Appliances And Systems; Refrigerator - Residential - Winnebago FORZA Series Manual

SECTION 4 – APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
The appliances installed in your motorhome
are manufactured by reputable RV appliance
makers and have been tested by independent
laboratories to meet all applicable standards and
codes set for RV appliances.
See Section 2 - Safety and Precautions of this
manual for any safety and precautions you need
to take regarding the operation of your
appliances.
REFRIGERATOR –
RESIDENTIAL
–If Equipped
Your motorhome may be equipped with a
"residential style" refrigerator. This refrigerator
operates off of the 120-volt electrical system in
your motorhome.
In order to operate, the refrigerator requires
either the shoreline to be plugged in, the
generator running, or inverter power.
The inverter is intended to power your 120
volt residential refrigerator primarily when
driving your vehicle. The house batteries will
drain quickly if the refrigerator is powered from
the inverter when the engine is not running. Other
120 volt appliances and other 120 volt devices
are not intended to operate with inverter power
for long periods of time as they too will quickly
drain your house batteries.
NOTE: The refrigerator operates off of 120-volt
power. When power is off, the ice maker
drain valve (located behind sidewall
access compartment) needs to be in the
ON position. This will ensure that water
does not discharge from the water
dispenser when power is reconnected to
the appliance.
WARNING
At refrigerator/freezer or motorhome End
of Life remove travel latch. Failure to
remove travel latch could result in
trapping a child inside resulting in
suffocation leading to death or serious
injury.
Do not let children play inside the
motorhome unattended. Unlike your
home refrigerator/freezer that one could
push open the door from the inside, your
motorhome refrigerator has a travel latch
and when engaged would trap a child
inside.
Travel Latch
To engage the travel latch, rotate the handle to
lock position. To disengage the travel latch,
rotate the handle to the unlock position.
