Installation / Owner’s Manual 6
If the cooling load changes, you must manually change the thermostat to maintain the same temperature inside the
refrigerator.
When the outside air temperature is below 10° C, the refrigerator may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder temperature
settings. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:
- Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.
- Keep the refrigerator full.
- Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.
The selector switch [207] changes the energy source of the refrigerator between LP gas ( ), AC electric
(
), DC electric (
), and OFF (
).
The LP gas safety valve [91] is built into the control panel. As long as a flame is present, the valve is open and allows LP gas to flow
into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty LP gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes the LP gas safety valve and stops the flow of LP gas.
The piezo igniter [216] makes a spark which ignites the flame in the burner.
The flame meter [217] shows if a flame is present in the burner.
The moisture reduction heater switch [253] operates a heater that prevents moisture from forming on the center divider between the
doors of the freezer and the fresh food compartment. The moisture reduction heater requires DC current to run. Before turning on the
heater, make sure that the refrigerator is connected to DC power and that the vehicle battery has sufficient capacity. The current draw
of the heater is 0.258A at 12V. The heater will not operate if the switch is turned off.
The cooling system ventilation switch [252] operates a fan on the rear of the refrigerator. Use this fan to improve the refrigerator cooling
performance when the ambient temperature is above 38° C. The fan is controlled by a thermostat when the switch is on, so it will run
only intermittently, when temperatures are high enough. The cooling system ventilation fan requires DC current to run. Before turning
on the fan, make sure that the refrigerator is connected to DC power, and that the vehicle battery has sufficient capacity. Current draw
when the fan is running is 0.430A at12V. The fan will not run if the switch is turned off, regardless of temperatures.
Ignition - LP gas operation:
1. Open the valve at the LP gas storage tank.
2. Turn the thermostat to the 5 position.
3. Turn the selector switch to the LP gas position (
).
4. Push and hold in the LP gas safety valve and push in the igniter several times in rapid succession, for about five seconds:
Do not hold in the LP gas safety valve for more than 30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at
least five minutes before you try ignition again. If you continue to hold in the LP gas safety valve, LP gas
will collect in the burner area. This could cause a fire or explosion and result in dangerous personal injury
or death.
- When a flame is present and the flame meter moves into the green area, wait about five seconds and release the LP gas safety
valve.
- If the flame meter does not move into the green area, do this step again.
5. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.
Do a test of the LP gas safety valve:
With an established flame in GAS mode:
1. Close the manual gas shutoff valve [218] of the refrigerator (See Art02258).
2. After the flame is extinguished, you should hear a sharp “click” sound within 90
seconds.
The LP gas safety valve should close with a sharp “click“ sound.
