Setup and Installation

Location Requirements

• Install the refrigerator in a level position to ensure proper operation and drainage.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator. Refer to your RV manufacturer's guidelines for specific ventilation requirements.
• Avoid direct sunlight exposure to the refrigerator, as this can reduce cooling efficiency.

Electrical Connection (120V AC)

• Connect the refrigerator to a dedicated 120V AC circuit.
• Ensure the circuit is properly grounded and protected by a circuit breaker.

LP Gas Connection

• All LP gas connections must be performed by a qualified service technician.
• Ensure all gas connections are leak-tested before operation.

Initial Startup

1. After installation, allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 4 hours before connecting to power. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
2. Connect to either AC power or LP gas.
3. Set the temperature control to a medium setting.
4. Allow 4-6 hours for the refrigerator to reach optimal operating temperature before loading with food.

Operating Instructions

Control Panel

The control panel is typically located inside the fresh food compartment. It allows you to select the operating mode and adjust the temperature.

Operating Modes (2-Way Operation)

• AUTO Mode: The refrigerator automatically selects the best available power source (AC or LP Gas). AC power is prioritized when available.
• LP GAS Mode: The refrigerator operates solely on LP gas. Use this mode when AC power is not available or desired.

Temperature Control

Adjust the temperature setting using the control knob or buttons on the control panel. A higher setting typically indicates colder temperatures. Start with a medium setting and adjust as needed based on ambient temperature and load.

Food Storage Tips

• Do not overload the refrigerator, as this can restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Ensure proper air circulation around food items.
• Keep doors closed as much as possible to maintain internal temperature.
• Cover liquids and moist foods to prevent moisture buildup and odor transfer.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
• Door Seals: Clean door seals regularly to ensure a tight seal.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will accumulate frost over time. Defrost the unit when frost buildup exceeds 1/4 inch (6 mm).

1. Turn off the refrigerator and disconnect power.
2. Remove all food items and place them in a cooler.
3. Leave the freezer and refrigerator doors open to allow frost to melt. Place towels at the bottom to absorb water.
4. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before restarting.

Ventilation and Cooling Unit

• Periodically check the exterior vents for obstructions (e.g., insect nests, debris). Clean as necessary to ensure proper airflow.
• Ensure the cooling unit fins at the rear are free of dust and debris. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently clean them.
