Dometic RC1700 EGP, Operating Instructions Manual

To turn on  (Fig. 1)

Turn thermostat knob (A) clockwise to position 7/MAX. Only after
approximately 1 hour will the unit become noticably cool (frost on
evaporator).

The temperature can be regulated using the thermostat knob: '0'=off, 1-
7 increasing degrees of coolness.

After sufficient cooling (approximately 5 hours), the thermostat position
can be set to a lower temperature, between 2-5. The thermostat will now
automatically regulate the set temperature.

To turn off  (Fig. 1)

Turn thermostat knob (A) anticlockwise to position '0' (a slight resistance
will be felt just before this position).

Pull out mains plug.

7. D/C operation

Do not use any additional form of energy (mains/gas). A safety fuse must be
installed in the electricity supply between battery and refrigerator in a duct.

12 V: maximum 15 amps.

It is not necessary to consider the polarity when connecting the unit. Check
that the battery voltage corresponds with the line-voltage data on the
cooling unit type-plate. If no battery is used independently of the vehicle, the
cooling unit is only to be used when the vehicle is in motion, since, when the
engine is not running, the battery can discharge to such an extent that the
engine will not restart.

Recommendation:

Before a journey, pre-cool the unit using the supply

voltage.

To turn on

The car plug fitted to the connecting cable is to be plugged into the
socket/cigar lighter (car plugs are not supplied with every model).

When using battery operation, the cooling performance is not
thermostatically regulated, i.e. knob (A) is ineffective.

When knob (A) is ineffective or if the temperature is unnecessarily too low:
