REFRIGERATOR
Performance of refrigerators depends on various factors, such as,
energy, venting, leveling, humidity and atmospheric heat
temperatures, but not limited to these. All refrigerators are designed
with absorption type of cooling units requiring careful leveling and
venting conditions.
Leveling
The refrigerator is made to operate within 3 degrees off level side-to-
side and 6 degrees off level front-to-back ( as looking at the front of
the refrigerator ). Operating it at more then these limits can cause
damage to the cooling system and create a risk of personal injury or
property damage. Make sure the vehicle is as level as possible
before you operate the refrigerator.
Operation During Travel
While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is stopped,
performance during travel is not usually effected.
Venting
For an absorption unit to operate fully it must have two vents. The
lower vent serves as access to service components and allows air to
enter. As the refrigerator heats up, warm air leaves through the
upper vent in the roof or the upper side vent. The roof vent gives
the best “chimney” results. However with correct baffles, side vent is
good. All vents must prevent birds and rodents from entering.
Door Sealing
Check the seal of the door.
If either door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect inside
the refrigerator. Make sure the doors seal correctly.
* Close each door on a piece of paper
that is about the size and thickness
of a dollar bill.
