FRIDGE
AUTOMATIC VS. PROPANE MODE
When you set your fridge to the
AUTOMATIC
mode it automatically selects the available energy source; this
means, if you are hooked up to the campground's power grid, the fridge runs on
110V
(AC)
. If no hook-up is
available, it runs on
PROPANE
(LP)
. We generally recommend setting the Automatic mode for your fridge. If
the fridge is set to Propane (LP), it exclusively runs on propane and does not automatically switch to AC when
you hook up to the 110V power grid.
CAUTION:
1.
Park the RV in a level spot. Incline positions can damage the fridge.
2.
Always make sure to close the fridge and freezer doors properly.
3.
Before you enter a gas station or a ferry please turn off the fridge first, then shut off the
propane. After leaving gas station or ferry turn on propane first and fridge second.
