Savoy SL & LX 5th Wheel & Travel Trailer 2006 Appliances — Section 4 • 67
AppliAnces - introduction
This section covers operation and care of various appliances found in the recreational vehicle. The recreational
vehicle is equipped with a refrigerator, cooktop range, microwave, furnace, water heater, roof air conditioner and
several optional appliances. Many of these appliances operate on AC or DC current, LP-Gas or a combination of
all three.
Detailed information with CAUTION or WARNING instructions for the appliances, other than in this
section, can be found in the manufacturer’s manual.
WARNING:
Before entering a refueling station make sure LP-Gas operated appliances are off. Most
LP-Gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the outside. When parked near
a gasoline pump fuel vapors can enter this type of appliance and ignite an explosion or fire.
Carbon monoxide gas may cause nausea, fainting or death. Operating LP-Gas appliances
with inadequate ventilation or partial blockage of the flue can result in carbon monoxide
poisoning. Do not store flammable liquids such as lighter fluid or gasoline in the outside
refrigerator.
refrigerAtor
The recreational vehicle refrigerator uses a combination of fluids and gas for refrigeration including ammonia,
water, sodium chromate and hydrogen gas. The cooling unit is pressurized to about 350 psi. The chemicals are
heated to a gaseous state and rise to the top of the cooling unit into a condenser where they form droplets as they
cool. As the vapor condenses, it extracts or absorbs heat from inside the refrigerator. Droplets return through the
absorber coils to the absorber vessel to restart the process. To ensure longevity and proper operation follow the
instructions for use and care. With proper care and maintenance, the refrigerator should provide years of
trouble-free service.
Operation Specifics
• The refrigerator operates from LP-Gas or 120 Volts AC electric.
• DC Voltage must be no higher than 15.4 Volts DC or lower than 10.5 Volts DC.
• AC voltage must be no higher than 132 Volts AC or lower than 108 Volts AC.
• Only operate the refrigerator when level. Level the refrigerator (from front view) within 3º side to side
and 6º front to back. Using a torpedo or bulls eye (fence post) level. Place the level inside the refrigerator
on the bottom shelf. The level should be within the circle by a half of a bubble, within regular living
conditions.
NOTE:
Operating the refrigerator “off level” separates the chemicals that crystallize and block the
circulation action of the cooling unit. Damage is cumulative and irreversible.
WARNING:
Do not use the refrigerator if an ammonia smell is inside or outside of the
refrigerator, or if a yellowish substance appears inside or outside the access compartment,
which can be an indication of refrigerant leak. Contact an authorized repair facility.
