Safety Instructions When Storing Foodstuffs - Dometic RMDT 8501 Notice D'utilisation

2.7 Safety instructions when
storing foodstuffs
No refrigerator of any kind can improve the
quality of the food; refrigerators can only
maintain the food's quality for a short dura-
tion 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:
n
A change in the climatic conditions such as
temperature fluctuations
n
High temperatures inside the vehicle when
it is closed and parked in direct sunlight
(temperatures are possible up to 50°C)
n
Use of the refrigerator during travel with the
power supply of 12V DC
n
A refrigerator built in behind a window and
exposed to direct sunlight
n
Storing the products too soon, i.e. shortly
after starting up the appliance for use
Under these particular conditions the refrige-
rator cannot guarantee reaching the tempera-
ture needed for perishables.
Perishables include all products with a stipula-
ted use-by date and a minimum storage tem-
perature of +4°C or less, especially for meat,
poultry, fish, sausages, pre-packed foods.
n
Pack raw and cooked foods separately
(e.g. in containers, aluminium foil, etc.).
n
Only remove the outside packaging of sin-
gle packs if all the necessary information,
e.g. the use-by date, can also be read on
the single packs.
n
Do not leave cooled goods outside the
refrigerator for too long.
n
Place the foods with the next use-by date
at the front, accordingly.
n
Pack away any left-over food and eat at the
first opportunity.
n
Wash your hands before and after handling
any food.
n
Regularly clean the inside of the refrigera-
tor.
Please observe the instructions and informati-
on regarding the use-by date on the outside
packaging of the food.
Please observe section "4.1 Cleaning" of this
instruction.

The cooling unit's performance is influenced
by ambient temperatures. Please select the
medium setting for ambient temperatures
between +15°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
changes made by the thermostat controller,
by loss of cooling energy through opening the
door or during storing food. The devices meet
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.
For temperatures below +10°C, winter
covers should be installed. For ambient
temperatures exceeding +32°C for a lon-
ger period of time, it is recommended
installing Dometic additional fan ( item no.
241 2985 - 01 ).
