COOLING
SYSTEM
f7\
When
turning on the refrigerator,
you
should ad-
N/
just
the thermostat
(excludes
RM2351,
RM2451,
RM2551
,
DM2652 & DM2852 -
not
adjustable) to
the coldest temperature
setting. The
cooling cycle
may require
an extended running time
before cool-
ing effect is
observed.
LEVELING
THE REFRIGERATOR
Leveling is
one of the requirements for
proper
gperation
with
absorption refrigerators. To
ensure
proper
leveling
the
vehicle needs to be leveled
so
it
is comfortable
to
live
in
(no
noticeable sloping
of
floor
or walls).
Any
time the vehicle is
parked
for
several hours
with the
refrigerator
operating, the vehicle should
be leveled to
al-
low
proper
cooling.
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.
PURGING AIR FROM
THE LINES
lf the refrigerator has not
been used for
a
long
time
-
or
-
the LP tanks have
just
been refilled,
air
may
be trapped in
the
supply
lines.
To
purge
the
air
from
the lines, turn the
refrigerator
off and on by
pressing
the ON/OFF
button.
lf
the
flame
is not lit within 45
seconds, turn the refrigerator
off and
back on
again. This
procedure
can
be
repeated
3
to
4 times. lf repeated attempts fail to
start the LP
gas
opera-
tion,
check
to make
sure that the LP
gas
supply tanks are
not
empty and that all manual shutoff valves
in the lines
are open. lf the
problem persists,
turn
the refrigerator
off
and take it to a Service Center.
WHEN
THE
REFRIGERATOR
IN
USE
NOT
Any
absorption
refrigerator
that is to be taken
out
of serv-
ice
for
an extended
period
of time should
be turned
off.
/A
lt is important
that
you
do not leave
the refrigerator
V/
to run
idle and/or
unattended for days
or weeks.
AUTOMATIC
ENERGY
SELECTOR
SYSTEM
The refrigerator
is equipped with
an automatic
energy
se-
lector
system. The
user tums the refrigerator
on
and
then,
the refrigerator
automatically selects the most
suitable
en-
ergy
source
available, either 120 VAC
or LP
gas
operation.
The
system
can be set by the
user to be fully
automatic
(AUTO
mode
is selected)
or
to
operate
on LP
gas
only
(AUTO

system can manually
be set
to DC
mode
(DC

mode
overrides
all
other
operating modes.
The
refrigerator
controls
willwork
