Microwave Ovens

Refer to the Certified Performance Checkout sheet,
included in your owner's packet, for manufacturer,
model, and serial number information�

Portable Ice Maker

The portable ice maker is capable of producing 26
LBS of ice in a 24 hour period. Automatic over-flow
protection insures you will always have ice when you
need it but gives you the peace of mind of no messy
cleanup should you leave it running� The ice maker
has two settings for small or large cubes and includes
an ice scooper and serving basket� Please review the
supplied user's manual before operating�

Range

There is little difference between the operation of home
gas ranges and the trailer's range� If, however, you are
used to an electric range, operating confidence can be
quickly gained by reading the manufacturer's directions
provided in the owner's packet� Manufacturer's service
and parts manuals are also available�
An operation manual for the range has been
provided with your owner's packet. If this has not
been provided with your trailer, contact the listed
manufacturer to obtain. Their manual contains
specialized warnings and cautions that should be
reviewed prior to operating the appliance.

WARNING

Refrigerator

Review all refrigerator literature supplied in your
owner's packet or stored in the refrigerator prior to
operating it�
In an absorption refrigerant system, ammonia is
liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top-rear of
the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the
evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed
to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the
freezer�
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically
sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid
ammonia, flowing downward by gravity, through this
section� If the refrigerator is operated out-of-level
when the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will
accumulate in portions of the evaporator tubing� This
will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas,
or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a
loss of cooling�
Any time the trailer is parked for several hours with
the refrigerator operating, the trailer should be leveled
to prevent this loss of cooling� The trailer needs to be
leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable
sloping of floor or walls).
When the trailer is moving, the leveling is not critical,
as the rolling and pitching movement of the trailer will
pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia
from accumulating in the evaporator tubing�

Operation

The refrigerator requires 12-volt current to operate,
even if running on LP or 120-volt modes� The 12-volt
is used to power the circuit board that directs the
refrigerator functions� When running in a mode such
as LP, it means the heat source, by far the largest
power requirement to evaporate the ammonia, is being
provided by an LPG burner�
NOTE
When unit is plugged into 120 power and the
switch is in auto mode, 120 power is the priority
source of operation.
