TO DISPENSE ICE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. Insert a glass in the dispensing cavity and press
the left lever.
2. The ice maker has previously produced ice
that are stored in a large bin. When the lever is
pressed, a switch is activated. It turns on a motor
which rotates the auger. When the auger rotates,
it pushes ice out of the bin, through a chute right
into the glass.
3. To stop dispensing, pull glass away from dispens-
ing arm before the glass is full. Allow ice chute to
clear before removing glass.
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not store
or use gasoline, oil or gasoline soaked rags,
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
service area behind the refrigerator or in the
vicinity of this or any other gas appliance.
Failure to obey this warning could cause a
fire or an explosion resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
REFRIGERATOR VOLUME
Total refrigerator volume: 12.3 cu. ft.
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
• Cool the refrigerator before placing any food inside.
Never put hot food or drinks into the refrigerator - cool
them first.
• The food storage compartment is completely closed and
unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required
low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods
having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily
should be covered.
• Vegetables, salads, etc. should be covered to retain
their crispness.
• The coldest positions 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.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR,

(RM1350WID)
AND WHEN NOT IN USE.
You can turn off your refrigerator by pressing the main
power ON/OFF button found on the control panel to the
OFF position. This will shut off all power to the refrigerator,
.
including DC power to the refrigerator.
If the refrigerator will not be in operation for an extended
period of time or put into winter storage, the water reser-
voir as well as the refrigerator storage areas should be
emptied, defrosted, cleaned, and the doors placed in the
airing position. If ice cube trays are in use, they should
also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
This refrigerator is intended for continuous
use. Do not allow it to run unattended when
there is a risk for loss of electricity or fuel.
Food spoilage could occur.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

COMPARTMENT
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freez-
ing of food.
- 13 -
The refrigerator's control system still consumes a
few milliamps even if it is turned off. If your RV is
being put into winter storage, it is recommended to
either put your RV batteries on a battery charger or
turn off the vehicle's main 12 VDC switch. This will
prevent the RV battery from discharging.
• Arrange all food in the unit to allow for free air circulation.
Do not overpack because a stuffed refrigerator must
work harder and will have higher cabinet temperatures.
• Do not leave the unit's door open any longer than neces-
sary. This will reduce frost formation and increase the
efficiency of the refrigerator.
• To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dish-
es, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.
• Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in
the frozen food storage compartment provided they are
precooled first in the refrigerator. They can be stored
about three times longer in the frozen food compartment
as compared to the fresh food compartment.
• Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed
in the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the
bottom of the aluminum liner.
• Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the
compartment.
• To prevent frost buildup, which can reduce the efficiency,
wipe excess moisture off items being placed in the
compartment.
