SECTION 6 – APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT
NOTE: Some items described in this section may
be optional and, therefore, may not be in
your vehicle.
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. These appliances
are covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. (Certain items may be covered by
individual manufacturer’s warranty.) See your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty for details.
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.
Normal vehicle leveling to provide comfort
for the occupants is satisfactory for refrigerator
operation. This will be well within the operation
limits of 3
°
off-level side-to-side and 6
°
off-level
front-to-back.
Operating Instructions

Start-Up Instructions - Gas Mode
The control panel is located between the
freezer compartment and fresh food
compartment. It contains mode and temperature
switches and LED indicators. The On and Gas
indicators illuminate to indicate the refrigerator’s
operating mode.
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.
