Dometic RUA 6508X 3 Way 180 Litre Dual Hinge Fridge & Freezer
The Dometic RUA 6508X is an upright 3-way absorption fridge that is different to the other 3-way fridges you may have seen courtesy of its tall yet narrow design. This makes it a suitable flexible option for your kitchen without compromising on storage space, with a generous 180L storage capacity which includes shelving in both the fridge and freezer door compartments. The narrow design also makes installation easy as you can easily fit it through your vans door, rather than having to remove a window for access.

The T-rated cooling systems ensure excellent performance in both high and low ambient temperatures, making these refrigerators an excellent choice for all conditions. The built-in control panel is intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to select a temperature range and a variety of preset modes. Each model features double hinge opening giving you the convenience to open from either left or right at any time

Absorption 3 way refrigerators need to be installed and certified by a qualified and licensed gas-fitter, as improperly or illegally installed products will void the manufacturer’s warranty, and could pose a safety risk.
-
While 3 way absorption fridges have the ability to run off 3 different power sources (12V / 240V / Gas), they are primarily designed with gas operation in mind; they provide exceptional efficiency when running on gas. However for 12 Volt operation, this is only recommended with absorption fridges when the vehicle is running, otherwise it can exhaust your 12 volt power source (battery) very quickly.

How do I deactivate the child-lock in my RUA/RUC model refrigerator?

Temporarily Override the Child-lock:
- First push the control knob 3 times within 1.5 seconds
- The lock will be reactive again after 10 seconds without touching the control knob
Permanently Deactivate the Child-lock:
- Start with doing a temporarily override, after that simply turn off the child lock in the settings menu
-
Does the RUA model only work on gas mode?
The battery save mode available on the RUA models will allow the refrigerator to operate in gas mode only if activated. The exterior fan and frame heater will also be deactivated in this mode. Consideration of the ambient temperature needs to be made if this setting is to be selected.
-

I want to run my absorption on 12v power source, is this ok?
An absorption 3-way fridge is designed to be run on gas as a power source. This means that gas will be the most efficient power source.
It is only recommended to use the 12-volt setting on an absorption fridge when the vehicle is running. Otherwise, the 12-volt can exhaust the power source (the battery) very fast. It is important to remember this when you have parked and turned off your vehicle!
-
I’m looking for a Caravan Fridge: would you recommend an absorption (gas) fridge, or a compressor (12v) fridge?
This depends on what you expect of your trip and what is important for you.
Choose an absorption fridge if:
- You are free camping for extended periods.
- You want a fridge to run from your gas bottle.
Free campers often choose a 3-way model so that they do not have to worry about enough battery power during their prolonged trips away. However, remember that they are not designed to be running on 12V for an extended period, it is only for while the vehicle is running.
Choose a compressor fridge if:
- You prefer consistent cooling capacity on your fridge.
- You require a fridge with high efficiency on battery power.
- You will require an efficient cooling capacity in hot climate.
The leading brand within compressor fridges are Dometic Waeco, Bushman, Evakool and Engel. All these brands are high quality RV fridges that can provide a desired temperature quickly.
We have found that compressor fridges are becoming more trendier compare to the absorption fridge. Many of our customers choose to replace their old 3-way absorption fridge to a new 12V compressor fridge. With today�s improvements in solar and battery performance, you can run your 12V compressor fridge very efficiently and will keep your food & drinks very cool.
