Refrigerator
Your Airstream is equipped with an A.G.A.
approved Dometic gas-electric refrigerator.
These are the finest refrigerators available for
trailer use and will give you many years of
faithful service.
For best operation of this refrigerator it is
important to level your trailer. When parking
try to avoid having a strong wind blowing
directly against the vent outlet for most
efficient operation.
Controls for both Gas and Electric operation
are located inside the food storage compart¬
ment, at the bottom of the unit, and in the
Outside Access Compartment. See photos.
For Gas Operation, follow these instructions:
1. Open refrigerator door, all controls for gas
operation are located at bottom of unit.
2. To start the refrigerator turn the valve
knob (A) to gas position. The gas valve is
now open and the electric circuits are not
in use. Set thermostat knob (B) to setting
#
4
.
3. Pull knob (C) of the automatic pilot, and
keep it out for 15 seconds. Press in knob
(D) of the piezo lighter. The pressing may
have to be repeated.
4. After the burner is lit, which can be seen
through reflector window (E), keep the
knob (C) pulled outward for an additional
15 seconds.
5. Release the knob (C) and check that the
burner is operating.
If the burner is not operating, repeat the
lighting procedure.
After a replacement of a gas bottle or a long
shut-off period the gas lines are likely to be
filled with air. In such cases the lighting
procedure has to be repeated until the air is
pushed out of the lines and the gas has
reached the burner.
As soon as the required cold temperature
inside the cabinet is reached, the thermostat
cuts the burner main flame to the by-pass
flame sufficient to keep the safety valve open
during gas operation. During electric opera¬
tion the thermostat cycles the flow of the
electrical current to maintain the set tem¬
perature.
Incorporated in the burner bracket is an
automatic flame failure device which allows
gas to pass only when the burner is lighted,
keeping the thermocouple hot. Should the
flame be blown out, the thermocouple will
cool and the device will cut off the flow of
gas to the burner.
The refrigerator is fitted with a piezo lighter
which does not require flint.
For
Electric
Operation,
follow
these
instructions.
1. Open refrigerator door and outside access
compartment door. Outside access doors
are opened by unlocking and turning the
handle 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Controls
