Dometic RM2350, Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

5

The supply pipe should  be of copper. If other material is used,

it must be of a type approved for use with continuously operat-

ing bottle-gas appliances and have threaded connections throu- 
ghout.

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 ap-
proved for use with bottle-gas.

The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas valve at 
the top of the refrigerator, by means of a suitable threaded 
coupling.

The gas valve is furnished with an ISO 7/1 - Rp 1/8 internal 
pipe thread connection.

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readily withdrawn.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. 

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:

Start the refrigerator.

1. 

Check that the gas flame is lit which can be ob-

2. 

served on the flame indicator 

E

. The red indicator 

is in the green field, (ON).

Close the gas valve by turning the knob

 back to 

“OFF” position.

Wait for one minute.

4. 

Remove burner cover plate.

5. 

Open the gas valve by turning knob

 and 

D

. 

Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solution 

7. 

to the burner jet.

No bubbles should appear at the opening of the 

8. 

burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a de-
fective gas safety shutoff, and service is required. 
If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas 
safety valve is working properly. 

Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before pro-

9. 

ceeding. Be careful not to damage the burner jet.

Replace cover and turn the main switch OFF and 

10. 

back ON. 

Normal operation of the burner should return. 

11. 

Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5 
minutes. 

     WARNING

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

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 Volt AC
receptacle

4 - 6”
(100-
150 mm)

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 
refrigerator power cord into an easily accessible wall socket.

Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they can-
not come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigera-
tor.

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 con-
necting wires between battery and refrigerator must be at 
least 6 mm

.

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 sub-

stitute 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.
