E. CLEANING

Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean the interior of the refrigerator, use lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gaskets, ice trays and shelves. NEVER use strong chemi- cals or abrasives to clean these parts as the protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator clean.

F. SHUTOFF (STORAGE PROCEDURE)

Place the toggle switch(es) for DC and AC operation to the "OFF" position or turn the gas valve to position "OFF", as applicable. See FIG. 8.

When not in use, the refrigerator should be emptied, cleaned and dried and the door left open so that fresh air can circulate inside.

The travel latch placed in the second hole will hold the door ajar and allow air to circulate.

Most LP gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that the gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, when refueling, shut off all LP gas appliances which are vented to the outside.

SECTION D. MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

TIPS FOR THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN

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 performed by a qualified technician who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerators.

1. REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL

Before working on, or removing the refrigerator, make sure the electrical supply (AC and DC) is turned OFF before leads are disconnected. Shut off the gas supply. Disconnect and cap the gas supply line. Loosen the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the enclosure and slide the refrigerator out of the compartment.

Replacement is the reverse of removal. Check all connections for gas leaks. Refer to Section A, Item 1 through 13 of Installation Instructions.

2.PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

To keep a Dometic refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, periodic inspection and cleaning of several compo- nents 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 obstructions 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.

NOTE: AVOID SPRAYING WATER THROUGH THE REFRIGERATOR VENTS WHEN WASHING THE RV.

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

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 noncorrosive bubble solu- tion to all LP gas connections. The appearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should be repaired imme-

diately by a qualified serviceman who is famil-

iar with LP gas systems and refrigerators.

DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
