🧊 Pack it right – chill it better: Maximize your fridge's cooling performance

Absorption fridges work differently than compressor fridges – and that means they also need to be used differently. Many campers underestimate how much proper loading can improve cooling. With these tips – especially when using the AbsorberFan – you’ll get the best out of your fridge.

🥶 Always pre-chill your groceries

Adding warm drinks, raw meat or unpacked groceries directly into the fridge? Bad idea. Absorption fridges take much longer to cool them down.

Our tip:
Buy chilled items whenever possible or pre-cool them at home. Leave space near the cooling fins at the top – and place new items there first to cool them down quickly before storing them lower down.

🌬️ Airflow is essential

Absorber fridges rely on natural air circulation. If the air can't move freely, temperature differences of up to 3°C from top to bottom can occur.

• Leave space at the back wall
• Don’t overload the shelves
• Place large items to the side

🔥 Full power, always

The heating element always runs at full capacity. The temperature setting only controls how often it cycles on and off – not how strong it cools.

AbsorberFan advantage:
More airflow = faster cooling = shorter runtimes = less gas consumption.

✅ Summary

• Use only pre-chilled items
• Never pack it full – air needs space
• Top shelf = coldest zone
• Turn on AbsorberFan at the start of your trip
• Automatic mode: saves gas overnight, boosts cooling in the heat

💨 Save gas with smart ventilation

The AbsorberFan optimizes fridge conditions by efficiently removing warm air and distributing cold air evenly – saving up to 40% gas.

🔧 Understand the tech – apply it right – stay cool

AbsorberFan brings out the best in your Dometic or Thetford fridge – easily and automatically.
