shut off the hot water faucet, turn on the water supply, and turn the water heater on. Test.

XT Models—Special Requirements
If you experience low flow from the hot water faucet or notice the water is not as hot coming from the water heater, you may have to have the Mixing Valve serviced by a Certified Service Technician. Low flow or cold flow from the XT water heater is a result of corrosion on the seats and/or debris blocking the inlet screen (if equipped) of the mixing valve. When the technician removes the mixing valve, cleans the screen (if equipped), and soaks the valve in a hot white vinegar bath, he will also complete the “Flushing the Tank” procedure as corrosion and sediment from improper “Tank Maintenance” is the cause of this condition.
Altering Dometic Water Heaters
If the water heater has been altered the Warranty will be Void
Use of Aftermarket Heating Element Devices (Hot Rods) can lead to out-of-control heating of water in the tank and catastrophic wet side explosion. These devices lack critical safety controls. Personal injury and product damage may result. Replacing the Dometic drain plug with an Anode Rod will damage the coupling with cathodic action and product damage will result. Dometic water heater tanks are constructed of high-strength aluminum. The interior of the tank consists of a .0015 thick, type 7072 clad aluminum (pure aluminum and zinc) fused to the core in the rolling process. This material protects the tank from the effects of heavy metals and salts found throughout North America. It is anodic to these heavy metals and acts much like an anode in a steel glass-lined tank, except it lasts much longer.
Use of Aftermarket Heating Elements or Anode Devices are not compatible with  Dometic Water Heaters and will void the warranty!

  – The distance between the air inlet and outlet vents must be at least 1050 mm (fig. 3, page 4).
• Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 3 1, page 4) above the refrigerator so that the heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
• The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least 15 mm but no more than 25 mm.
• A distance of more than 25 mm between the refrigerator and rear wall leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator. Reduce the space behind the refrigerator to create adequate air inlet and outlet ventilation (fig. 4, page 4). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.
• If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be met, a roof vent must be installed instead of the air outlet vent.
  – The roof vent should be installed directly above the back of the refrigerator as far as this is possible. Use an air duct (fig. 5 1, page 5) if you need to install the roof vent offset; otherwise, heat will accumulate there.
  – The distance between the air inlet vent and the roof vent must be at least 1350 mm (fig. 5, page 5).
  – If a roof air conditioner is provided, the distance between the roof vent
  (fig. 6 1, page 5) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner (fig. 6 2, page 5) must be at least 300 mm.
• The refrigerator must not be installed at the side of the air inlet and outlet vents as this leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
• The air inlet and outlet vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an open door or by installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
• Install the refrigerator so that it is protected from excessive heat, as this leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator must be installed in a draft-proof location.

Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof location

WARNING! Fire hazard!

• Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar for the draft-proof installation.
• Position the device so that no connection cable is damaged or pinched.
• Do not use multiple sockets or portable power adapters behind the device.

Gas-powered refrigerators in camper vans or mobile homes must be installed in a draft-free location. This means that the combustion air is not extracted from the inte-rior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly entering the living space.
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the interior of the vehicle.

The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation for maintenance purposes.
Select one of the three versions for draft-proof installation (fig. 7, page 6):

Stop bar behind the fridge (A)

• Glue a flexible sealing lip (1) to a stop bar (2) behind the refrigerator (3).
• Push the refrigerator-oven combination against the stop bar with the flexible sealing lips.
• The space behind the refrigerator is sealed to the interior of the vehicle.

Side gap distance of up to 5 mm between refrigerator and furniture (B) 

• Glue the sealing lips (see chapter “Accessories” on page 13) on the side of the furniture (4).
• Push the refrigerator-oven combination against the flexible sealing lips on furniture.
• The space behind the refrigerator is sealed to the interior of the vehicle.

Side gap distance of 5 mm to 10 mm between refrigerator and furniture (C) 

• Glue the double lipped sealing (see chapter “Accessories” on page 13) on the side of the furniture (4).
• Push the refrigerator-oven combination against the double lipped sealing on furniture.
• The space behind the refrigerator is sealed to the interior of the vehicle.

Making air inlet and outlet vents

• Deviations from the inlet and outlet variations shown here must be approved by the manufacturer.
• At high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator can only provide its maximum cooling capacity if the optimum ventilation has been pro-vided.
• Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall with the size of
  – LS230: 315 mm x 373 mm
  – LS330: 249mm x 410mm
  When doing so, observe the information, see chapter “Preparing the installation” on page 15.

If the ventilation grill of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush with the floor of the niche, install an inlet vent in the floor. Any leaking gas can thus flow downwards.

• Make an air inlet vent of at least Ø 40 mm in the floor (fig. 8 1, page 7) behind the refrigerator near the gas burner.
• Shield the outside of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt from getting inside while driving (fig. 8 2, page 7).

If you have to use a roof vent instead of the air outlet vent:

• Cut out a section in the roof. Refer to the roof vent instruction manual for the required dimensions.
  When doing so, observe the information in chapter “Preparing the installation” on page 15.

Installing the ventilation grill

NOTE Use exclusively original Dometic ventilation grills to ensure safe operation.

• Seal the installation frame to make the connection waterproof (fig. 0, page 7).
• Insert the installation frame and screw it down tightly (fig. a, page 7). Use all the fixing holes for this.
• Insert the ventilation grill as shown (fig. b, page 8).

Installing condensation drain

• Condensation can form inside the refrigerator due to frequent door opening, incorrectly stored food or food that is stored when it is too warm.
• Condensation must be drained with a constant slope.

Install the condensation drain as follows:
Variant 1 : Run the condensation hose from the refrigerator through an opening in the floor which goes outside under the vehicle.

Variant 2: 

• Seal the installation frame to make the connection waterproof (fig. e, page 8).
• Insert the installation frame and screw it down tightly (fig. f, page 8). Use all the fixing holes for this.
• Insert the hood and screw it down tightly (fig. g, page 8).

Securing the refrigerator

CAUTION!
Only screw through the receptacles provided, otherwise foamed components, such as cables, can be damaged.

NOTE
Attach the side walls or the attached strips so that the screws are tight, even when under increased loads (while driving).

• Move the refrigerator into its final location.
• Fasten the six screws (fig. h 1, page 9) through the six plastic washers in the sides of the refrigerator, and further into the wall.
• Put the caps (fig. h 2, page 9) onto the screw heads.

KEEP THE KEY OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND NOT IN VICINITY OF THE REFRIGERATOR.

Cleaning

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly at intervals, as necessary. Remove the shelves; these, the cabinet interior and the door should be washed with a warm solution of sodium bi-carbonate. Finally wipe over with a cloth rinsed in warm water only, and dry with a clean cloth. Do not wash any plastic parts in water that is more than hand warm, and do not expose them to dry heat. The outside of the cabinet should be wiped down regularly with a clean, damp cloth.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY PART OF THE CABINET.

Positioning the appliance

When first using this refrigerator please consider the following points:

• ENSURE REFRIGERATOR IS LEVEL
• THE PIPEWORK AT THE BACK GETS HOT IN USE
• THE REFRIGERATOR HAS NO ‘MOTOR’ AND IS THEREFORE VIRTUALLY SILENT
• ALLOW AT LEAST 3 HRS. FOR SIGNS OF COOLING

During the refrigeration process, the appliance gives off heat from the condenser (under the upper part of the rear cover) into the surrounding air. The more ventilated the condenser is, the more effective the refrigeration will be.

• The other condition for satisfactory operation is that the appliance stands on a flat surface. This is best seen by placing a glass of water on top of the appliance.
• It is important that the appliance is not directly exposed to radiated heat (sunlight, radiator, near an oven, etc.).

Installation instructions

The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

IMPORTANT
Please follow the installation details below carefully Guarantee is valid for products installed as described only.

1. The refrigerator must be level both directions
2. There should be 20 mm clearance to the wall
3. Ventilation must be provided as shown in alternatives A, B, C or D (fig 2-3)
4. The ventilation duct must at least measure 105 mm x the width of the refrigerator
5. Only the entire cooling unit must project into the duct as shown
6. Air passing through the duct must not be preheated by any source of heat
7. Ventilation grills, if used, must have openings of at least 200cm2 each
8. For glass door version ,when ambient humidity is above 65percent in 25degree ambient temperature,the fog will emerge.
   NOTE: no front cabinet door for glass door version.

The refrigerator can be fixed to the bottom of the furniture through its fixing feet using screws of an appropiate length. (Fig. 4)
During installation, please ensure the mains plug is accessible at all times.

Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator,connect the plug to the socket outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins should show signs of cooling after about 3 hours. The refrigerator needs about 6 hours at normal ambient temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage compartment.

Temperature regulation

The usual setting required is in the rigion that is between max. and min. on the thermostat knob(Fig.5).
The knob can be turned to max. to produce a colder temperature or the min. to produce a warmer temperature and lower energy consumption.

• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct sunlight.
• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.
• Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
• If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling capacity for the cooler unit,turn the knob to min..

Cooling Unit Contro (CUC)

The electronics carry out a CUC test after every defrosting period (every 24 hrs) by measuring the temperature at the evaporator by means of a second sensor.
If the electronics detect a malfunction, the miniBar is automatically switched off.

Thermo fuse
One version of minibar has no CUC function but a thermo fuse on the back to protect the cooling unit against over heating.

Useful suggestion

Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisable to leave some space between the products in the cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the shelves are packed too tightly there may be unacceptable temperature variations.

Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces.

This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY LOGIC system built into the appliance by switching off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. The frost will melt and the defrost water will run through the drain tube from the drip channel into an evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator.( Fig.6) The defrost water will evaporate automatically into the circulating air and the vessel will not need emptying manually.
If you want to switch off the unit, disconnect the refrigerator from the electricity supply and leave the cabinet door open. After defrosting the cabinet interior should be wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.

Changing the lightbulb (If available)

If the lightbulb needs changing,proceed as follows:

1. Pull the plug out of the power socket.
2. Remove the light cover and unscrew down the light plate.
3. Take the light plate out of the case and replace it with a new one that has the same rating
4. Re-assemble the case in the reverse order. A new 10-watt bulb can be obtained at ometic.
