APPLIANCES & ACCESSORIES
LP/GAS REFRIGERATOR
Your coach may be equipped with a standard LP/gas
refrigerator. When this refrigerator is in the “LP gas”
mode, make sure that the main LP gas valve is in the
“on” position before attempting to start the refrigera-
tor. Please note that the refrigerator is equipped with a
semi-automatic energy selector (AES) control system
which can set automatically to switch between a 120-
volt AC system or a LP-gas operation system.
A 12-volt power supply (e.g., 12 VDC system of the
motorhome, auxiliary battery, converter, or motor-
home engine battery) is required for proper operation
of the electronic control panel. For electrical operation
of the refrigerator, either the external electrical power
line must be connected to the motorhome or the on-
board electrical generator must be running to provide
the necessary 120-volt AC power. To operate the refrig-
erator in the LP-gas mode, the main LP gas valve must
be “open.”
To turn “on” the refrigerator, press the main power
ON/OFF button (ON position). Select operation mode
(Auto or Gas). If necessary, adjust the thermostat by
pressing the temperature selector button.
To turn “o ff ” the refrigerator, press the main power
ON/OFF button (OFF position). Th e refrigerator may
be shut o ff while in any mode of operation by pressing
the main power ON/OFF button. Th is shuts o ff all DC
power to the refrigerator, including the interior light. If
the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of
weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the
doors le ft ajar. Th e ice trays should also be kept outside
the cabinet.
Place a small level on the bottom of the refrigerator to
make sure it is level before its operation.
For further operating and maintenance instructions,
please refer to the operating booklet found in the Own-
er’s Information Package.

NOTICE
The majority of LP gas appliances
used in motorhomes normally vent
to the outside of the motorhome.
When your motorhome may be
parked in close proximity to a fuel
pump (i.e., during re-fueling oper-
ations), it is possible that the diesel
fumes could enter this type of appli-
ance and possibly be ignited by the
burner flame thereby causing a fire
or explosion. Accordingly, please use
extreme caution when re-fueling the
motorhome.
