REFRIGERATOR
Ventilation
Keep all vent openings clean and unobstructed to assure effi
cient cooling. Vent openings are located below the refrigerator
door, behind the heat shield of the gas range, in the left sidewall
of the sink cabinet, and in the left outside panel of the vehicle.
Inspect the propane tank and lines periodically for tightness and
leaks
Use soapy water to test for leaks - NOT MATCHES!
Start refrigeration several hours before storing food. Precool or
freeze food items at home before loading your C am pm obile
refrigerator.
Leave spaces between food and drink items for the necessary
air circulation. Use unbreakable plastic containers and bottles,
and seal them tightly to prevent spilling.
Condensation
When driving through heavy rain, water might enter the FLU
VENT. Open the screw on the condensation drain pipe (arrow)
and catch any accum ulated water.
When the refrigerator is operating, be sure to park on level
ground to maintain efficient cooling. If the vehicle remains
stationary for any length of tim e on gradients exceeding
+ / - 8 ° , the cooling output will be considerably reduced.
Should level ground parking be unavailable, it is best to
discontinue operation to prevent overheating of the core
which can lead to perm anent dam age of the refrigerator.
