2 Safety instructions
!WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
Explosion hazard
• Never open the absorber unit. It is under high pressure and can cause
injury if it is opened.
•Only operate the device at the pressure shown on the type plate.
Only use pressure controllers with a fixed setting which comply with
the national regulations (in Europe EN 12864).
Fire hazard
• Ensure clean and residue-free handling if silicon sealant or similar is
used. There is a risk of fire if silicone filaments come into contact with
hot parts or naked flames.
• Never use a naked flame to check the device for leaks.
• Only use propane or butane gas (not natural gas).
Health hazard
• Do not operate the device if it is visibly damaged.
• If the AC power cable for this device is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, a service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to prevent safety hazards.
• This device may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Inadequate
repairs may cause serious hazards.
Risk of asphyxiation
• Dismantle all device doors for the disposal of the old device and leave
the shelves in the device to prevent accidental enclosure and suffoca-
tion.
NOTICE!
Indicates a situation that, if not avoided, can result in property damage.

!CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Electrical shock
• Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the
plug are dry.
Risk of crushing
• Do not put your fingers into the hinge.
ANOTICE! Damage hazard
• Only hold the device at the body of the device during transport. Never
hold the device at the absorber unit, the cooling fins, the gas pipes,
the door or the control panel.
• Make sure that the device circuit is not damaged during
transportation. The refrigerant in the device circuit is highly
flammable.
In the event of any damage to the device circuit (smell of ammonia):
– Switch off the device if applicable.
– Avoid naked flames and sparks.
– Air the room well.
• Do not install the device near naked flames or other heat sources (heat-
ers, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).
•Danger of overheating!
Always ensure sufficient ventilation so that the heat generated during
operation can dissipate. Make sure that the device is sufficiently far
away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.
• Check that the voltage specification on the type plate is the same as
that of the power supply.
• Do not open the refrigerant circuit under any circumstances.
• Only use the AC connection cable supplied to connect the device to
the AC mains.
• Only use cables with a suitable size.
• Never pull the plug out of the socket by the connection cable.
• The device may not be exposed to rain.

5 Intended use
The refrigerator is designed for installation in caravans or motorhomes. It is only suit-
able for cooling, freezing and storing foodstuffs. The refrigerator is not intended for
the proper storage of medicine.
The refrigerator is designed to be operated on a DC power supply and an AC socket
and can be powered by liquid gas (propane or butane). The refrigerator may not be
run on natural gas or city gas. The RM5385 refrigerator also always requires a perma-
nent DC supply.
This product is only suitable for the intended purpose and application in accordance
with these instructions.
This manual provides information that is necessary for proper installation and/or
operation of the product. Poor installation and/or improper operating or mainte-
nance will result in unsatisfactory performance and a possible failure.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any injury or damage to the product
resulting from:
• Incorrect assembly or connection, including excess voltage
• Incorrect maintenance or use of spare parts other than original spare parts
provided by the manufacturer
• Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in this manual
Dometic reserves the right to change product appearance and product
specifications.
6 Installing the refrigerator
6.1 Preparing the installation
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
• To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not exceed an
angle of 3°.
Park the vehicle on a level surface with the help of a spirit level.
• The refrigerator must be installed so that it is easily accessible for service work,
easy to de-install and install and can be easily removed from the vehicle.
• The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be min. 15 mm –
max. 25 mm (fig. 3, page 5).
DometicRM53xx_INM_4445102229_EMEA(en-de-fr-nl)_20xx-xx-xx.book Seite 19 Dienstag, 30. März 2021 10:54 10

Installing the refrigerator RM5310, RM5330, RM5380

• The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the following dimensions here (H x W x D in mm, fig. 1,
page 3):
–RM5310: 618 x 486 x 474
–RM5330: 821 x 486 x 474
–RM5380: 821 x 486 x 474
• The outer wall must be fitted with an air inletvent (fig. 22, page 4)and an outlet
vent (fig. 23, page 4) with ventilation grilles so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit the ventilation grille as flush as possible underneath the
burner lid (fig. 21, page 4) with a minimum cross-section of 250 cm2.
– Outlet vent: fit above the refrigerator as far as possible. A ventilation grille
with integrated flue duct can also be used here.
• If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the ground,
an additional inlet vent (fig. 25, page 4) must be provided in the floor for
releasing leaked gas.
• For the RM5380 refrigerators, an air inlet vent (fig. 25, page 4) must always be
installed in the floor.
• The air vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an open door or by
installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
• There must be sufficient space at the back of the refrigerator for the air to be able
to circulate around the cooling element.
• Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 24, page 4) above the refrigerator so that the
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
• Install the refrigerator so that it is protected from excessive heat, as this leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
• The electrical installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standards: EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 and EN 1648-2.
• The gas installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standard: EN 1949.
• The refrigerator must be installed in a draught-proof location in accordance with
EN 1949, see chapter “Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location” on
page 21.
