Refrigerator
Care Of The Refrigerator
Remove food and ice after each trip. Clean interior with
warm water and liquid dish soap. Wipe dry with soft, dry
cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning material; it will
scratch interior surfaces. Prop the door open during peri-
ods of non-use.
To defrost refrigerator remove frozen food and ice. Turn
off the thermostat. Place a pan of hot water inside the
compartment to speed up the defrosting process. Dry the
interior with a clean cloth.
12v / 120v / Propane Refrigerator
The propane and electric controls are located in the rear
of the refrigerator and are accessible through the doors
in the outside wall of the vehicle. To remove the doors,
turn the black buttons on the lower corners 90° counter-
clockwise to release.
Refer to the manufacturer’s operation manual supplied
with the appliance.
Keep items to be stored in your RV refrigerator or ice box
in your home refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to
leave. This will reduce the cooling load on your RV’s
refrigerator or ice box and help keep perishable foods
fresh longer. Always store food in sealed containers or
suitable wrapping. During travel, use the door latch.
• The refrigerator requires 24 hours of running time to
cool down.
• If the refrigerator has been out of use for an
extended period, make sure all air vents are free
from obstruction and check for propane leaks using
soapy water.
• Never cover or partially cover the air vents with
cardboard or anything else.
• Remember to level the vehicle when stopping for
more than about an hour; otherwise, the cooling unit
could be permanently damaged due to overheating
if it is left on.
For recommended maintenance, refer to the appliance’s
instruction booklet.
Turn on only one energy source at a time.
Furnace
– See manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
The RV furnace is a propane appliance. Heat is dis-
charged into the RV directly through the furnace grill. To
operate the furnace, first remove the cabinet front. Turn
the main propane valve control knob to the OFF position.
Set the thermostat above room temperature. A slight
delay will occur before the blower starts. Allow the blower
to run for five minutes for combustion chamber purge
cycle. After five minutes, set thermostat below room tem-
perature. Turn the main propane valve control knob to
ON position. Set thermostat above room temperature.
Allow 30 seconds for ignition to occur after the blower
comes on. If burner does not ignite, return main propane
valve control knob to OFF. Set thermostat to OFF.
NOTE:
If after three attempts with no ignition, go to shut-down
and contact a qualified service agency. Do not continue
to cycle furnace through thermostat in an attempt to get
ignition.
Care Of Furnace
Your furnace should be inspected before use at least
annually by a qualified service agency. Particular atten-
tion should be given to the combustion chamber gaskets,
soot in vent and main burner. Check your furnace’s own-
er’s manual (supplied with furnace) for more information
and before operation of furnace.
DO NOT use catalytic or open flame heaters in
your RV. This includes wood and charcoal grills
and stoves. The use of this equipment inside the
vehicle may cause fires. These devices, either por-
table or permanently installed, consume oxygen
from the interior space and may contaminate the
air with toxic fumes. These fumes may cause nau-
sea, dizziness or death.
Water Heater
– See manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
The water heater is a propane appliance capable of heat-
ing water to a preset temperature. The water heater fea-
tures an electric ignition. When the system is connected
to city water, fill the water heater by opening a hot water
faucet. When filling the fresh water tank, turn the water
pump ON and open a hot water faucet. In either case,
when water flows steadily, turn the faucet OFF. Any air
still in the tank can be removed by opening the relief
valve in the outside access compartment.
Do not turn on water heater switch until heater tank is
full. Damage will occur to the water heater if turned on
when empty!
See manufacturer’s directions for use and care of water
heater.
