The LP-Gas function of the refrigerator and LP-Gas pressure will need
servicing yearly, depending on use. Over time, the BTU rating of the flame
can change, affecting the refrigerator's performance. Ambient temperature
and humidity can also affect performance and function. The BTU rating
lowers when operating on LP-Gas at an altitude higher than 5,500 feet.
This affects the refrigerator's performance. If possible, switch mode
operation to AC while at a higher altitude.
The cooling unit is equipped with a pair of cooling fans to help pass air
across the cooling unit. These fans start automatically and are audible when
in operation.
• Turn the refrigerator off and remove all items. Leave the
drip tray under the cooling fins.
• Shorten defrost time by using trays of warm water. Do not
use a heating gun, hair dryer or sharp objects to remove
frost as these can damage the interior or cooling unit.
• Wash the interior using mild spray cleansers or a solution
of liquid dish detergent and warm water. Do not use
scouring pads or abrasive cleansers as these can damage
the interior finish.

• Rinse with a solution of baking soda and water. Dry with a
clean cloth.
• Lock the doors open.
CAUTION: When defrosting, do not use a hot air blower.
Permanent damage could result to plastic parts. Do not use a knife,
ice pick or any other sharp instrument to remove ice from the
freezer as they can puncture the system.
The microwave works from 120 Volt AC supplied by shore power, the
generator or the inverter. Microwaves heat food using sound waves generated
at a very high frequency (2,450 MHz) to agitate water, sugar and fat
molecules. The higher the water and fat content, the shorter the cooking time.
A turntable rotates inside the microwave when it is operating to heat food
evenly. The turntable can be turned off if a baking dish or other large item is
used. The microwave is designed to sit over the cooktop. The microwave's
two-speed ventilation fan is handy when using the cooktop. The fan draws
air in from the bottom of the microwave through a pair of grease filters then
discharges the filtered air out through a charcoal filter at the top. If the
bottom of the microwave becomes too warm, the ventilation fan activates
automatically from heat produced by the cooktop.
