Appliances; Water Heater; Refrigerator; Three Way Automatic Refrigerator - Fleetwood Southwind 1995 Owner's Manual

The appliances installed in your motor home are tested
by independent laboratories and comply with rigid
standards established by these organizations. All appli-
ances are covered by Fleetwood's Ownercare War-
ranty program. Each appliance is also warranted by its
manufacturer.
NOTE: The individual appliance manuals in-
cluded in your Owner's Information Package
contain detailed operating and maintenance
instructions. Always refer to the respective
manual for the appliance in question.
WARNING
THE WATER HEATER AND FURNACE COM-
BUSTION AIR EXHAUST PORTS MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT DURING WATER HEATER
AND FURNACE OPERATION. DO NOT
TOUCH THESE OUTLETS OR ALLOW ANY
MATERIAL TO COME WITHIN CLOSE PROX-
IMITY OF EXHAUST PORTS WHILE OPER-
ATING THE WATER HEATER ANDIOR FUR-
NACE.
WATER HEATER
The water heater operates on LP gas, and is much like
the one in your home. It contains an automatic shut off
valve which stops the gas supply if the water tempera-
ture rises too high. The water heater is reached through
an access panel on the outside of the motor home.
CAUTION
DO NOT LIGHT WATER HEATER UNTIL IT IS
FILLED WITH WATER.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the galley sink. If water
flows continuously the heater is full.
REFRIGERATOR
Consult the operating instructions furnished in your
Owner's Information Package. Before operating the
refrigerator when the motor home is parked, make sure
it is level. If it is not level, the refrigerant will not circulate,
cooling action will stop, and the refrigeration system
may be damaged.

APPLIANCES
The refrigerator uses the absorption principle of opera-
tion.lf you plan to cool food or drinks in high outside
temperatures, precool the food, and park the motor
home with the refrigerator vent door in the shade. Once
the interior of the refrigerator is cool, the refrigeration
system will usually maintain this temperature. If the
inside of the refrigerator is hot, the food is not pre-
cooled, and the outside temperature is high, be pre-
pared for longer cooling times.
Three Way Automatic Refrigerator
(If Equipped)
Some models may be equipped with a Three-Way
Automatic Energy Selector refrigerator. The refrigera-
tor will automatically select the best available energy
source for the conditions -120-volt, 12-volt or LP gas.
The refrigerator will only operate on 12-volt DC power
when the motor home engine is running.
If battery power is low, a built-in battery protection
feature switches refrigerator operation to LP gas. An
indicator lamp on the refrigerator will light. When the
battery charge level is normal, the refrigerator auto-
matically returns to the 12-volt operating mode.
Acrylic Refrigerator Door Panels
(If Equipped)
Some refrigerator models are equipped with a decora-
tive acrylic door panel. Use a cleaner specially formu-
lated for acrylics and a soft cloth to clean this surface.
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents or cleansers.
FURNACE
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by LP gas. All
furnaces are equipped with a wall thermostat for indi-
vidual temperature settings.
The furnace will not operate properly if your stored
personal items block the free flow of air at the registers
or the return air to the furnace. Storage under cabinets
should be done carefully so as to not crush or damage
the furnace ducting.
Smoke and fumes created as a result of burning off
manufacturing compounds are sometimes present the
first time the furnace is used. This is normal; however,
