gned for the type and diameter of the connection pipe used, and screwed joints should be sealed with a joining compound approved for use with bottled gas.

The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet pipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by means of a suitable threaded compression coupling.

In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock of an approved type bottled-gas must be incorpora- ted in the supply line in a position which is readily acces- sible to the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 230VAC

Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as the mains voltage in use (230 V).

Plug the 230 V refrigerator power cord into an easily accessible wall socket.

Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator.

12 V Supplies

Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery by a direct cable. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of the connecting cable between battery and refrigerator must be at least 2.5 mm² if the distance is less than 9 meters, and at least 4 mm² if the distance is more than 9 meters. To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at max. 16 A.

To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when the vehicle engine is not running, for example by fitting an ignition control relay.

Diagramme for the mains installation: FIG.1

Diagramme for the 12 V installation: FIG.2

The notations in the wiring diagramme are: A. Electronic igniter/reigniter

B. Electrode (at burner) C. 12 V heating element D. Switch for 12 V operation

E. Switch for reigniter (gas op.) F. Electric thermostat

G. Heating element, 240 V H. Switch for 240 V operation J. Terminal block

L. Terminal block

12 V supply of reigniter

FIG.2 shows the wiring diagramme of the refrigerator as delivered. The 12 V supply enters at (L). The reigniter (A) is fed via two wires (1) and (2) at terminal block (L).

It is advisable to feed the reigniter and the lighting from a separate 12 V source. To do this: remove the wires (1) and (2) and connect the supply as is shown in FIG.3.

In some executions there in an extra terminal block (J),

of FIG.2. In this case one disconnects the wires as said above but connects the separate supply to

(J).The reigniter should not be connected directly to a battery charger but only over a battery.

The absorption process utilizes a combination of heat, typically provided by propane gas or electric power, to create a chilling effect that is both effective and energy-efficient.

Both the RM 4361DM and RM 4361NDM models offer a generous cooling capacity, ensuring that users can store ample food and beverages during their travels. With a total capacity of around 3.6 cubic feet, they are well-suited for weekends away or extended trips, providing ample space for perishable items and drinks. The adjustable shelves and door compartments ensure that users can organize their items for easy access.

In terms of energy efficiency, both models have been designed to minimize power consumption. They can operate on different power sources, including 12V DC, 110V AC, and propane gas, making them adaptable to various setups, whether you’re off-grid or docked at a campground. This versatility allows users to choose the power source that best suits their needs and circumstances at any given time.

The RM 4361DM features a sleek and modern design that complements any RV or boat interior. The stainless steel finish not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also enhances durability, making it capable of withstanding the rigors of travel.

Moreover, the user-friendly controls simplify the operation of the refrigerator, allowing users to effortlessly set and adjust the temperature as needed. The automatic energy selection feature intelligently chooses the most efficient energy source available, further enhancing convenience.

In conclusion, the Dometic RM 4361DM and RM 4361NDM are excellent choices for those seeking reliable, efficient, and adaptable refrigeration solutions for their mobile lifestyles. With their impressive cooling capacity, energy efficiency, and modern design, these refrigerators are set to enhance any outdoor experience.
