■ REFRIGERATOR
Depending on the coach model and installed options, your American
Coach Patriot is equipped with either a 3�5 or 7�3 cubic foot Nova Kool
refrigerator. These high quality refrigerators are very efficient, and
operate on 12-Volt DC power, furnished by the house battery bank�
All Nova Kool units are supplied with a wide-range thermostat that is
designed to sense the evaporator (cold plate) temperature. The
coldest position on the thermostat is reached by turning the knob to
the right (clockwise); turning the thermostat knob to the left
(counterclockwise) yields a warmer setting. The OFF position is
reached by turning fully counterclockwise past the “click” position
(or by turning off the “FRIDGE” button / switch�
To operate your coach’s refrigerator follow these procedures:
STEP 1
Turn on the unit by pressing the “FRIDGE” power button
or switch, which is located at the main Firefly network
interface display is in the “on” position� Some coach
models will have a round “FRIDGE” power button, while
others have a rocker style switch�
STEP 2
Set the refrigerator’s thermostat between 3 and 4� You
can make further adjustments to suit your personal
requirements after the unit has cooled down� Allow the
refrigerator to come down to temperature before loading
with product; and,
STEP 3 Gradually adjust the thermostat to the desired setting�
NOTE
Setting the refrigerator’s thermostat to a much lower number
than the desired temperature setting will not decrease the
time required for the unit to reach the desired cooling point.
note
NOTE
Your cabin heater and the fan will continue to run for a
short period after being turned off. This is a cool down
cycle and is normal.
NOTE
The furnace should be turned off when the coach is not in use
to conserve fuel and reduce unnecessary wear on the unit.
DANGER
Risk of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gas poisoning. Never
operate the cabin heater inside a garage or enclosed area,
adjacent to walls and fences, or where exhaust gasses from
the furnace may be directed back into the coach, which
could result in serious physical injuries and / or death.
DANGER
Risk of fir e. Before operating the cabin heater, check the
outside surroundings to ensure tall grass and leaves are not in
close proximity to the exhaust outlet, which could cause a fire,
resulting in property loss, physical injuries and / or death.
DANGER
Do not leave unsupervised small children and pets in the
coach with the heater on A child could accidentally change
the heater setpoint, creating unsafe conditions, which could
result in serious injuries and / or death.
WARNING
A small louvered vent is located adjacent to the diesel
furnace on the driver’s side of the coach beneath the rear
power-folding bench seat. Never block or restrict this vent as
it is essential for the furnace to operate properly. Blocking
the vent could cause the furnace to malfunction, overheat,
or reduce the heater’s output air flow.
