As already shown, with rotary knob (B) the temperature in the
cooling compartment can be regulated as necessary.

The cooling unit’s performance is influenced by ambient temperatures.
At ambient temperatures of +15°C up to +25°C, set the knob B to the
middle position. The cooling unit works with optimal performance.

Dometic refrigerators work according to the absorption principle.
Due to physical reasons, an absorption system responds slowly to changes
made on the thermostat controller, or a loss in cooling through opening the
door, or storing food. The devices fulfill the cooling performance requirements
of the Climatic Class SN acc. to EN/ISO 7371 in the temperature range of +10°C
to 32°C ambient temperature.

Storing food
5.3.1
General advices
Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours before filling it.
Always store pre-cooled foods in the refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
When taking food out of the refrigerator only open the refrigerator door very briefly.
Foods must be packed - best of all in closed containers - and stored separately from
each other.
Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool down before storing.
Products that could emit volatile, flammable gases must not be stored in the refrigera-
tor.
Store quickly perishable foods directly next to the cooling fins.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Please bear in mind that the
tem- perature inside a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to sunlight and that
this can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator..
The air around the cooling unit MUST be able to circulate freely without any hindrance
(see also section 6.3 "Ventilation and air extraction") .
Freezer compartment
Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.
The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term
storage of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.
When ambient temperatures are lower than +10°C an even regulation of freezer
temperature cannot be guaranteed, if the refrigerator is exposed to these tem-
peratures for a long period of time. This can cause the temperature in the free-
zer to rise and the stored goods to defrost.
