FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

[. . . ] The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid ammonia, flowing downward by gravity through this section. If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a loss of cooling. Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled to prevent this loss of cooling. The vehicle needs to be leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable sloping of floor or walls). When the vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical, as the rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia from accumulating in the evaporator tubing. 1. Push the button C in until it reaches the bottom and hold, push the button D for the piezo igniter several times to light the burner. Release the button and check that the RED indicator is in the GREEN field, (ON). NOTE: After changing an LP tank, or after a long shut off period, the gas line is likely to be filled with air. You may have to repeat the lighting procedure several times to purge the air out of the gas lines. !WARNING Most LP gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that the gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. FOR YOUR SAFETY, when refueling, shut off all LP gas appliances which are vented to the outside. 9 GAS OPERATION Before starting the refrigerator, check that all the manual gas valves are in the ON position. Do not forget the manual shutoff valve on the rear of the refrigerator see FIG. Check to be sure that the power cord is properly connected to the power supply. If the refrigerator is equipped for 12 volt DC operation, the tow vehicle or caravan engine should be running to prevent discharging the battery. Turn the knob A to the position marked AC for 120 volt AC operation or DC for 12-volt DC operation. To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to OFF position. THERMOSTAT The refrigerator is equipped with a thermostat that can be adjusted by turning the knob B to different setting to maintain the desired cabinet temperature. At OFF In gas operation, the thermostat closes its main valve and the burner runs continuously at the bypass rate, just enough to keep the burner lit. In electrical operation, the contacts in the thermostat are open and the heating elements are off. At MAX In gas operation, the thermostat allows the burner to remain on high flame continuously. [. . . ] Use a soft bristled brush to dust off the coils.

NOTE: The following maintenance is required once or twice a year, but should only be done by a qualified serviceman who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerators. Check all connections in the LP gas system (at the back of the refrigerator) for gas leaks. [. . . ]
