if it has been tripped.  Refer to the Air 
Conditioner manual for warranty and service 
information.

 

 

Microwave Range Hood Combination

 

The microwave has a built in hood fan that vents to 
the outside (Figure 2.8).  The range hood may be 
cleaned with soap 
and water.  The 
aluminum filter 
should be 
periodically 
removed and 
washed in soap and 
water, allowed to 
dry, and then 
reinstalled. Reset 
the filter status after replacing and/or cleaning 
filters. Refer to the Microwave Oven Care section 
of the owners manual in this packet for proper 
operating instructions and warranty service 
information

 

 

Water Pump Switch / Monitor Panel

 

 

Water Pump Switch

 – The water pump switch 

(located on the monitor panel) (Figure 2.9)  will 
activate the water pump.  The pump may be left 
on while camping; it will automatically cycle 
when water is 
needed.  Born 
Free Motorcoach 
recommends 
turning the water 
pump switch off 
when traveling or 
when leaving the 
motorcoach.  In 
the event of a leak 
in the water system, turning the pump switch off 
may reduce damage to the motorcoach.

 

 

Monitor Panel

 – Pressing the individual 

buttons on the monitor panel (Figure 2.9) will 
identify the level of that item.  The panel can be 
used to monitor levels of the black waste 
holding tank, the gray water holding tank, the 
fresh water holding tank, the LP tank, and the 
charge condition of the auxiliary battery.

 

 

TV/DVD

 

Born Free installs several brands of premium LED 

HD TV’s; consult the manufacturer’s owner’s 
manual in this packet for proper operating 
instructions and warranty service information.

 

 

Interior Maintenance 

 

Carpet, upholstery, curtains, and shades should be 
vacuumed regularly.  If the curtains need to be 
cleaned, they should be dry cleaned.  Carpet spot 
remover may be used to remove stains and soiled 
spots from furniture and carpet.  Always read and 
follow the instructions of any cleaning product.
