Monarch SE 2004-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 4 Appliances | 153
This section covers operation and care of various appliances found in the
motorhome. The motorhome is equipped with a refrigerator, cooktop range,
microwave, furnace, water heater, roof air conditioner and several optional
appliances. Many of these appliances operate on AC or DC current, LP-Gas or a
combination of the three.
INFORMATION: Detailed information with CAUTION or
WARNING instructions for the various appliances, other than
what is found in this section, can be found in the manufacturer’s
manuals.
WARNING: Before entering any type of refueling station make
sure all LP-Gas operated appliances are off. Most LP-Gas
appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the
outside. When parked close to a gasoline pump it is possible for
fuel vapors to enter this type of appliance and ignite, resulting in
an explosion or fire. Carbon monoxide gas may cause nausea,
fainting or death. Operating an LP-Gas appliance with
inadequate ventilation or partial blockage of the flue can result
in carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not store flammable liquids
such as lighter fluid, gasoline or propane in the outside
refrigerator compartment.
The refrigerator in the motorhome operates on a different principle than a
standard household refrigerator. Knowing these differences should answer
questions or solve problems that may arise. A standard household refrigerator uses
a compressor to pump refrigerant. This system is efficient as long as 120 Volts AC
is available.
The motorhome refrigerator uses a different refrigerant. The refrigerant is heated
which causes the refrigerant to circulate and vaporize. Using gravity, the refrigerant
returns to the absorber vessel to start the process again. To ensure longevity and
proper operation of the refrigerator, follow the specific guidelines in the refrigerator
manual. With proper care and maintenance, the refrigerator should provide years
of trouble-free service.
INFORMATION: Refer to the refrigerator manual for detailed
operating and maintenance instructions.
