10. 120 volt AC connection
The refrigerator is equipped with a three prong
(grounded) plug for protection against shock hazards
and should be plugged directly into a properlygrounded
three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut off or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the
cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended that the
receptacle be located to the left side of the refrigerator
(viewed from the rear) and approximately6 inches from
the floor. (See Fig. 9). This allows easy access through
the vent door. The cord should be routed to avoid
contacting the burner cover, flue cover, or any other
components that could damage the cord insulation.

n 3-WAY REFRIGERATOR MODEL
The 3-way model has a 12-volt DC terminal block
located under a plastic cover on the back of the
refrigerator for the refrigerator heater. (See Fig. 6)
The refrigerator must be connected by a separate
curcuit to the battery with two wires of adequate
capacity to avoid voltage drop when the 12 volt DC
heater is being operated. The wire gauge should be
chosen with consideration to the length, refer to the
Table below for wire size. The 12 volt DC circuit must
be fused; refer to the Table below for fuse size.
DO NOT use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a
substitute for either ofthe two conductors. DONOT

SECTION B. OPERATION
1. Importance of leveling a refrigerator
In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is
liquified in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of
the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows intothe
evaporator (inside the freezer section) and isexposed
to acirculating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition inthe
freezer.
The tubing inthe evaporator section isspecifically
sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid
ammonia, flowing downward by gravity, through this
section. Ifthe refrigerator isoperated when it isnot level
and the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will
accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This
willslowthe 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 beleveledto preventthis lossofcooling.
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.

The refrigerator isequipped with athermostat that can
be adjusted byturning knob “6” to a different setting
to maintain the desired cabinet temperature (See Fig.
13).
A
B.
C.
“OFF” Setting of the Thermostat: In gas
operation, the thermostat closes its main valve
and the burner runs continuously at the bypass
rate or pilot. In electrical operation, the contacts
in the thermostat are open and the heating
elements are off.
“MAX” Setting of the Thermostat: In gas
operation the thermostat allows the burner to
remain on high flame continuously. In electric
operation, the heating element is “ON”
continuously.
The thermostat can beadjusted between “MAX”
and “OFF” to obtain the desired cabinet
temperature. The closer the knob isto “MAX” -
the colder thecabinet temperature. The closerthe
knob is to “OFF” - the warmer the cabinet
temperature.
When the thermostat reaches the set
temperature, itwill cut the burner back to bypass
or, in electric operation, shut off the heating
element.
The setting ofthe thermostat isnotcritical, butwe
recommend it be adjusted to maintain adry frost
on the cooling fins. Adjust the thermostat knob
closer to “MAX” when the outside temperature
becomes warm.
6. How to use the refrigerator
A. Food Storage Compartment
The food storage compartment is completely
closed and unventilated, which is necessary to
maintain the required low temperature for food
storage. Consequently, foods having a strong
odor or those that absorb odors easily should be
covered. Vegetables, salads, etc. should be
covered to retain their crispness. The coldest
positions in the refrigerator are under the cooling
fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The
warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This
should be considered when placing different types
of food in the refrigerator.
One-half of the lower door shelf is equipped
with fingers. The fingers are designed to prevent
largecontainers(half-gallonof milkorjuice)from
shifting or spilling while traveling.
B. Frozen Food Storage Compartment
Place quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream in the
coldest part of the freezer compartment, which is
at the bottom of the aluminum liner. In models with
a shelf, place these foods on or just below the
freezer shelf. Frozen vegetables may be stored in
any part of the freezer compartment.
This compartment is not designed for the
deep or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish,
whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the
frozen food storage compartment provided it is
first pre-cooled in the refrigerator. It can be stored
about three times longer in the frozen food
compartment as compared to the fresh food
compartment. To prevent food from drying out,
keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags
or wrapped in aluminum foil.
C. Ice Making
Ice cubes can be made in the tray. Fill tray with
water to within l/4 inch @mm) from the top. For
faster ice making, place the tray in direct contact
with the freezer shelf.
To release the ice cubes, hold the tray with
both hands and twist the tray. Preferably, unused
cubes should be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray
with water and place the tray on the freezer shelf.
-9-

Ice making is accelerated if the thermostat knob
“B” is turned to the “MAX” setting. It is a good
idea to do this a few hours before you require ice.
Be sure to turn the thermostat back to the normal
setting when the ice is formed. Food in the lower
compartment can be frozen ifthe thermostat is left
on “MAX”.
D. Defrosting
Shut off the refrigerator by turning knob “A” to
“OFF” position. Empty the refrigerator, leaving
the drip tray under the finned evaporator. Leave
the cabinet and freezer doors open. Defrosting
time can be reduced by filling the ice tray with hot
water and placing it on the freezer shelf. When all
the frost has melted, empty the drip tray and dry
the interior of the refrigerator with a clean cloth.
Replace the drip tray and ice tray. Replace all the
food and set the thermostat to its normal position.
CAUTION
DONOT use a hot air blower as permanent damage
could resultfromwarping the metalor plastic parts.
DO NOT use a knife, ice pick or other sharp tools to
removefrostfromthe freezer shelf. They can create
a leak in the ammonia system.
E. Cleaning
To clean the interior lining of the refrigerator, use
lukewarm, weak soda solution. The evaporator,
ice trays and shelves must be cleaned with warm
water only. It is important to always keep the
refrigerator clean.
NEVER USE STRONG CHEMICALS OR
ABRASIVE CLEANING MATERIALS ON ANY
PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
7. Shut-off/Storage Procedure
To shut off the refrigerator, turn knob “A” to “OFF”
position. Ifthe refrigerator will not be in operation for a
period of weeks, you should empty, defrost and clean
it; and leave the doors ajar. Dry the ice tray and keep it
outside the cabinet.
SECTION C. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
1. Perlodlc maintenance
To keep your Dometic refrigerator operating efficiently
and safely, periodic inspection and cleaning of several
components is recommended once or twice a year.
A.
B.
It is important to keep the area at the back of
the refrigerator clear. Check the lower vent, upper
vent and the area between these openings for any
obstructions such as bird/insect nests, spider
webs, etc. It is important to keep the refrigerator
area free from combustible material, gasoline and
other flammable liquids or vapors.
Check all connections in the LP gas system (at
the back of the refrigerator) for gas leaks. The LP
gas supply must be turned on. Apply a non-
corrosive bubble solution to all LP gas
connections.
WARNING
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK
