Appliances
1. I am planning for a trip in my Airstream. How
should I get the refrigerator cooled down?
Answer: The best practice would be to connect
the shoreline to a home outlet and turn the Volta
System on� This way the battery is charging while the
refrigerator cools down� Set the thermostat between 3
and 4� You can make further adjustments to suit your
personal requirements after the box has cooled down�
Allow the refrigerator to come down to temperature
before loading with product� Setting the thermostat
to a higher setting, e�g� 7, will not decrease the
time required for the unit to cool down to its normal
operating temperature� AC/DC units cool at the same
rate on DC as on AC� Normal refrigerator operating
temperatures are 34ºF to 40ºF�
2. If I’m driving to my destination, will my
refrigerator stay on?
Answer: If you press the Battery Power On/Off
pushbutton, and turn ON the Volta System, yes�
3. My air conditioner freezes up. What is the
problem?
Answer: In high humidity conditions, the AC
manufacturer recommends you operate your AC
(manual mode) on the high fan setting and all vents
should be open to have maximum air flow over the
coils; this helps reduce icing. Also, dirty AC filters can
restrict air flow and cause the AC to ice up.
Maintenance
1. Can I have my awning out with heavy winds?
Answer: No this may cause damage if it is too windy�
However, the awning does have a built in sensor that
will automatically retract the awning�
2. I want to clean the exterior of my Airstream.
What do you suggest?
Answer: Airstream recommends washing the Interstate
using a mild, auto detergent, safe for clear coated
surfaces� Airstream recommends washing based on
operating conditions, and waxing a minimum of twice
a year. Any automotive wax designed specifically
for clear coated surfaces will provides good wax
protection�
