14. Reposition the travel latch in the two holes ex-
posed by the removal of the hole plugs. Attach
travel latch using the two screws previously re-
moved. Do not tighten screws (see Figure 12).
Reinstalling the Door
15. Turn the door over so the end previously at the
bottom is now at the top. Relocate the bottom of
the door on the bottom hinge pin shoulder. Close
door and align holes in top hinge brackets. The
magnetic gasket will hold the door in place.
16. Starting at the top, replace the hinge pins using
the slotted screwdriver as in the removal proce-
dure. Tighten both top and bottom hinge pins.
17. Align the door so that there is a parallel gap
around the frame of the refrigerator. Adjust the
door to the refrigerator cabinet so the gasket seals
but does not bind. Tighten the screws holding the
top and bottom hinge brackets to the refrigerator.
18. The door seal can be checked by closing the door
on a 1" x 6" strip of paper (or a dollar bill). A slight
drag should be noticed when the paper is pulled
out from between the gasket and the refrigerator
cabinet. Repeat the process around all four sides
of the door if the door does not seal properly.
Readjust the hinge brackets if necessary.
19. Position the travel latch to secure the door when
closed. Secure the latch to the refrigerator with the
two screws previously removed. Tighten screws.
20. Replace the storage bins into the door. Make
sure that the milk bins (wider storage bins) are
installed at the lowest door position.
About Your Refrigerator
Storage Volume: 3.1 Cu. Ft.
Controls
The model DE-541 operates on 12 volts DC or 120
volts AC. When both power source are supplied to the
refrigerator, it defaults to 120 volts AC operation. When
the refrigerator is disconnected from the shoreline
power (i.e. when AC is no longer available), the refrig-
erator switches to DC operation.
A single thermostat controls the operation of your
refrigerator. The thermostat control is located on the
panel below the door. The green light, located on the
thermostat control panel, will illuminate, indicating that
power is available to the refrigerator and the thermo-
stat. Initially, set the thermostat control knob to "5" and
allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to operate at this
setting. After the 24 hour period, adjust the temperature
by moving the thermostat knob to a lower number setting.
Freezer Compartment
This compartment is not designed for the quick freezing
of food but designed to retain food in a frozen state. Foods
prepared or purchased for storage in the freezer should
be frozen to reduce the load on the refrigerant system.
When making ice, place the ice trays directly on the
freezer surface and set the thermostat to its coldest
setting.
Fresh Food Compartment
This compartment is designed to store and cool foods.
Refrigeration requires air circulation within the fresh
food compartment. Restriction of air circulation will
cause inadequate refrigerator temperatures and possi-
ble food spoilage.
Do not cover the refrigerator shelves
with paper or plastic.
To prevent food odors, store highly flavored foods in
covered dishes, plastic bags or wrap in foil. Cover
vegetables to retain crispness.
Do not put hot foods into
the refrigerator or let door remain open longer than
necessary.
Allow the refrigerator to operate for a minimum of eight
hours or overnight before loading the refrigerator with
food. Loading a warm refrigerator with warm foods will
