Ice Maker Optional, Refrigerator Care Checklist

Ice Maker (Optional)

The ice maker is assembled to the refrigerators at the factory as optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factory installed ice maker, one cannot be added to the refrigerator at a later time.

The ice maker is fully automatic and will operate in ambient temperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at tempera- tures between 0° F and 32° F., the ice maker has a heater on the solenoid water valve and on the water line between the solenoid valve and the ice maker. At temperatures below 0° F, store the ice maker as written in the “Ice Maker Storage” section of this manual.

CAUTION: The water line heater does not protect the water supply line from the vehicle shut off valve to the solenoid valve on the back of the refrigerator.

When the freezer temperature of the refrigerator is low enough, the ice maker opens the water solenoid valve and fills the mold. The ice maker ejects the frozen ice into a storage bin. As the storage bin fills, the ice raises the shut-off arm until it turns off the ice maker. As you use the ice and lower the ice level in the storage bin, the shut-off arm also lowers. This turns the ice maker ON and begins the process of making ice.

The ice maker operates on:

-Cold potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.

-120 Volts AC (108 VAC min. - 132 VAC max.).

Ice maker operation:

1.Make sure the ice maker AC power cord (white) is plugged into a receptacle.

2.Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.

NOTE: Make sure that the ice maker arm can move freely and does not touch the frozen foods in the freezer.

3.Push the ice maker arm down to the ON position [1] (See Art01015).

CAUTION: If you operate the refrigerator without connecting the water supply line and/or opening the

water shut off valve of the vehicle, make sure the ice maker arm is up in the OFF position.

4.Allow the freezer to cool enough and ice production will begin to fill the storage bin [2].

NOTE: New plumbing connections and/or impurities in the water supply line after winterizing can cause the first ice to be discolored or have an odd flavor.

5.To stop the ice maker, push the ice maker arm up to the OFF position [3].

Refrigerator Care Checklist

Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:

-Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See “Cleaning”.

-Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.

-Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.

-Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or gas control changes. If changes occur, contact your dealer or service center.

-Make sure the gas supply is propane gas only and not butane or a butane mixture.

-When in propane gas operation, examine the appearance of the flame. See “Gas Flame Appearance”.

-Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent, through the refrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper exhaust vent is not blocked or decreased.

-Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do not use the area behind the refrigerator for storage of anything, especially combustible materials, especially gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Defrosting

The cooling fins of the refrigerator operate at below freezing temperature and will naturally form frost from humidity, which is always present in the air. The humidity inside the refrigerator increases:

-with higher outside temperature and humidity.

-with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.

-with the amount of time that the door(s) are open.

-with any air leakage into the refrigerator.
