OPERATING TIPS
1.
The refrigerator should be cold before placing
items in it.
2.
Try not to put warm or hot items in the refrigera-
tor. Allow them to cool off first.
3.
Do not pack refrigerator too full. To operate
efficiently, the refrigerator needs air to circulate.
4.
Use smaller containers to store items i.e. 1 litre
rather than 4 litre.
5.
Use containers that seal tightly.
6.
Use crumpled paper between containers to
prevent rattling while driving.
Refer to the operator's manuals in the information
package for more detailed instructions if required for
each appliance, component or system.
The refrigerator in your motorhome can be operated
on either:
1.
120-volt AC electric.
2.
LP gas with 12-volt ignition.
It is very important that your motorhome be level
when parked so that the refrigerator will operate
safely and properly.
When you park your motorhome, normal levelling for
comfortable living will usually place it within satis-
factory level limits. Use a level to make sure.
When the refrigerator is not being used for any
length of time the temperature setting should be
turned to the lowest level and switched to off. The
door should be opened slightly to allow for air
circulation and to prevent any odor or mold build-up.
CAUTION
If the motorhome is parked off-level
by 3 degrees or more side-to-side or
6 degrees or more front-to-back for
more than an hour, permanent
damage could be done to the refrig-
erator.
