INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
INTO THE ENCLOSURE
1. Make sure that the height of the enclosure is between
59.875 and 60.125 inches for HE-08xx models or
between 52.875 and 53.125 inches for HE-06xx models.
The width of the enclosure must be between 23.50 and
23.65 inches. The depth of the enclosure should be at
least 24.00 inches.
2. The floor must be solid and level and must be able to
support the weight of the refrigerator and contents.
Never install the refrigerator directly on carpeting.
3. When installing the refrigerator into the enclosure
recess, all areas within the recess must be sealed to
prevent exhaust fumes from entering the living space.
Insure that the combustion seal is compressed between
the front mounting flange of the refrigerator and all sides
including the top and bottom of the enclosure. The
bottom trim must be installed so that the mounting holes
line up with the two holes in the bottom flange (Fig 12).
4. The refrigerator must be secured in place with four
wood screws. Two screws secure the bottom flange and
the bottom trim to the bottom of the enclosure and 2
screws secure the top flange to the top of the enclosure.
5. The refrigerator is certified to operate in an enclosure
with zero clearance to combustible materials refrigerator
as illustrated in Fig. 7 for the top (G), sides (K), bottom
(L) and back (M) of the refrigerator.
VENTILATION
Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake vent and
one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits for this refrigerator
are certified for use with these models and must be installed
exactly as written in this manual without modification. Any other
installation method voids both the certification and the factory
warranty of the refrigerator.
VENT CUTOUT DIMENSIONS (Rough Opening)
Upper Roof Vent Base 24” x 5 ¼ “
Side Vent Cutout Dims 13 ¾ “ x 21 ½ “
INSTALLATION OF LOWER VENT
The bottom of the opening of the lower fresh air intake should be
even with floor of the enclosure. With the lower vent in this
position, it can provide a path for any leaking propane fumes to
escape and not collect at the
floor level. The center of the lower vent should be directly behind
the center of the refrigerator as illustrated in Fig. 8.
INSTALLATION OF UPPER ROOF VENT
The upper roof vent should be aligned directly above the
refrigerator with a free and unobstructed path for the air flow
rising up from the refrigerator’s condenser.
Ideally the roof vent is installed directly above the condenser of
the refrigerator as shown in Fig. 9. Other installations require the
roof vent to be positioned more in the center of the vehicle which
requires the construction of a special baffle to angle the air back
to the roof vent as shown in Fig 10.
FIG 7
FIG 8
FIG 12

3
For installations where the depth of the enclosure is
greater than 26 inches, additional baffling may be
required to direct the airflow thru the absorber and
condenser section of the refrigerator as shown in Fig 10.
The refrigerator must be positioned with respect to the
upper roof vent so that a minimum ventilation height is
achieved as illustrated in Fig 11. The minimum
ventilation heights are:
Refrigerator Min Ventilation Height
HE-06xx 57.75 in
HE-08xx 63.75 in
Slide-Out Applications
There are some vehicle applications, such as in slide-out
configurations, where a roof vent is not practical. For those
applications, the roof vent is replaced with an upper side
vent as shown in Fig 14 and Fig 15 below. It is important
to note that for these installations with restricted air flow,
Atwood offers refrigerator models with a built-in external
fan to insure that adequate ventilation is provided and to
insure optimal cooling performance.
For installations with an enclosure depth of between 24”
and 26”, the installation is given in Fig 14. It is important to
install the two baffle sections highlighted in red in the
diagram. These baffles can be pieces of sheet metal
which extend the entire width of the refrigerator cabinet.
The main objective of these baffles is to force the
ventilation air through the condenser fin section and to
prevent hot air from collecting above the condenser and
directing it out the upper side vent.
For installations with an enclosure depth greater than 26”,
the installation is given in Fig 15. Both baffle sections must
be the entire width of the refrigerator cabinet. The lower
box baffle (highlighted in red) forces the air from the lower
side vent up through the absorber coils. It is very important
that the top section of the lower box baffle extend up to
within an inch of the lower corner of the condenser fin to
insure that air is directed thru condenser section as well.
The top baffle section can be made of sheet metal and
must also extend the entire width of the cabinet. It’s
purpose is to prevent hot air from collecting above the
condenser and directing it out the upper side vent.

DECORATIVE DOOR PANELS
The doors are designed to accept decorative door
panels to match the kitchen décor. The decorative
panels must be 0.187 inch or less in thickness. Door
panels should be installed in the refrigerator doors
before installing the refrigerator in the vehicle.
The upper door panel dimensions for both models are
21 –1/2 inch wide by 14 - 11/16 inch tall.
The lower door panel dimensions for the HE-0601 are
21 –1/2 inch wide by 31 –1/4 inch tall.
The lower door panel dimensions for the HE-0801 are
21 –1/2 inch wide by 37 - 15/16 inch tall.
To install the door panels, first pull the panel retainer off
the side of each door. Push the door panel into the slots
of the door and push the panel retainer back into place
to hold the panel inside the door. See Fig 13.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
120 Volts AC Connection
This refrigerator is supplied with a 3-prong AC power
cord which should be plugged into a properly grounded
3-prong receptacle. DO NOT use an extension cord or a
2-prong adapter with the power cord. NEVER cut or
remove the grounding prong from the plug as this is
provided for your safety. It is recommended that the
receptacle be located to the left side of the back of the
refrigerator, approximately 6 inch above the floor. The
cord should be routed to avoid contact with any hot or
sharp metal surfaces which could damage the cord’s
insulation.
The AC operating range is: 108 VAC –132 VAC
12 Volts DC Connection
The refrigerator’s electronic controls require 12 volt DC
to operate. The DC supply lines should use a minimum
of 18 gauge wire. The refrigerator connections require a
insulated 1/4 inch female Quick Connect terminal to be
applied to each DC supply wire. The positive DC power
wire is connected to the power board terminal marked
“+12in”. The DC ground wire is connected to the power
board terminal marked “GND”. DO NOT use the
chassis of the refrigerator or the vehicle as one of the
conductors. Connect the two DC supply wires from the
battery directly to the refrigerator.
The DC operating range is: +9.0 VDC - +15.0 VDC
GAS CONNECTIONS
All gas supply connections must comply with the ANSI A
119.2 (NFPA 1192) and CSA Z240 standards for
Recreational Vehicles.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure
regulator to maintain a supply pressure of 11 inches
water column.
Atwood recommends using 3/8 inch copper tubing as the
gas supply line. The gas supply line is connected to the
refrigerator at the inlet of the gas safety valve which is a
3/8 inch SAE (UNF 5/8 -18) male flare fitting.
The gas supply line is pushed up thru a hole in the floor
behind the refrigerator. The hole must be large enough
to provide adequate clearance for the gas supply line
and positioned such that the supply line is not rubbing
against anything in the enclosure. A weather resistant
grommet or seal should be installed around the gas
supply line in the hole thru the floor to prevent vibration
and abrasion.
Checking for gas supply system leaks
All gas supply system connections must be checked for
leaks using soapy water.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS
When using compressed air to check for leaks, the test
pressure must be no more than 1/2 PSI (14 inches of
water column).
.TESTING THE GAS SAFETY VALVE
The gas safety valve must be tested after the refrigerator is
connected to the gas supply.
1. Start the refrigerator in the manual GAS mode.
2. Open the lower fresh air intake vent located behind the
refrigerator.
3. Verify that the refrigerator’s burner is lit.
4. Remove one wire from the solenoid of the gas safety
valve.
5. The flame should extinguish and the control will begin
sparking as it begins a 40 second trial ignition.
6. After the 40 second trial ignition, the CHECK indicator
should be lit and the GAS indicator will flash indicating
the burner is not lit. This indicates that the gas safety
valve is working properly.
7. Put the wire back on the solenoid of the gas safety
valve.
8. Close the lower fresh air intake vent.
9. Turn the refrigerator off and then, after 5 seconds, turn
the refrigerator back on to remove the CHECK condition.
REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
This procedure should only be done by your RV dealer or an
authorized Atwood service center.
1. Shut off the gas supply line at the LP tank
2. Disconnect the gas supply line at the rear of the
refrigerator. ALWAYS USE two wrenches to loosen and
tighten gas supply connections to avoid possible leaks.
3. Cap the gas supply line
4. Unplug the AC power cord from the receptacle in the
back of the enclosure
5. Disconnect the DC input lines from the powerboard.
6. Loosen the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the
enclosure in both the front and back of the cabinet.
7. Slide the refrigerator out of the enclosure.
When replacing the refrigerator, make sure that the combustion
sealing strips behind the front surface of the breaker are
undamaged and intact. As the refrigerator is slid into the
enclosure, insure that the combustion seal is compressed
uniformly all around the refrigerator between the front breaker and
the edge of the enclosure. To complete the installation, follow the
reverse order of the removal steps above. After making the gas
connections, check all connections for leaks.

CONTROL PANEL
The refrigerator control panel is located between the
fresh food and freezer compartments of your refrigerator.
The refrigerator control requires +12 volts DC to operate.
There are three pushbuttons.
POWER ON –Pressing this pushbutton turns the
refrigerator on and off.
MODE –Pressing and holding this pushbutton cycles
the mode selections from AUTO, manual GAS, and
manual AC. Releasing the pushbutton selects the last
mode displayed. The selected mode will be displayed
for approx 5 seconds before all the mode indicators are
turned off. The active mode can be displayed at any
time by pressing and releasing the MODE pushbutton.
TEMP –Pressing and holding this pushbutton cycles the
temperature settings from 1 through 5 with 5 being the
maximum cool setting. Releasing the pushbutton
selects the last temperature setting displayed. The
selected temperature setting will be displayed for approx
5 seconds before all the temperature indicators are
turned off. The active temperature setting can be
displayed at any time by pressing and releasing the
TEMP pushbutton.
AUTO MODE
When the refrigerator is in the AUTO mode, the control
automatically selects the best energy source which is
available. When a more efficient energy source
becomes available, the refrigerator automatically
switches to the more efficient source. AC energy is
considered the more efficient energy source and is the
first choice selected by the control. Propane gas is the
second choice and is selected in the AUTO mode only
when AC energy is not available.
GAS MODE
The GAS mode can be selected either automatically or
manually. When switching to gas operation, the
refrigerator control begins a 40 second trial ignition
cycle. During this period, the control opens the gas
safety valve and begins sparking the burner. If after 40
seconds the control fails to detect the presence of a
flame, the control shuts off the gas safety valve and
stops sparking the burner. The CHECK indicator on the
control panel turns on indicating that the burner failed to
ignite. The CHECK indicator can be reset by turning the
refrigerator off and then back on again and a new 40
second trial ignition cycle begins. On initial start up or
after changing a propane tank, it is possible that air in
the gas supply lines will require 2 or 3 ignition trials
before successfully lighting the burner. If after repeated
attempts, the burner fails to ignite, stop and consult your
local dealer or an authorized Atwood Service Center.
MANUAL MODES
The manual modes allow for selection of either the AC or
GAS modes directly. If the selected mode’s energy
source is not available, the refrigerator is turned off, the
CHECK is turned on and the selected mode indicator flashes on
and off indicating which energy source is not available.
DOOR HANDLES
The door handles latch when closed to prevent the doors from
opening travel. When closing the doors, push each door into the
refrigerator cabinet until you hear a distinct “click” sound which
will indicate that the door is latched. To open a door, pull the
handle away from the refrigerator cabinet to unlatch the handle.
During off-season storage, the handle has a storage latch which
prevents the door from completely closing. Keeping the doors
partially opened during long term storage prevents odors from
building up in the cabinet. To engage the storage latch, open
each door about 1/2 inch, hold the door handle in the open
position, and push the storage latch into the cutout of the strike
plate. Never use the storage latch as a travel latch because the
doors will not be fully closed.
DOOR AJAR ALARM
This refrigerator has an alarm to alert you if the fresh food
compartment door is left not fully closed. If the door is left open
for more than 2 minutes, the CHECK light will be lit and a beeper
will sound a chirp approx every 5 seconds until the door is closed.
The refrigerator will continue to operate normally throughout the
door ajar alarm sequence.
MOISTURE DIVIDER HEATER
This refrigerator has a heater which is automatically controlled
and prevents moisture from forming on the center divider located
between the freezer and fresh food compartments.
BACKUP TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
This refrigerator has a backup temperature control system which
allows the owner to have variable temperature control of the
refrigerator even if the temperature sensor should fail.
If the control cannot read the temperature sensor, the control
uses the selected temperature setting to control the refrigerator
cycle and adjust the temperature accordingly.
THERMAL SWITCH MONITOR
This refrigerator has a thermal switch which serves as an
overheating monitor.
TILT SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
This refrigerator control incorporates a patent pending tilt sensor
which enables the control to constantly monitor the angle at which
the refrigerator is operated. This feature is protects the user from
potential hazards attributed to prolonged operation at severe
angles of inclination. This monitoring function is completely
invisible to the user and only becomes apparent to the user in the
rare event that the refrigerator has been operated for prolonged
periods of time at severe tilt angles. Normal care in leveling of
your vehicle will prevent this feature from ever being noticed.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
FOOD COMPARTMENT
Start up the refrigerator and let it get cool for 8 hours
before loading with food.
Cover all liquids and moist foods to decrease
frosting of fins.
Allow all hot foods to cool before loading them
into the refrigerator
Do not cover shelves with plastic to allow
natural air flow inside of the cabinet
Coldest positions inside the refrigerator are
below the fins and at the bottom of the cabinet.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The frozen food storage compartment is intended for
storage of pre-frozen foods. It is not intended for quick
freezing of warm food.
All food items should be wrapped or in storage
containers
Ice cubes can be made in this compartment by
placing the ice cube tray directly on the bottom
of the compartment.
STORAGE VOLUMES
Total refrigerated volume of HE-0801 is 8 cu ft
Total refrigerated volume of HE-0601 is 6 cu ft
DEFROSTING
The cooling fins of the refrigerator operate at below
freezing temperature and will naturally form frost from
humidity which is naturally present in the air.
When the frost builds up on the fins, the frost will
eventually begin to fill up the space between the fins.
This is the time to defrost the refrigerator.
To defrost the refrigerator –
Turn off the refrigerator and remove all of the
food from the refrigerator and the freezer
Leave both doors open
Defrosting time can be reduced by putting pans
of WARM water in the refrigerator and the
frozen food compartments
DO NOT USE a hot air hair dryer. High temperatures
can cause the inside surfaces of the refrigerator to warp
or melt.
DO NOT USE a knife or ice pick or any sharp tools to
remove frost. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator
or perhaps the cooling system can result.
When all of the frost has melted, dry the interior of the
refrigerator with a clean cloth. Replace the food and turn
your refrigerator back on.
CLEANING
After defrosting the refrigerator is a good time to clean
the refrigerator. The interior can be cleaned with warm
water and a mild liquid dishwashing detergent.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners, strong chemicals, or
scouring pads because they will damage the interior.
Dry all surfaces with a clean cloth before reloading the refrigerator
with food.
MAINTENANCE
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
