Start up
Turn the power on and set the thermostat between 3
and 4� You can make further adjustments to suit your
personal requirements after the box has cooled down�
Allow the refrigerator to come down to temperature
before loading with product� Adding pre-cooled product
will help keep the temperature stable when loading�
Setting the thermostat to a higher setting e�g�, 7, will
not decrease the time required for the unit to cool down
to its normal operating temperature� The unit will cool
at the same rate on DC as on AC�
Defrost & Cleaning
The frequency of defrost is dependant on the number
of door openings, the ambient temperature and the
humidity level� Typically, it is a good practice to defrost
once there is ¼ inch of frost buildup on either side of
the evaporator (cold plate)� When defrosting, the unit
is shut off at either the breaker panel or by turning the
thermostat counterclockwise to the OFF (0) position�
Prop the door open� We suggest placing a towel in the
bottom of the refrigerator to catch excess moisture�
Now that the unit has been defrosted, the interior can
be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner� Do not use
“Brillo” or “SOS” type abrasive pads, as they will score
the surfaces� Baking soda is recommended�
CAUTION
Speeding up the defrost process with a knife
or scraper is strongly discouraged due to the
likelihood of rupturing the refrigerant circuit.
Microwave Ovens
Refer to the Certied Performance Checkout sheet,
included in your owner’s packet, for manufacturer,
model, and serial number information�
Range
There is little difference between the operation of
home gas ranges and the touring coach’s range� If,
however, you are used to an electric range, operating
condence can be quickly gained by reading the
manufacturer’s directions provided in the owner’s
packet� Manufacturer’s service and parts manuals are
also available�
WARNING
The operation manual for the range is titled
Motorhome Cooking Appliances. If this has not
been provided with your touring coach, contact
the listed manufacturer to obtain. Their manual
contains specialized Warnings and Cautions
that should be reviewed prior to operating the
appliance.
Refrigerator/Freezer
Review all refrigerator literature supplied in your
owner’s packet or stored in the refrigerator prior to
operating it�
Operation
The refrigerator requires 12-volt current to operate,
even if running on 120-volt mode� The 12-volt current
is used to power the circuit board that directs the
refrigerator functions�
All units are supplied with a wide range thermostat
designed to sense the evaporator (cold plate)
temperature� The coldest position on the thermostat is
reached by turning the knob to the right (clockwise);
conversely turning the thermostat knob to the left
(counterclockwise) yields a warmer setting� The OFF
position is reached by turning hard counterclockwise
past the click� The reference point is shown with an
indicator sticker beside the knob�
