Operating the Refrigerator Controls

AC Operation120 volts AC

(108 volts min.-132 volts max.)

Propane gas operation: Propane gas

(11 inches water column pressure)

12 volts DC - control voltage

(10.5 volts min. - 15.4 volts max.)

The refrigerator operates on these energy sources. Operation out of these limits can damage the refrigerator electrical components and will void the warranty.

Control panel:

The refrigerator control panel (See Art01333) is between the freezer compartment and the fresh food compartment. To maintain the operating control functions of the refrigerator, a 12 volt DC power supply is necessary. The refrigerator receives DC power from the 12 volt system of the vehicle; either an auxillary battery, a converter, or the vehicle engine battery.

The ON / OFF button [1] starts and shuts down the refrigerator:

-To turn on the refrigerator, push and release the ON / OFF button.

-To turn off the refrigerator, push the ON / OFF button for two seconds and then release.

The SET TEMP button [2] controls the temperature adjustment of the freezer and the fresh food compartment. The temperature adjustment that you select does not change if the operation mode of the refrigerator changes.

-Push the SET TEMP button and the temperature setting (the numbers “1-9”) show in the center display [3].

-The number “9” is the coldest temperature setting.

-Push and hold the SET TEMP button and the temperature setting changes.

-Release the SET TEMP button when the temperature setting that you wish appears.

-After ten seconds, the temperature setting will go out and only a green power ON light remains.

The MODE button [4] controls the operation mode of the refrigerator:

-Push and hold the MODE button and each of the operating modes of the refrigerator show one at a time in the center display.

-There is one automatic mode of operation and two manual modes of operation.

-When the mode of operation that you wish shows in the center display, release the MODE button.

NOTE: If you should forget in what mode your refrig- erator is operating, push and release the MODE button to show the current mode of operation in the center display for 10 seconds.

Automatic mode operation:

When the refrigerator is in AUTO mode, it automatically uses the most efficient energy source that is available for operation. During operation, if a more efficient energy source becomes available, the refrigerator controls change from the current energy source to the more efficient energy source as follows:

-The first choice is AC operation if 120 volts AC is available to the refrigerator.

-The second choice is propane gas operation if 120 volts AC is not available to the refrigerator.

-The third choice is DC operation (on 3-way models only) if neither 120 volts AC nor propane gas is available to the refrigerator.

Removing air from the propane gas supply lines:

For safety reasons, the burner is made to ignite on propane gas within a specified amount of time. When starting the refrigerator for the first time, after storage, or after replacing propane gas tank, the propane gas supply lines can have air in them. Due to the air in the gas supply lines, the burner may not ignite on propane gas within the specified amount of time.

To remove the air from the propane gas supply lines:

-Make sure that valve of the propane gas tanks(s) is open.

-Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.

-Push and hold the MODE button until the letters “LP” show in the center display.

-This means that the refrigerator is operating on propane gas.

-If the air in the propane gas supply lines prevents the burner from ignition on propane gas, the fault codes “no” and then “FL” will appear in the center display and you will hear an alarm sound.
