LIMP MODE OF OPERATION
This control system contains a feature where it will
continue to operate the cooling system in the event of a
failure of a major operating component. Two different
modes of operation can occur in this category.
If for some reason the display module becomes non
functional, the control system will revert to full automatic
operation selecting the best energy source available
with AC, GAS priority. The temperature of the refrigerator
will be maintained at the MID position within normal
temperature tolerances. The power module will continu-
ally attempt to reestablish operation of the display mod-
ule.
The second limp mode of operation will execute when a
failure of the temperature sensing device or associated
electronic circuitry occurs. If this should occur, the con-
trol system will operate on the energy source selected
via the control panel. The cooling unit will run contin-
uously on the selected energy source. The refrigerator
will continue to operate in this mode indefinitely or until
a new sensor is installed and the system is reset.
HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and
unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the re-
quired low temperature for food storage. Consequently,
foods having a strong odor or those that absorb odors
easily should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc. should
be covered to retain their crispness. The coldest posi-
tions in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at
the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on
the upper door shelves. This should be considered when
placing different types of food in the refrigerator.
When the refrigerator is heavily loaded, it will take a
longer time to lower the temperature; therefore, to get
maximum efficiency the refrigerator and food items
should be pre-cooled prior to loading. The shelves
should not be covered with paper or plastic, and the food
items should be arranged so air can circulate freely.
Two door shelves are equipped with fingers. The fingers
are designed to prevent large containers (1/2 gallon milk
or juice) from shifting or spilling while traveling.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
COMPARTMENT
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed
in the coldest part of the compartment, which is on the
top freezer shelf. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in
any part of the compartment.
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick
freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared,
can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment
provided they are pre-cooled first in the refrigerator. They
can be stored about three times longer in the frozen food
compartment as compared to the fresh food compart-
ment. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered
dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum
foil.
Total Refrigerated Volume 9.2 cu. ft.
ICE MAKING
HOW TO OPERATE THE ICE MAKER
The refrigerator has to be connected to 120 volts AC
before the ice maker can operate. The water valve
supplying the refrigerator must be turned on and the ice
level bail arm in fully down position. See FIG. 12.
Turn on the ice maker switch "G" (see FIG. 2), starting
the compressor. The compressor operation lower the
temperature in the ice maker compartment. When the
ice maker thermostat senses the preset temperature for
ejection of the ice cubes, the fingers will start to rotate
dumping any ice cubes and filling the mold with water.
When storage container is full of ice, the ice level bail
arm can not return to the down position. This will stop
further production of ice until the container is emptied
and the bail arm is returned to the start position.
The compressor will still function and keep the ice maker
compartment at the proper temperature for storage of
ice.
To prevent water from splashing out of the ice maker
while traveling, raise the ice maker bail arm to the up
position (see FIG. 12) about 1 1/2 hours before depar-
ting. This will allow any water in the mold to freeze.
NOTE: IF THE ICE MAKER WAS CLEANED AND
DRAINED, NO ICE CUBES WILL BE DUMPED INTO
THE STORAGE CONTAINER DURING THE FIRST
CYCLE.
The first few cycles may have small cubes due to air
trapped in the water lines. The first container of ice
cubes should be dumped if the water system has
been winterized or not used for several weeks.
HOW TO ADJUST SIZE OF ICE CUBES
If the ice maker has run through several cycles and the
cubes are to small or sticking together, adjustments is
necessary on the amont of water entering the mold.
To adjust the amount of water entering the mold, remove
the protective cover from the ice maker mechanism. See
FIG. 13. To increase the size of the cubes turn the
adjusting screw counter-clockwise. To decrease the size
of the ice cubes, turn the adjusting screw clockwise
CAUTION: DO NOT turn the screw more than one turn
at a time. The ice maker should be allowed to cycle
several times before another adjustment is made. Be
sure to replace protective cover on the cycle after ad-
justments have been made.
