Environmental hints
Refrigerators manufactured by Dometic contain neither CFC/HCFC nor HFC.
Ammonia (a natural compound of hydrogen and nitrogen) is used in the cooling unit

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

At an average ambient temperature of approx. 25°C, it is sufficient to operate the
refrigerator at the middle thermostat setting (for both gas and mains voltage).
Where possible, always store goods that have previously been cooled.
Do not position the refrigerator in direct sunlight.
Constant circulation of air must be supplied to the refrigerator unit.
Defrost regularly.
Open the door only for a short time when removing goods from the refrigerator.
Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours before filling it.
