For the best cooling performance:
- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.
- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling fins:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.
Freezer compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food
frozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in the
freezer compartment.
NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is
freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermo-
stat is at the coldest temperature setting.
Door latch for travel and storage:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.
There are no chains, slides, or any devices that you must
engage.
During storage, the door latch prevents the door from com-
pletely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigerator is
shut down for a long period of time.
To use the door latch for storage (See Art00979):
- Open the door just so the door latch [1] is between the ribs
[2] of the latch plate [3].
Ignition and Start Up
The thermostat [1] (See Art00976) changes the amount of
propane gas that goes to the burner. This acts as the tempera-
ture control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest tem-
perature setting.
When the outside air temperature is below 50° F, the refrigera-
tor may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder temperature
settings. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:
- Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.
- Keep the refrigerator full.
- Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.
The selector switch [2] changes the energy source of the
refrigerator between propane gas (
), AC electric ( ), DC
electric (
), and OFF ( ).
The gas safety valve [3] is built into the control panel. As long as
a flame is present, the valve is open and allows propane gas to
flow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty gas tank, blow
out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow of gas.
The piezo igniter [4] makes a spark which ignites the flame in
the burner.
The flame meter [5] shows if a flame is present in the burner.
Ignition - propane gas operation:
1. Open the valve at the gas storage tank.
2. Turn the thermostat to the 5 position.
3. Turn the selector switch to the propane gas position (
).
4. Push and hold in the safety valve and push in the igniter
several times in rapid succession, for about five seconds:
WARNING: Do not hold in the safety valve for more than
30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at least
five minutes before you try ignition again. If you continue
to hold in the safety valve, gas will collect in the burner
area. This could cause a fire or explosion and result in
dangerous personal injury or death.
- When a flame is present and the flame meter moves into
the green area, release the safety valve.
- If the flame meter does not move into the green area, do
this step again.
5. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.
