-  Remove all food from the refrigerator.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because 

they can damage the inside of the refrigerator.

-  Wash the inside of the refrigerator and the door gasket with a solution of liquid dish 

detergent and warm water.

-  Rinse with clean water and dry.

-  After cleaning, put a thin coating of petroleum jelly on the hinge side of the gasket to 

keep it soft and to prevent it from rolling.

Battery Maintenance

Over cooling drains your battery

When the ambient temperature is between 70° and 90° F, keep the thermostat at the “3“ 

position to avoid an excessive drain of the battery.  When making ice, or storing frozen 

foods, turn the thermostat to the coldest setting “5“.

Maintain the battery

If the charge of your battery is not sufficient, the cooling performance of your refrigerator 

decreases.  

Only use a “quick charger” on the battery if the thermostat is 

turned to “OFF”.

Check the Battery charge Level

A fully charged battery will have a specific gravity reading of between 1.260 and 1.280.   

The battery voltage is best indicated when the refrigerator is “ON” and the battery charging 

system is “OFF”.  Charge the battery when the specific gravity reading is less than 1.200.

For your reference

The wiring diagram shown below is recommended for dual battery hookup (See 

Art02373)
