Doors
The refrigerator doors use a positive latch that secures the door with a “click” to
prevent the door from opening while traveling. The doors use a heating element located
in the flapper on the left door (four-door model) or in the door (two-door model). The
heating element activates when operating the refrigerator in any mode to help prevent
moisture accumulation in high humidity conditions.
When storing the recreational vehicle, the refrigerator doors have a storage position
that locks the doors partially open. This will help reduce odor from mold and bacteria. A
completely sealed refrigerator in storage is a perfect environment for mold and bacteria
to grow. To use the storage feature, partially open doors and slide tab into the cut-out of
the strike plate.
Service
The LP-Gas function of the refrigerator and LP-Gas pressure will require annual service, depending on use.
Over time, the BTU rating of the flame can change, affecting the refrigerator performance. Ambient temperature
and humidity can also affect performance and function. The BTU rating lowers when operating on LP-Gas at an
altitude higher than 5,500 feet. This affects the refrigerator performance. If possible, switch mode operation to AC
while at a higher altitude.
Storage
• Turn the refrigerator off and remove all items. Leave the drip tray under the cooling fins.
• Shorten defrost time by using trays of warm water. Do not use a heating gun, hair dryer or sharp objects to
remove frost as these can damage the interior or cooling unit.
• Wash the interior using mild spray cleaners or a solution of liquid dish detergent and warm water. Do not
use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the interior finish.
• Rinse with a solution of baking soda and water. Dry with a clean cloth.
• Lock the doors open.
CAUTION:
When defrosting, do not use a hot air blower. Permanent damage could result to plastic
parts. Do not use a knife, ice pick or any other sharp instrument to remove ice from the
freezer as they can puncture the system.
Microwave - General Information
The microwave oven is operated from 120 Volt AC supplied by shore power. Microwaves heat food using
sound waves generated at a very high frequency (2,450 MHZ) to agitate the water molecules inside the item being
heated. The higher the water content is to solids, the faster the response or the shorter the cooking time. Inside the
microwave is a turntable that rotates when the microwave is operating. This will help heat the food evenly.
