Refrigerator - Winnebago Journey Manual

SECTION 4 –
APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
It is recommended to replace the water filter
when the indicator light changes to red, or earlier
if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice
maker noticeably decreases.
See the manufacturer's user guide included in
your InfoCase for water filter ordering
information.
NOTE: Air trapped in the water system may
cause the filter to eject. Always dispense
water for at least 2 minutes before
removing the filter.
Removing/Replacing the Water Filter
• Turn water filter counter-clockwise and pull
down.
• Remove sealing label from replacement filter
and insert the filter end into the filter head.
• Turn the filter clockwise until it stops.
• Snap the filter cover closed.
NOTE: Flush four gallons of water through
water filter before use.

REFRIGERATOR

®
(Norcold )
The refrigerator in your coach can operate
from either of two energy sources available to the
motorhome:
• 120-Volt AC Electric
• Propane Gas
To be able to use both types of energy, the
refrigerator does not have a compressor like
household refrigerators. Instead, it uses an
ammonia-water solution for cooling. Basically,
ammonia vapor is distilled from the solution by
heat produced from either propane gas flame or
electrical heat element. The ammonia vapor is
then carried to the finned condenser where it
liquefies. The liquid then flows to an evaporator
4-2
where it creates cooling by evaporation. The
ammonia circulates back into the water solution
and the cooling cycle continues.
Leveling
Before operating the refrigerator when the
motorhome is stationary, place a small level on
the bottom of the refrigerator and make certain
the unit is level. If over 1/2 of the bubble is inside
the circle in any direction, the coach is level
enough for continuous operation of the
refrigerator while parked.
Place bubble level in bottom of refrigerator
Bubble must be at least 1/2 inside circle
Normal vehicle leveling to provide comfort
for the occupants is satisfactory for refrigerator
operation.
NOTICE
To prevent permanent damage to the
refrigerator cooling unit, turn the
refrigerator off if the vehicle will be parked
on an incline of over 3 side-to-side or 6
front-to-rear (such as steep driveways or
parking lots, etc.) for more than one hour.
