Fridge Usage
The cold air in the fridge is heavier than the ambient air and falls out
when you open the door. So do not leave the door open more than you have
to.
Lighting Fridge
If fridge will not stay alight when releasing the gas knob, try removing
knob, and then light the fridge. If this works, try again with the knob
back on.
Portable gas fridges
Must NOT be used on GAS in motor vehicles
and boats
Boats: Sea, Narrow and Cabin cruisers
We can not sell to narrow boats due to strict regulations, other boats
can have standard gas fridges fitted, but would not be covered under the
Dometic warranty.
Vent Size - Beware small vehicles
such as VW Type 2 and split screens
The standard vent L100/L200 size is 479 x 185mm with a cut out needed of
451mm * 156mm, but the top vent does include space for the gas flue.
Fridge Flue -
As you look at the front of the fridge
RM122 / RM123 - the flue is on the right
All other current RM models - the flue is on the left
Double door fridge freezers's such as RMD8501
require a larger vent (L300) size 518mm x 278mm.
RM122
/ RM123 Camping fridges
If replacing an old Electrolux RM122 or RM123, you must be aware that
the flue has changed sides. Looking at the front of the fridge on the
new Dometic (formerly Electrolux) RM122 or RM123 the flue is on the right hand side.
Seitz
Heki Rooflight
99% of caravans have a roof thickness of 25-42mm, but it is always best
to check with your caravan supplier first.
'Fixed ventilation' is for caravans and 'without fixed ventilation' is
for motorhomes, as Fixed ventilation will cause a whistling noise whilst
driving
Extreme care must be taken when measuring rooflights for correct size, as
they are non returnable.
Seitz
Blinds
Seitz Blinds Can be reduced in length, but not width. All Seitz blinds are
held in stock with obriens. Extreme care must be taken when measuring windows
and blinds for correct size, as they are non returnable.
Seitz Caravan
motorhome Windows
If fitting a Seitz window to a motorhome or camper van sliding door
allow for the enough clearance for the inner blind frame and catch. The
seitz window inner blind frame is 30mm thick and the catch is just under
20mm. You will need to allow for more than 50mm clearance on your camper
van motorhome sliding door.
Windows over 1000mm wide have 2 extra catches
