placed in direct contact with the freezer shelves.
To release the ice cubes, seize the tray with
both hands and twist the tray. Cubes not required
should be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray
with water and replace the tray on the freezer
shelf.
Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermo-
stat is set at its highest position.
It is a good idea to do this a few hours before
the anticipated need for ice, but be sure to move
the thermostat back to normal setting, usually
about mid setting when the ice if formed. Food
in the lower compartment may be frozen if the
setting is left on "COLDEST" position.
DEFROSTING
Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main
power ON/OFF button to the UP (OFF) position.
Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray
under the finned evaporator, and the cabinet and
freezer doors open. Defrosting time can be
reduced by filling the ice trays with hot water
and placing them on the freezer shelves.
When all the frost has melted, dry the inte-
rior of the refrigerator and freezer with a clean
cloth. Replace all food and set the thermostat to
the COLDEST temperature setting for a few
hours. Then reset the thermostat to the desired
setting, usually at mid setting.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a hot air blower. Perma-
nent damage could result from warp-
ing the metal or plastic parts. DO
NOT use a knife or an ice pick, or
other sharp tools to remove frost from
the freezer shelves. They can create a
leak in the ammonia system.
CLEANING
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after
it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean the in-
terior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm
weak soda solution. Use only warm water to
clean the finned evaporator, ice trays and shelves.
NEVER use strong chemicals or abrasives to
clean these parts as the protective surfaces will be

damaged. It is important to always keep the re-
frigerator clean.
SHUT OFF - STORAGE PROCEDURE
Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main
power ON/OFF button to the UP (OFF) position.
If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a
period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted,
cleaned and the doors left ajar. The ice trays
should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
DO NOT store explosive substances
in the refrigerator, such as cigarette
lighter gas, petrol, ether or the like.
CLIMATE CONTROL HEATER
During the summer months of high tempera-
tures and humidity, the metal frame between the
freezer and fresh food compartments may have
water droplets forming. The number of water
droplets will increase if the vehicle isn't air con-
ditioned during these months.
This refrigerator comes standard with a 12
volt (DC) climate control that will evaporate the
water droplets when they form
To have the climate control on, you position
the switch ("F" see illustration) located behind
the freezer door to ON. The climate control can
be left on continuously or only used when tem-
peratures require it.
