SECTION 4 APPLIANCES & SYSTEMS
The appliances installed in your motor home
are manufactured by reputable RV appliance
makers and have been tested by independent
laboratories to meet all applicable standards and
codes set for RV appliances.
REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator in your coach can be operated
from either of two power sources available to the
motor home:
−
110-Volt AC electric
−
LP gas
The refrigerator is an absorption type which
uses an ammonia-water solution for cooling.
Basically, ammonia vapor is distilled from the
solution by heat, produced from either LP gas or
electricity, and then carried to the finned
condenser where it liquefies. The liquid then
flows to an evaporator where it creates cold
temperatures through evaporation.
Leveling
Before operating the refrigerator when the
motor home is stationary, place a small level on
the freezer plate and make certain the unit is
level.
If over 1/2 of the bubble is inside the circle in
any direction, the coach is level enough for con-
tinuous operation of the refrigerator while
parked.
Normal vehicle leveling to provide comfort
for the occupants is satisfactory for refrigerator
operation.
Further Information
For further information and operating
cautions, see the refrigerator operating
instructions included in your InfoCase.
CAUTION
To prevent permanent damage to the
refrigerator cooling unit, turn the
refrigerator off if the vehicle will be
parked on an incline of over 3
°
side-to-
side or 6
°
front-to-rear (such as steep
driveways or parking lots, etc.) for
more than one hour.
Place bubble level in bottom of refrigerator
Bubble must be 1/2 inside circle
