REFRIGERATOR - RESIDENTIAL (Optional)
The refrigerator operates from shore power, the generator
or the inverter. Thermostat controls for the refrigerator
and freezer temperature are located inside the refrigerator.
There are seven temperature settings for the refrigerator and
freezer. The freezer door has a water dispenser and ice cube
dispenser. Ice can be dispensed as crushed or cubed. An
infrared sensor prevents dispenser operation with the freezer
door open.
NOTE:
The refrigerator operates on 120 Volts AC, not from LP-Gas. The motorhome is equipped
with four additional batteries with the residential refrigerator option.
Refrigerator Operation from Inverter While Traveling:
Turn the inverter and refrigerator on. The electrical combination of the engine alternator and the inverter will
supply the power necessary to operate the refrigerator on 120 Volts AC while traveling.
Tips:
• If possible, cool items fi rst before putting them into the refrigerator.
• Keep the doors shut. Think about what you want before opening the doors.
• Allow the refrigerator 24 hours of operation before actual use to help it get a “head start” with the
refrigeration process.
• A box of open baking soda will help absorb food odors.
• When dry camping use the inverter to supply AC power to the refrigerator. The refrigerator draws 6.5
Amps AC or 72 Amps DC from the batteries. It is recommended to use the Automatic Generator Start
system. The amount of time the refrigerator will run from the inverter will vary depending on the state of
charge of the house batteries.
NOTE:
It is advisable to acquire a refrigerator thermometer. Keep the interior box temperature at
or below 40º F to reduce the possibility of food spoilage.
Icemaker:
The icemaker operates on 120 Volts AC and will function
only after the freezer reaches freezing temperature. When the
freezer door is open, the infrared signal is interrupted and shuts
off the ice dispenser.
