Appliances And Systems; Refrigerator - Residential - Winnebago Journey Manual

SECTION 4 – APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
The appliances installed in your motorhome
are manufactured by reputable RV appliance
makers and have been tested by independent
laboratories to meet all applicable standards and
codes set for RV appliances.
See Section 2 - Safety and Precautions of this
manual for any safety and precautions you need
to take regarding the operation of your
appliances.
REFRIGERATOR -
RESIDENTIAL
-If Equipped
Your coach may be equipped with a
"residential style" refrigerator, which features a
filtered external water and ice dispenser, among
many more key features. This refrigerator
operates off of the 120-volt electrical system in
your coach.
In order to operate, the refrigerator requires
either the shoreline to be plugged in, the
generator running, or inverter power.
The inverter is intended to power your 120
volt residential refrigerator primarily when
driving your vehicle. The house batteries will
drain quickly if the refrigerator is powered from
the inverter when the engine is not running. Other
120 volt appliances and other 120 volt devices
are not intended to operate with inverter power
for long periods of time as they too will quickly
drain your house batteries.
NOTE: The refrigerator operates off of 120-volt
power. When power is off, the ice maker
drain valve (located behind sidewall
access compartment) needs to be in the
ON position. This will ensure that water
does not discharge from the water
dispenser when power is reconnected to
the appliance.
Temperature controls are factory preset for
your convenience. See the manufacturer's user
guide provided in your InfoCase for information
on adjusting refrigerator/freezer temperatures to
best suit your needs.
Basic Refrigerator Operation
• Press the On/Off button to start up the
refrigerator.
• Press and Hold the On/Off button for three
seconds to turn off the refrigerator.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours for your refrigerator to
cool completely before storing food.
Basic Freezer Operation
• Press the ice maker switch to the On position
to start up the ice maker.
• To turn off the ice maker, press the ice maker
switch to the Off position.
NOTE: The ice maker On/Off switch is located
on the ice maker itself.
Your ice maker is equipped with an
automatic shutoff, which has sensors to
automatically stop ice production (but
the control will remain in the On
position).
Replacing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the upper right-
hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.
Your refrigerator is equipped with water filter
indicator lights, which remind you when it is time
to order and replace the water filter. When the
yellow (Order) light comes on, it is almost time
to change the filter. When the red (Replace) light
comes on, a new water filter should be installed.
