Travel latch:

NOTE: During daily use, turn the travel / storage latch so that is parallel with the edge of the door (See Art01101).

Use the travel latch feature to lock the refrigerator door in the closed position. When you engage the travel latch, the door cannot accidentally open during travel.

To engage the travel latch:

2.Turn the travel / storage latch [2] so it is parallel with the edge of the door.

3.Close the door of the refrigerator.

4.Push the door closed to compress the gasket and turn the travel / storage latch into the slot of the metal refrigerator frame [3].

5.Continue to turn the travel / storage latch until the ball shaped stop [4] engages the ball shape [5] of the metal refrigerator frame.

To disengage the travel latch:

1.Push the door closed to compress the gasket and turn the travel / storage latch until the ball shaped stop disengages the ball shape of the metal refrigerator frame.

2.Continue to turn the travel / storage latch so it comes out of the slot in the metal frame and is parallel with the edge of the door.

3.Open the door of the refrigerator.

Storage latch:

Use the storage latch feature to prevent the build up of odors when the refrigerator is shut down for a long period of time. When you engage the storage latch, the refrigerator door will not be fully closed.

Ignition and Start Up

Controls:

Thermostat	1
Selector switch	2
Gas safety valve	3
Piezo lighter	4

The thermostat [1] changes the amount of propane gas that goes to the burner (See Art01029). This acts as the tempera- ture control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest tem- perature setting.

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

When the outside air temperature is less than 50° F, the refrigerator may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder temperature settings. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:

-Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.

-Keep the refrigerator full.

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

The selector switch [2] changes the energy source of the

refrigerator between propane gas ( ), AC electric ( ), and

DC electric ( ) (3-way models only) and shuts down the refrigerator at the

OFF ( ) position.

The gas safety valve [3] is built into the control panel. As long as a flame is present, the valve is open and allows propane gas to flow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes and stops the flow of propane gas.

The igniter [4] makes a spark which ignites the flame in the burner.

Ignition - propane gas operation:

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

2.Turn the thermostat to the coldest temperature setting.
