CAMPING & OPERATING
83
For the best cooling performance:
•
Let air move freely inside the entire food
compartment.
•
Do not cover the shelves with plastic,
paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects
on the cooling fins:
•
Cover all liquids and moist foods.
•
Let all hot foods cool before putting them
in the refrigerator.
•
Do not open the door any longer than
necessary.
The freezer compartments are made to keep
pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze
food.
Door latch
During travel, the door latch prevents the door
from opening. When closing each door, push
the door toward the refrigerator until you hear
a “click” sound. To open each door, pull the
handle away from the refrigerator.
During storage, the storage latch prevents the
door from completely closing. Use it to
prevent odors when the refrigerator is stored
for an extended period of time.
Maintenance
Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble
free service if you do these simple checks
every three to six months:
•
Keep the food compartment and the
freezer clean.
•
Defrost the refrigerator as necessary.
•
Make sure the door seals correctly.
•
Be aware of any cooling changes that are
not because of weather, loading, or
control changes. If changes occur, contact
your dealer.
•
Make sure the air flow in the lower intake
vent, through the refrigerator coils and
condenser, and out the upper exhaust
vent is not blocked or decreased.
•
Make sure the area behind the refrigerator
is clear. Do not use the area behind the
refrigerator for storage of anything,
especially combustible materials,
especially gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
•
Make sure the refrigerator roof vent is
unobstructed and cleared of debris.

CEMAKER
The ice maker is assembled to the
refrigerators by the vendor as optional
equipment. Generally speaking, if a newer
refrigerator does not have a vendor installed
ice maker, one cannot be added to the
refrigerator at a later time; however, check
with your dealer or the refrigerator
manufacturer to confirm if an icemaker can or
cannot be added to your appliance.
The ice maker is fully automatic and will
operate in ambient temperatures as low as
0°F. To allow operation at temperatures
between 0°F and 32°F., the ice maker has a
heater on the solenoid water valve and on the
water line between the solenoid valve and the
ice maker. At temperatures below 0°F, store
the ice maker as directed by the vendor.
When the freezer temperature of the
refrigerator is low enough, the ice maker
opens the water solenoid valve and fills the
mold. The ice maker ejects the frozen ice into
a storage bin. As the storage bin fills, the ice
raises the shut-off arm until it turns off the ice
maker. As you use the ice and lower the ice
level in the storage bin, the shut-off arm also
lowers. This turns the ice maker ON and
begins the process of making ice.
New plumbing connections and/or impurities
in the water supply line after winterizing can
cause the first ice to be discolored or have an
The water line heater does not protect
the water supply line from the RV shut off
valve to the solenoid valve on the back of
the refrigerator. If you operate the
refrigerator without connecting the water
supply line and/or opening the water shut
off valve of the vehicle, make sure the ice
maker arm is up in the OFF position.
