APPLIANCES - INTRODUCTION

This section covers operation and care of
various appliances found in the motorhome:
refrigerator, cooktop range, microwave, roof
air conditioner and optional appliances. These
appliances operate on AC or DC current, LP-Gas
or a combination of the three.
INFORMATION:
Detailed information with CAUTION
or WARNING instructions for the
various appliances, other than what is
found in this section, can be found in the
manufacturer manuals.
WARNING:
Before entering any type of refueling
station, turn off all LP-Gas operated
appliances. Most LP-Gas appliances
used in recreational vehicles are vented
to the outside. When parked close to
a gasoline pump, it is possible for fuel
vapors to enter this type of appliance
and ignite, resulting in an explosion or
fire.
WARNING:
Carbon Monoxide gas may cause
nausea, fainting or death. Operating
an LP-Gas appliance with inadequate
ventilation or partial blockage of the
flue can result in Carbon Monoxide
poisoning. DO NOT store flammable
liquids such as lighter fluid, gasoline
or propane in the outside refrigerator
compartment.
NOTE:
Features and options vary with floor
plans.

REFRIGERATOR

Follow the specifi c guidelines in the
refrigerator manual to ensure longevity and
proper operation of the refrigerator. With proper
care and maintenance, the refrigerator should
provide years of trouble-free service.
INFORMATION:
Refer to the refrigerator manual for
detailed operating and maintenance
instructions.
NOTE:
To reduce the possibility of food
spoilage, keep the interior box
temperature at or below 40º F. The
refrigerator will consume more
energy to maintain low temperature,
especially in hot, humid climates. Lower
temperature may also lead to more frost
build-up.

Operation Specifics

The refrigerator operates from LP-Gas or
120 Volts AC electric.
DC Voltage for control pad operation
must be no higher than 15.4 Volts DC or
lower than 10.5 Volts DC.
AC voltage must be no higher than 132
Volts AC or lower than 108 Volts AC.
Important: Operate refrigerator only when
level. Level the refrigerator with a torpedo or
bulls eye level. Place the levels on the bottom
shelf of the refrigerator. The bubble should be at
least half-way inside the circles.

CAUTION:
Operating the refrigerator off-level
separates chemicals, causing them to
crystallize and block the circulation
action of the cooling unit. Damage is
cumulative and irreversible.
WARNING:
DO NOT use the refrigerator if there
is an ammonia smell inside or outside
of the refrigerator, or if a yellowish
substance appears inside or at the
outside access compartment. This can
be an indication of a refrigerant leak.
Contact an authorized repair facility.
For the refrigerator to operate:
The house batteries must be charged.
The battery cut-off switch must be on.
The primary LP-Gas valve must be on,
the electric gas valve must be on or an
AC source must be available.
The icemaker water valve (located at
the plumbing manifold in the service
bay) must be open if the refrigerator is
equipped with an icemaker.
