ELECTRIC OPERATION

A. Check to be sure the power cord is properly
connected to the power supply. (See FIG. 10). If the
refrigerator is equipped for 12 volt DC operation, the
tow vehicle or caravan engine should be running to
prevent discharging the battery.
B. Turn Knob 'A' to the position marked
120 volt AC operation or '12v' for 12 volt DC
operation. (See FIGS. 14 and 15).

The refrigerator is equipped with a thermostat that can
be adjusted by turning knob
maintain the desired cabinet temperature (See FIGS. 14
and 15).
A.
'OFF' Setting of the Thermostat:
the thermostat closes its main valve and the burner
runs continuously at the bypass rate or pilot. In
electrical operation, the contacts in the thermostat
are open and the heating elements are off.
B. 'MAX' Setting of the Thermostat:
the thermostat allows the burner to remain on high
flame continuously. In electric operation, the heating
element is 'ON' continuously.
C. The thermostat can be adjusted between 'MAX' and
'OFF' to obtain the desired cabinet temperature.
me closer the knob is to 'MAX' - the colder the

In gas operation,
When the thermostat reaches the set temperature, it will
cut the burner back to bypass or, in electric operation,
shut off the heating element.
The setting of the thermostat is not critical, but we
recommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the
cooling fins. Adjust the thermostat knob closer to 'MAX
when the outside temperature becomes warm.
HOW TO USE THE
6.
REFRIGERATOR
Food Storage Compartment
A.
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.
One-half of the lower door shelf is equipped
with fingers. The fingers are designed to prevent
for
large containers (half-gallon of milk or juice) from
shifting or spilling while traveling.
B. Frozen Food Storage Compartment
Place quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream in the
coldest part of the freezer compartment, which is at
the bottom of the aluminum liner. In models with a
shelf, place these foods on or just below the freezer
shelf. Frozen vegetables may be stored in any part
of the freezer compartment.
This compartment is not designed for the deep
or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw
or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food
storage compartment provided it is first pre-cooled
in the refrigerator. It can be stored about three times
longer in the frozen food compartment as compared
to the fresh food compartment. To prevent food
from drying out, keep it in covered dishes,
containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum
foil.
C. Ice Making
Ice cubes can be made in the tray. Fill tray with
water to within 1/4 inch (5mm) from the top. For
faster ice making, place the tray in direct contact
with the freezer shelf.
To release the ice cubes, hold the tray with
both hands and twist the tray. Preferably, unused
cubes should be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray
with water and place the tray on the freezer shelf.
