•
When a flame is present and the flame meter moves into the green area, release
the safety valve.
•
If the flame meter does not move into the green area, do this step again.
5. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.
Start Up – AC Operation
1. Make sure that 120 volts AC is available.
2. Turn the selector switch to the AC position (
).
3. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.
Shut Down
1. Turn the selector switch to the OFF position (
).
Operating the Refrigerator Controls – N500
(Kiwi 18F, 23B, 23D, 21C, 22U, 22V)
The thermostat (A) changes the amount of propane gas that goes to the burner. This acts
as the temperature control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest temperature setting.
NOTE
: This is not an automatic gas control. It does not change the flame from high
fire to low fire as do some RV refrigerators. If the cooling load changes, you
must manually change the gas control to maintain the same temperature
inside the refrigerator.
When the outside air temperature is below 50° F, the refrigerator may have a tendency to
freeze food at the colder temperature settings. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:
• Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.
• Keep the refrigerator full.
• Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the upper shelf.
The selector switch (B) changes the energy source of the refrigerator between propane
gas ( ), AC electric (
), DC electric (
), and OFF (
).
The gas safety valve (C) is built into the control panel. As long as a flame is present, the
valve is open and allows propane gas to flow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty
propane gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow of propane
gas.
The flame indicator (D) shows if a flame is present in the burner.

Operating the Refrigerator Controls – N300 (Kiwi 17A)
The thermostat (1) changes the amount of propane gas that goes to the burner. This acts
as the temperature control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest temperature setting.
NOTE
:
This is not an automatic gas control. It does not change the flame from high
fire to low fire as do some RV refrigerators. If the cooling load changes, you

The selector switch (2) changes the energy source of the refrigerator between propane gas
( ), AC electric (
), and OFF (
).
The gas safety valve (3) is built into the control panel. As long as a flame is present, the
valve is open and allows propane gas to flow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty
propane gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow of gas.
The piezo igniter (4) makes a spark which ignites the flame in the burner.
The flame indicator (5) shows if a flame is present in the burner.
Ignition – Propane Gas Operation
1. Open the valve at the gas storage tank.
2. Turn the thermostat to the 5 position.
3. Turn the selector switch to the propane gas position ( ).
4. Push and hold in the safety valve and push in the igniter several times in rapid
succession, for about five seconds.
1
WARNING: Do not hold in the safety valve for more than 30 seconds. If
there is no flame in this time, wait at least five minutes before you try
ignition again. If you continue to hold in the safety valve, gas will collect in the
burner area. This could cause a fire or explosion and result in dangerous
personal injury or death.
