To decrease the amount of ice that forms on the cooling fins:

-Cover all liquids and moist foods.

-Let hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.

-Do not open the door any longer than necessary.

Operating the Refrigerator Controls

Controls:

The refrigerator control panel [1] is located on the rear of the refrigerator (See Art00954). Unlike refrigerators with electric controls, this refrigerator will operate on one energy source, independently of the others.

-Turn the gas control to LOW COOL position.

-Keep the refrigerator full.

-Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.

The gas control has a gas safety valve built into it. As long as a flame is present, the safety valve is open and allows propane gas to flow to the burner. Any loss of flame (empty gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow of propane gas.

The piezo lighter [3] makes a spark which ignites the flame at the burner.

The 3 Amp fuse [4] protects the AC wiring of the refrigerator.

The 20 Amp fuse [5] (model 323) protects the DC wiring of the refrigerator.

The energy selector [1] changes the energy source of the refrigerator between propane GAS, AC electric, and DC electric (See Art00953).

A nonadjustable thermostat controls the AC and DC operation of the refrigerator. The thermostat has a capillary sensor that is attached to the cooling fin. The AC or DC electric heater operates in response to the temperature of the cooling fin to keep the refrigerator temperature constant.

The gas control [2] changes the amount of propane gas that goes to the burner. This acts as the temperature control of the refrigerator. When operating the refrigerator on GAS, you can change the refrigerator temperature to the desired setting by putting the gas control at any position between HIGH COOL and LOW COOL. HIGH COOL is the coldest temperature setting.

NOTE: This is not an automatic gas control. It does not change the flame from high fire to low fire as with other RV refrigerators. If the cooling load changes, you must manually change the gas control to maintain the same temperature inside the refrigerator.

When the outside air temperature is below 50° F., the refrigerator may have a tendency to freeze food. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:

Ignition - propane gas operation:

WARNING: Do not us a match for ignition. An ignition flashback can cause burns to the hand or face. If, in an

emergency, you must use a match for ignition of the refrigerator, do not hold in the gas control for more than five or ten seconds at a time and use the longest match possible.

1.Open the lower intake vent to get access to the rear of the refrigerator.

2.Open the valve at the propane gas storage tank.

3.Open the viewing window on the burner box .

4.Turn the energy selector switch [1] to the GAS position (See Aet00953).

5.Turn the gas control [2] to the HIGH COOL position.

6.Push and hold in the gas control.

-In rapid succession, push the igniter [3] in several times.

-Look through the viewing window and make sure that ignition occurred.

WARNING: Do not hold the gas control in for more than 30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at least five minutes before you try ignition again. If you continue to hold the gas control in, gas will collect in the burner area. This could cause a fire or an explosion and result in dangerous personal injury or death.

-Continue to hold the gas control in for about 15 seconds only.

7.Turn the gas control to the amount of cooling that you wish.

8.Close the viewing window on the burner box.
