manufacturer listed under the Component Manufacturers
contact list.
Each appliance in your camper is warranted by its’
manufacturer. It is very important that you review all the
literature provided in the Owner’s packet that came with your
camper. Fill out and return all warranty registration cards as
required by the appliance manufacturers. If you have any
questions regarding the operation of the appliances in your
unit, contact your selling dealer. Also, please notify your
dealer of any shortage of literature you may have.
After taking delivery of your Nücamp RV camper, spend
some time familiarizing yourself with the exterior and interior
features. Your interior has been designed with utility and
comfort in mind to provide spaciousness and versatility.
Familiarize yourself with the bedding and dining arrangements
as well as the various storage areas inside and out.
Lighting Propane Appliances
NOTE: New propane tanks or empty tanks that have been
sitting with the valve open for a period must be purged of air
and moisture prior to filling. Air trapped in the propane lines
may delay the initial lighting of any appliance. It could take
several seconds or minutes for the propane to reach the
appliance. To purge some of the air from the propane system,
first light a burner on the range. The other appliances will then
light more quickly.
The first time the furnace or oven is operated, paints and oils
used in manufacturing may generate some smoke and fumes.
If this occurs, open doors and windows to air out the camper.
These materials should burn off in a short time. Always follow
the appliance manufacturer’s lighting and operating
instructions.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator operates on 120-volt AC power, propane
and/or 12-volt DC. The operating instructions supplied in the
Owner’s Information Package will help you with detailed
information from the manufacturer.
The recreational vehicle propane type refrigerator operates on
the “absorption” principle and therefore must be reasonably
level. When your camper is stationary, it should be leveled for
comfortable living. If you can occupy the camper comfortably,
the refrigerator unit should perform well. If the refrigerator
unit is not “close to level”, it may not function properly and
your food will not be adequately cooled. When the RV is in
motion, the continuous movement will not affect operation.
The operating instructions are printed inside near the controls
and may be found in the manufacturer’s instructions manual.
Operating Tips
Operate the refrigerator on 120-volts for 8 hours (overnight)
before you leave on a trip. This will allow the refrigerator to
get cold.
Pre-cool food and drinks before putting them into the camper
refrigerator. For off-truck use, some refrigerator models must
have 12-volt battery hookup to power the electronic controls.
Refer to the supplied appliance manuals for proper operating
instructions.
Gas Mode
This mode provides LP gas only. The control system activates
the ignition system and attempts to light the burner for a
period of approximately 45 seconds, at 2 minute intervals. If
unsuccessful, the indicator lamp will not illuminate. Check
Fridge Owner’s manual to trouble shoot.
DC Mode
When DC mode is chosen, the refrigerator will operate by
pulling power from the battery/s. In most cases, the
refrigerator controls will work down to 10.6v DC, causing a
drain on the battery/s.
Please Note: a 3-way fridge in 12-volt mode isn’t designed to
cool your fridge only to help maintain fridge’s current
temperature. Please See Fridge owner’s manual.
Purging Air from the Lines
If the refrigerator has not been used for a long period or if the
LP tanks have just been refilled, air may be trapped in the
supply lines. Purge the air from the lines by pressing ON/OFF
button to OFF and then back to ON, 3-4 times. If repeated
attempts fail to start the LP gas operation, check to make sure
the LP tanks are not empty and that all manual shutoff valves
in the lines are open.
Range
The gas burners and oven use propane gas for fuel. Operation
is similar to the range in your home. However, cook
temperatures will vary from home ranges depending on the
altitude.
Before turning on the main propane supply, be sure all burner
and control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation.
Before operation:
1) Open window.
The warning label is in the cooking area to remind you to
provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike
homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size
of the recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when using
the cooking appliance(s) will avoid danger of asphyxiation. It
is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for
comfort heating as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when
the appliance is used for long periods of time. Never use
portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal
grills and stoves inside the vehicle because a fire or explosion
may result.
Lighting Surface Burners
The surface burners will feature match lit ignition. Be sure all
control knobs are in the OFF position before supplying gas to
the appliance. Be sure the main LP gas supply is on before
lighting the burner.
If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, or if the flame
should go out during cooking, turn the burner OFF. If gas has
accumulated and a strong gas odor is detected, open a
