Cooktop - Airstream 2012 INTERSTATE Owner's Manual

APPLIANCES
Defrost & Cleaning:
The frequency of defrost is dependant on the number of door openings, the
ambient temperature and the humidity level. Typically, it is a good practice to
defrost once there is ¼" of frost buildup on either side of the evaporator (cold
plate). When defrosting, the unit is shut off at either the breaker panel or by
turning the thermostat counterclockwise to the OFF (0) position. Prop the door
open. We suggest placing a towel in the bottom of the refrigerator to catch
excess moisture. Speeding up the process with a knife or scraper is strongly
discouraged due to the likelihood of rupturing the refrigerant circuit; in the
event this happens give us a call 604-523- 6515 ext.104.
Now that the unit has been defrosted, the interior can be cleaned with a non-
I
abrasive cleaner. Do not use "brillo" or "sos" type abrasive pads, as they will
score the surfaces. Baking soda is recommended.

of the cook top in a recreation vehicle. Other customers, used to electric ranges
may be a little apprehensive at first; but will quickly gain confidence. The basic
operation of the gas cook tops have been the same for many years, but please
be sure to read all the directions furnished by the manufacturer and located
in the Owner's Packet. Excellent service and parts manuals are also available
from the manufacturer.

specialized information, warnings, and cautions that if not followed ex-
actly, may result in a fire or explosion causing property damage, personal
injury, or death. The manual should be reviewed prior to operating the
