This method of installation and these clearances will give you adequate space for service and proper installation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical, as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia from accumulating in the evaporator tubing.
IMPORTANCE OF LEVELING A
REFRIGERATOR
In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is lique- fied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.
When starting this refrigerator for the very first time, the cooling cycle may require up to four hours of running time before the cooling unit is fully operational.
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid ammonia, flowing downward by gravity through this section. If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the ve- hicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This will slow the cir- culation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a loss of cooling.
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled to prevent this loss of cooling.
The vehicle needs to be leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable sloping of floor or walls).
OPERATION
Before starting the refrigerator, check that all the manual gas valves are in the ON position. DO NOT forget the manual shutoff valve on the rear of the refrigerator see FIG. 1.
This refrigerator is equipped with a control system, which can be set to automatically select either 120 volt AC or LP gas operation (AUTO mode), or if desired LP gas only (GAS mode).
In both AUTO mode and GAS mode operation, the tem- perature is controlled by a factory preset temperature setting.
The refrigerator controls will work down to 9.6 volt DC.
! WARNING
Most LP gas appliances used in recreational ve- hicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When parked close to a gasoline pump, it is pos- sible 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 out- side.
