REFRIGERATOR OVERVIEW
ABSORPTION COOLING SYSTEM
When turning on the refrigerator, you should adjust
the thermostat to the coldest temperature setting.
The cooling cycle may require an extended running
time before cooling effect is observed.
LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR
Leveling is one of the requirements for proper operation
with absorption refrigerators. To ensure proper leveling the
vehicle needs to be leveled so it is comfortable to live in
(no noticeable sloping of floor or walls).
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the
refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled to al-
low proper cooling.
When the vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical, as
the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will pass
to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia from
accumulating in the evaporator tubing.
PURGING AIR FROM THE LINES
If the refrigerator has not been used for a long time - or -
the LP tanks have just been refilled, air may be trapped
in the supply lines. You may have to repeat the lighting
procedure several times to purge the air from the lines. If
repeated attempts fail to start the LP gas operation, check
to make sure that the LP gas supply tanks are not empty
and that all manual shutoff valves in the lines are open. If
the problem persists, turn the refrigerator off and take it to
a Service Center.
