main power ON/OFF button (1) three or four
times. If repeated attempts fail to start the LP gas
operation, check to make sure that the LP gas
supply tanks are not empty and all manual shut-
off valves in the lines are open. If the problem is
still not corrected, contact a service center for
assistance.
If the control is switched to AC operation
while the CHECK indicator lamp is on, it will
function properly, but the CHECK indicator
lamp will not go off until the main power ON/
OFF button is pressed to the OFF then ON posi-
tion.
LIMP MODE OF OPERATION
This control system contains a feature where
it will continue to operate the cooling system in
the event of a failure of a major operating com-
ponent. Two different modes of operation can
occur in this category.
If for some reason the display module
becomes non functional, the control system will
revert to full automatic operation selecting the
best energy source available with AC, GAS pri-
ority. The temperature of the refrigerator will be
maintained at the MID position within normal
temperature tolerances. The power module will
continually attempt to reestablish operation of
the display module.
The second limp mode of operation will exe-
cute when a failure of the temperature sensing
device or associated electronic circuitry occurs.
If this should occur, the control system will oper-
ate on the energy source selected via the control
panel. The cooling unit will run continuously on
the selected energy source. The refrigerator will
continue to operate in this mode indefinitely or
until a new sensor is installed and the system is
reset.
HOW TO USE THE
REFRIGERATOR
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely
closed and unventilated, which is necessary to
maintain the required low temperature for food
8-6
storage. Consequently, foods having a strong
odor or those that absorb odors easily should be
covered. Vegetables, salads, etc. should be cov-
ered to retain their crispness. The coldest posi-
tions in the refrigerator are under the cooling
fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The
warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This
should be considered when placing different
types of food in the refrigerator.
When the refrigerator is heavily loaded, it
will take a longer time to lower the temperature;
therefore, to get maximum efficiency the refrig-
erator and food items should be pre-cooled prior
to loading. The shelves should not be covered
with paper or plastic, and the food items should
be arranged so air can circulate freely. Two door
shelves are equipped with fingers. The fingers
are designed to prevent large containers (1/2 gal-
lon milk or juice) from shifting or spilling while
traveling.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
COMPARTMENT
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should
be placed in the coldest part of the compartment,
which is on the top freezer shelf. Frozen vegeta-
bles may be stored in any part of the compart-
ment.
This compartment is not designed for deep
or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether
raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food
storage compartment provided they are pre-
cooled first in the refrigerator. They can be
stored about three times longer in the frozen
food compartment as compared to the fresh food
compartment. To prevent food from drying out,
keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic
bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.
Refrigerator volume
The combined volume of the freezer and
fresh food compartment are 9.2 cubic feet for the
model RM 7732.
ICE MAKING
Ice cubes can be made in the ice trays placed
in the freezer compartment. The trays should be
filled with water to within 1/4" (5 mm) from the
top. For faster ice making, the trays should be
