Operating Instructions for the Dometic RV Refrigerator RM2652

RV refrigerators are smaller than household refrigerators to fit in the space available. Dometic manufactures refrigerators especially for RVs. The RM2652 appliance has two modes of operation. The gas mode operates the cooling system with gas. The automatic mode detects the presence of electricity and operates electrically, then switches to gas operation when there is no electricity to the vehicle. This mode keeps your items in the refrigerator cold whether you are parked and hooked into an electric pole or traveling on the road between locations.
