Storing Food; Freezer Compartment - Dometic RM 7401 Mode D'emploi

5.2.5 Temperature setting cooling compartment
The cooling unit's performance is influenced by ambient temperatures.
Please select the medium setting for ambient temperatures between
T T I I P P
+15°C and +25°C. The unit operates within its optimum performance range.
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 require-
ments 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 refrige-
rator.
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 hindran-
ce (see also section 6.3 "Ventilation and air extraction") .
5.3.2

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.

WARNING
As shown, you are able to regulate the temperature of
the cooling compartment, if necessary, by turning
rotary knob (B) .
