Furnace; Microwave Ovens; Range; Refrigerator/Freezer - Airstream TOMMY BAHAMA 2020 Owner's Manual

Furnace

The manufacturer of the furnace in your touring coach
has been well known in the motorhome industry for
many years� The furnace burns LP gas, and is powered
by 12-volt current from the batteries or power converter
when plugged in to city power� Operating instructions
are located in your owner's packet� If they should
become misplaced, new literature can be ordered
directly from the manufacturer or your Airstream dealer�
The manufacturer also offers a detailed service guide
for your furnace�
The reset button, depending on model, is located on
the furnace behind the access panel or behind the
panel next to the furnace� Remove the panel to gain
access�
Carefully read all the manufacturer's instructions
prior to operating. NEVER store flammable material
next to the furnace or in close proximity to the
furnace exhaust outlet on the side of the touring
coach.
NOTE
If warranty service is required, use only a
service location recommended by the furnace
manufacturer or your Airstream dealer.

Microwave Ovens

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

Range

There is little difference between the operation of
home gas ranges and the touring coach'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, contact the listed manufacturer to
obtain. Their manual contains specialized warnings
and cautions that should be reviewed prior to
operating the appliance.

Refrigerator/Freezer

Review all refrigerator literature supplied in your
owner's packet or stored in the refrigerator prior to
operating it�

Operation

The refrigerator operates on 12-volt current from
the battery� All units are supplied with a wide range
thermostat designed to sense the evaporator (cold
plate) temperature� The coldest position on the
thermostat is reached by turning the knob to the
right (clockwise); conversely turning the thermostat
knob to the left (counterclockwise) yields a warmer
setting� The OFF position is reached by turning hard
counterclockwise past the click� The reference point is
shown with an indicator sticker beside the knob�
Start up
Turn the power on and set the thermostat between 3
and 4� You can make further adjustments to suit your
personal requirements after the box has cooled down�
Allow the refrigerator to come down to temperature
before loading with product� Adding pre-cooled product
will help keep the temperature stable when loading�
Setting the thermostat to a higher setting e�g�, 7, will
not decrease the time required for the unit to cool down
to its normal operating temperature�
NOTE
The refrigerator requires 12V power to operate.
You must have the battery disconnect switch in the
use position even if plugged into shore power.

Defrost and Cleaning

The frequency of defrost is dependant on the number
of door openings, the ambient temperature and the
humidity level� Typically, it is a good practice to defrost
once there is ¼ inch of frost buildup on either side of
the evaporator (cold plate)� When defrosting, the unit is
shut off by turning the thermostat counterclockwise to
the OFF (0) position� Prop the door open� We suggest
placing a towel in the bottom of the refrigerator to catch
excess moisture�
Now that the unit has been defrosted, the interior can
be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner� Do not use
"Brillo" or "SOS" type abrasive pads, as they will score
the surfaces� Baking soda is recommended�
CAUTION
Speeding up the defrost process with a knife
or scraper is strongly discouraged due to the
likelihood of rupturing the refrigerant circuit.
