Dometic RM10 plastic smell on first gas run

Use this only for a brand-new RM10 with a plastic or paint smell during the first gas-mode run and no gas, ammonia, smoke, or electrical odor.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Confirm this is a brand-new first-use situation, not gas odor, ammonia odor, smoke, or an electrical smell.
  • Open a window and monitor the refrigerator during the brief first gas-mode run Dometic describes.
  • Stop the appliance and call service if the odor persists, returns, or seems like gas, ammonia, smoke, or an electrical fault.
