HOW TO START THE REFRIGERATOR Leveling
In the boiler ammonia vapor is distilled from an
When the recreational vehicle is stationary it must be leveled to be comfortable to live in. If the refrigerator is properly installed. e e the freezer shelf parallel to the floor, the refrige- rator will then also perform well.
A bubble level should be placed on the freezer shelf. When the vehicle is on tow, the continuous rolling and pitching movement will not affect the refrigerator as long as the move- ment passes either side of level, but when the trailer is tempo- rarily parked this sensitivity of the refrigerator should be re- membered. So, once more, before you start the refrigera-
tor make sure it is level.
Flame Blow Out
If trouble is encountered with the flame blowing out under specially windy conditions, try to avoid the wind blowing aga- inst the wall where vent outlets are located. If the trouble persists, set the thermostat to MAX. This later measure can off course only be temporary such as when the vehicle is on tow, for after a day or so at this setting the foodstuffs in the cabinet will freeze.
Electric Operation (Fig. 4)
1.Check that the attachment plug is correctly connected to the mains supply. When the refrigerator is equipped also for 12 Volts D C operation the low voltage connection is made at the marked terminals at the rear of the refrigerator
2.Turn the knob A to desired position for electric operation
3.Turn the thermostat knob B to setting 4
To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off position.
Gas Operation (Fig. 4a) with piezo igniter
To start the refrigerator turn the knob A to position “GAS” Turn the thenostat knob B to setting 4
Push the button C to stop and push the button D of the piezo igniter. The pushing has to be repeated until the gas is lit at the burner. This can be observed through the reflector E
After the gas is lit keep the button C pushed for 10 se- conds. Release the button and check through the reflector that the burner flame stays burning. If not repeat the ligh- ting procedure.
To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off position.
NOTE: As soon as the necessary cold temperature in insi- de the cabinet has been reached, adjust the ther- mostat knob to required setting.
Gas operation (Fig. 4b) with automatic reigniter
1.To start the refrigerator turn the knob A to position gas Lamp E comes on.
2.Turn the gas thermostat knob B to setting 4.
3.Press the button C to stop and keep it depressed. When lamp E goes out wait 15 sec. and release button C. If the lamp comes on again, repeat the procedure.
If flame blow out reignition will take place automatically. To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off position.
NOTE: After a replacement of the gas container or a long shut off period the gas line is likely to be filled with air. In such a case the lighting procedure has to be repeated until the air is pushed out of the line and the gas has reached the burner.
HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR Food Storage Compartment
The food storage compartment is completely closed and un- ventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. Consequently foods having a strong odor or liable to absorb odors should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc should be covered to retain their crisp- ness. The coldest positions in the refrigerator are underneath the cooling evaporator and at the bottom of the refrigerator, and the least cold positions are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when different types of food are placed in the refrigerator.
Defrosting
Some refrigerator models are equipped with an automatic defrosting device incorporated with the cooling unit. This devi- ce makes a quick defrost of the finned evaporator section about once a day without affecting the frozen food storage compartment or the frozen foods contained in it. When the frozen food storage compartment is covered with frost the refrigerator must be shut down temporarily till the frost is melted. Before the refrigerator is restarted the compartment should be dried, the ice trays washed and refilled with fresh water.
When the frost on the finned evaporator section has melted water will be collected in the drip tray. The drip tray should be emptied at regular intervals.
Some refrigerators without the automatic defrosting device should be defrosted regularly by turning off the refrigerator. Empty the refrigerator leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator and the cabinet and freezer doors open. If desired, defrosting may be speeded up by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it in the freezer.
When all frost is melted, empty the drip tray and dry the interior of the refrigerator with a clean cloth.
Replace the drip tray and ice tray, replace all food stuffs and set the thermostat to MAX for a few hours. Then reset the thermostat knob to its normal position.
