OPERATING TIPS
Power Range Hood
"OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5." The nearer the knob is set
to "5," the colder the temperature becomes in
the cabinet.
Once the desired temperature is reached, the
thermostat will control the cabinet temperature
equally well on either voltage supply .
There is a circuit breaker incorporated in the
12-volt circuit of the refrigerator. It is located
behind the kick plate below the refrigerator
door. When the circuit breaker opens a small
light will come on beside the breaker . The cir-
cuit breaker is reset by pushing IN on the red
button next to the light .
The following operating suggestions will serve
as a guide in operating your unit efficiently dur-
ing 12-volt DC (battery) operation
1 . In order to conserve battery power it is
advisable to set the thermostat knob at the low-
est setting that will provide adequate refrigera-
tion . This practice will reduce the running time
of the refrigerator and draw less current from
the battery . A setting of "3" is a normal position .
2. Always operate the refrigerator with a
120-volts AC source connected to the Motor-
home when available, especially during initial
start-up of the unit. Depending upon the ambi-
ent temperature, the initial start-up may require
one to two hours continuous operation before
refrigeration temperatures are attained and unit
cycling begins.
3. Never employ "Quick Chargers" to the
battery unless the thermostat is set to "OFF" or
the 12-volt DC leads to the refrigerator are dis-
connected. Damage will occur if the high voltage
of the "Quick Charger" is permitted to reach the
DC circuitry of the refrigerator .

Leveling
The All-Electric Refrigerator will operate effi-
ciently 30 degrees off-level so it is not necessary
to level the refrigerator .
Defrosting
Since ice and frost are poor heat conductors,
a frost build-up of 1/a " or more should be
avoided . It decreases overall cooling capacity
and increases power consumption . To lessen
frost accumulation avoid putting hot or steam-
ing food in the refrigerator .
To defrost the refrigerator, turn the thermo-
stat to the "OFF" position. When accumulated
ice has melted, the water can be removed from
the drip pan under the freezer compartment .
Cleaning
The cabinet interior should be cleaned regu-
larly . Remove shelves and wash the lining with
lukewarm water to which a mild soap may be
added. Dry thoroughly, especially around door
frame and door gasket . Warm water only should
be used to wash the cooling evaporator, ice trays
and shelves . Never use strong chemicals or
abrasive cleaning materials on any part of the
cabinet.
To Shut Off Refrigerator
When refrigerator is not in use set the ther-
mostat to "OFF," remove water from drip pan,
remove all food-stuffs from cabinet, and leave
door slightly ajar to permit air circulation .
KITCHEN RANGE/OVEN
IMPORTANT: Before operating the Range/Oven
see the carbon monoxide caution at the begin-
ning of this section .
Always wait 5 minutes before relighting
Range/Oven to allow excess gas to dissipate .
Recreational vehicle range/ovens differ from
conventional residential units in several ways :
1 . The units are more compact.
2 . The units are equipped with oven thermo-
stat control which allow you to manually shut
off the gas to the oven pilot when traveling . Also,
the range pilot is controlled by a separate range
pilot shut off valve.
