hEATING CAbLE (RM4605 & RM4805)
During the summer months of high temperatures and humidity,
the metal frame between the freezer and fresh food compart-
ments may have water droplets forming. This refrigerator
comes standard with a 12V DC heating cable that will evapo-
rate the water droplets when they form.
To have the heating cable on,
you position the switch located
beneath the control panel to I, see
Fig. 2. The heating cable can be
left on continuously or only used
when temperatures require it.
The heating cable will draw 12V DC power con-
tinuously when in the oN (I) position . It should be
turned off when a charging source is not available .

If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
1. Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF but-
ton (1) to "OFF".)
2. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the
refrigerator.
3. Pull out the plug from the wall socket.
4. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as
described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigera-
tor and frozen food compartment ajar.
