MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

The user should be aware of service that must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly. The service should only be per- formed by a qualified technician who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerators.

1. HEATER

The heat necessary for the operation of an absorption cooling unit is supplied by an electric heater mounted in a pocket of the boiler system.

This model is equipped with two electric heaters, one for 120 volt AC and one for 12 volt DC.

To replace the heater proceed as follows:

1.Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 120- volt AC outlet.

2.Disconnect or shut off the 12 volt DC power to the refrigerator.

3.Remove the power module cover see FIG. 1.

4.Disconnect the 120 V AC heater leads from the power module or the 12 V DC lead from the relay.

5.With a pair of pliers unfold the lug holding the lid of the boiler casing and open the lid.

6.Remove some insulation wool so that the heater is accessible.

7.Turn and lift the heater out of its pocket.

8.Fit the new heater into the pocket.

9.Connect the heater leads and put on the power module cover.

10. Reset the insulation and close the lid of the boiler.

2. REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL

Before working on the refrigerator, make sure the AC voltage and DC voltage leads are disconnected. Shut off the gas supply at the LP tank. Disconnect the gas sup- ply line at the rear of the refrigerator, see FIG. 1.

Always use a back up wrench when loosening and tight- ening connections.

Cap the gas supply line, loosen the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the enclosure and slide the refrigera- tor out of the compartment.

When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the seal- ing strips are properly positioned.

Replacement is the reverse of removal. Check all con- nections for gas leaks.

Refer to section INSTALLATION, page 4 to 8.

3. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

To keep your Dometic refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, periodic inspection and cleaning of several components once or twice a year is recommended.

A.It is important to keep the area at the back of the refrigerator clean. Check the lower vent, upper vent and area between these openings for any obstruc- tions such as bird/insect nests, spider webs, etc. Clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft bristled brush to dust off the coils.

It is important to keep the refrigerator area free from combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids.

NOTE: The following maintenance is required once or twice a year, but should only be done by a qualified ser- viceman who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrig- erators.

B.Check all connections in the LP gas system (at the back of the refrigerator) for gas leaks. The LP gas supply must be turned on. Apply a non-corrosive bubble solution to all LP gas connections.

The appearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should be repaired immediately by a QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH GAS SYS- TEM AND REFRIGERATORS.

!WARNING

DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
