Safety instructions when
storing foodstuffs
Instructions for storing food in
a refrigerator:
No refrigerator of any kind can improve the
quality of the food; refrigerators can only
maintain the food’s quality for a short duration
as from the time of storing it.
Please observe the following particular
conditions for storing food in a refrigerator that
is built into a vehicle:
• A change in the climatic conditions such as
temperature fluctuations
• High temperatures inside the vehicle when
it is closed and parked in direct sunlight
(temperatures are possible up to 50°C)
• Use of the refrigerator during travel with the
power supply of 12V DC
• A refrigerator built in behind a window and
exposed to direct sunlight
• Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly
after starting up the appliance for use
Under these particular conditions the
refrigerator cannot guarantee reaching the
temperature needed for perishables.
Perishables include all products with a
stipulated use-by date and a minimum storage
temperature of +4°C or less, especially for
meat, poultry, fish, sausages, pre-packed
foods.
• Pack raw and cooked foods separately (e.g.
in containers, aluminium foil, etc.).
• Only remove the outside packaging of single
packs if all the necessary information, e.g.
the use-by date, can also be read on the
single packs.
• Do not leave cooled goods outside the
refrigerator for too long.
• Place the foods with the next use-by date at
the front, accordingly.
• Pack away any left-over food and eat at the
first opportunity.
• Wash your hands before and after handling
any food.
• Regularly clean the inside of the refrigerator.
Please observe the instructions and
information regarding the use-by date on the
outside packaging of the food.
Please observe section “Cleaning” of this
instruction.

1 - Model Number
2 - Product Number
3 - Serial Number

The cooling unit’s performance is influenced
by ambient temperatures. Please select the
medium setting for ambient temperatures
b15°C and +25°C (refer to Setting
of cooling compartment temperature.) The
unit operates within its optimum performance
range.
Dometic refrigerators work according to the
absorption principle. For physical reasons,
an absorption system responds slowly to
