General Information

  1. The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the RV. Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain and improve the performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by:
    • Parking the RV in a shaded area.
    • Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains).
    • Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing usage.
    • Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances.Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high outside temperatures. Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving it a "head start" on the expected high outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor temperature. For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accessories like Dometic outdoor patio and window awnings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.
  2. The manufacturer of this air conditioner will not be responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture on ceilings or other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air enters the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. During normal operation, this unit removes moisture from the air. Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on cold surfaces. 

Maintenance 

Air Filter - Periodic (a minimum of every 2 weeks of operation) remove the return air filter located behind the return air grill and wash the filter with soap and warm water. Let dry and then reinstall. NEVER run the air conditioner without the air filter in place. This may plug the unit evaporator coil with dirt and substantially degrade the performance of the unit over time.

Dometic Single Zone LCD thermostat: Clean the Single Zone LCD thermostat with a moist soft cloth. DO NOT spray water directly on the Single Zone LCD thermostat. DO NOT use solvents for cleaning.

Service

In the unlikely event the unit fails to operate or operates improperly, check the following before calling your service center.

  1. If your RV is connected to a motor generator, check to be sure the motor generator is running and producing power.
  2. If the RV is connected to a power supply by a land line, check to be sure the line is sized properly to run air conditioner load and it is plugged into the power supply.
  3. Check your 120 VAC fuse or circuit breaker to see if it is open.
  4. Check your 12 VDC fuse or circuit breaker to see if it is open.
  5. After the above checks, call your local service center for further help. This unit must be serviced by qualified service personnel only.

When calling for service, always give the following:

  1. Air conditioner/heat pump Model Number and Serial Number found on Identification Label located on the Base Pan of the unit. It is necessary to remove the return air cover to expose the rating plate.
  2. Electronic Control Kit Part Number and Serial Number found on Identification Label located on the side of the Kit. This kit is mounted in the return air cavity and can be exposed by removing the return air cover.
