Refrigerator: Climate Control Heater / Low Ambient Switch

CLIMATE CONTROL HEATER

During the summer months of high temperatures and humidity, the metal frame between the freezer and fresh food compartments may have water droplets forming. The number of water droplets will increase if the vehicle isn’t air-conditioned during these months. This refrigerator comes standard with a 12 volt (DC) climate control that will evaporate the water droplets when they form.

To have the climate control on, you position the switch (“F” see figure 2) located beneath the top decoration panel that houses the control panel to ON. The climate control can be left on continuously or only used when temperatures require it.

NOTE: The climate control will draw 12 volts DC power continuously when in the ON position. It should be turned OFF when a charging source is not available.

LOW AMBIENT SWITCH

All RV absorption refrigerators, while similar, operate a little differently than your home refrigerator. Dometic designers and engineers have equipped your refrigerator with an exclusive feature that allows for trouble-free operation in low ambient temperature (like below 50°F) for extended periods of time. Simply turn on the low ambient switch located beneath the top decoration panel that houses the control panel (see figure 2, “G”). Once the outdoor temperature is above 50°F, the low ambient switch should be turned off.
