The ice maker (if so equipped) should be turned off and the ice tray emptied
when power to your recreation vehicle has been shut off. With no power, the
ice will melt and water may "pool" in the refrigerator door. When power is
restored, the vibration may cause this water to run out of the door and on to
the vehicle floor.
3-Way Refrigerators (if so equipped)
Depending on your model, you may have a 3-way refrigerator (12VDC, LP GAS or
120VAC).
Converter output (12VDC) is not intended for normal operation of the 3-way
refrigerator. When the camping trailer is parked and the power cord is plugged
in, set the 3-way refrigerator to "AC power." The "DC mode" is to be used
only when traveling and will pull power from the auxiliary battery charge
line (if so equipped). When camping without available AC power, utilize the
propane mode.
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
The following are general cleaning guidelines. For detailed information on cleaning your
specific refrigerator, refer to the manufacturer's user guide.
Cleaning the Interior
1.
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.
Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
3.
Inside the refrigerator, use a warm water and baking soda solution consisting of ap-
proximately 1-tablespoon (15ml) baking soda to 1 quart (1 liter) of water. This solution
cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
4.
Leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer to help prevent odors.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated deter-
gents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts,
interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads,
or other harsh cleaning tools.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal operating environments. If the
environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or if there is significant pet traffic, the condenser
should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
