Environmental notices

Refrigerators manufactured by Dometic are
free of CFC/HCFC and HFC. Ammonia (a
natural compound of hydrogen and nitrogen)
is used in the cooling unit as a coolant. Non-
ozone-hazardous cyclopentane is used as a
propellant for manufacturing PU foam insulati-
on.

1.9.1 Disposal

In order to ensure that the recyclable packa-
ging materials are re-used, they should be
sent to the customary local collection system.
The appliance should be transferred to a suit-
able waste disposal company that will ensure
re-use of the recyclable components and pro-
per disposal of the rest. For eco-friendly drai-
ning of the coolant from all absorber refrigera-
tion units, a suitable disposal plant should be
used.

1.9.2 Energy-saving-tips

At an average ambient temperature of
77°F (25°C), it is sufficient to operate the
refrigerator at middle thermostat setting.
Where possible, always store precooled
products.
Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight.
Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed.
Defrosting at regular intervals saves energy
( see section 4.16 "Defrosting").
Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
Run the refrigerator for about 12 hours
before filling it.
