This section covers operation and care of
various appliances found in the motorhome:
refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, roof air
conditioner and optional appliances. These
appliances operate on AC or DC current,
propane or a combination of the three.
NOTE:
Appliance features and options vary
with floorplans.
INFORMATION:
Detailed information with CAUTION
or WARNING instructions for the
various appliances, other than what is
found in this section, can be found in
the OEM manuals.
WARNING:
Before entering any type of refueling
station, turn off all propane operated
appliances. Most propane appliances are
vented to the outside. When parked close
to a gasoline pump it is possible for fuel
vapors to enter this type of appliance
and ignite, resulting in an explosion or
fire.
WARNING:
Carbon Monoxide gas may cause
nausea, fainting or death. Operating
a propane appliance with inadequate
ventilation or partial blockage of the
flue can result in Carbon Monoxide
poisoning. Do not store flammable
liquids such as lighter fluid, gasoline
or propane in the outside refrigerator
compartment.

Follow the specific guidelines in the
refrigerator OEM manual for detailed
operating and maintenance instructions.
This will help ensure longevity and proper
operation of the refrigerator. With proper
care and maintenance, the refrigerator should
provide years of trouble-free service.
INFORMATION:
The refrigerator may require special
winterization procedures. Refer to
the refrigerator OEM manual for
instructions and recommendations.
TIP:
To reduce the possibility of food
spoilage, keep the interior box
temperature at or below 40º F. The
refrigerator will consume more
energy to maintain low temperature,
especially in hot, humid climates.
Lower temperature may also lead to
more frost build-up.
Operation Specifics
The refrigerator operates from propane
or 120 Volts AC electric.
DC Voltage for control pad operation
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.

Important: Operate refrigerator only when
level. Level the refrigerator using a torpedo or
bulls eye level. Place the levels on the bottom
shelf of the refrigerator. The bubble should be
at least half-way inside the circles.
CAUTION:
Operating the refrigerator off-level
separates chemicals, causing them to
crystallize and block the circulation
action of the cooling unit. Damage is
cumulative and irreversible.
WARNING:
Do not use the refrigerator if there is
an ammonia smell inside or outside
of the refrigerator, or if a yellowish
substance appears inside or at the
outside access compartment. This can
be an indication of a refrigerant leak.
Contact an authorized repair facility.
Refrigerator Operation:
House batteries must be
charged and on.
The primary propane
valve must be open.
Figure A:
The
refrigerator 120 Volt AC
cord(s) must be plugged
in (located outside
behind refrigerator
