INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN ENCLOSURE
NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on
carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclo­sure and must be level. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas within the recess in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed. Make sure that there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is ap­plied to the rear surface of the front frame for this pur­pose. Also apply a sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in fig. 6. The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appliances combus­tion system from the vehicle interior. NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the refrigerator is put in place.
Failure to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet. When installing the refrigerator, the installer must block the space between the storage cabinet and the top of the refrigerator, otherwise heat will become trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot, thus reducing the efficiency of the unit.

FIG. 6
Securing the Refrigerator
After the refrigerator is put in place, (insuring a combus­tion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be se­cured in the enclosure with five screws (not included). The screws have to be installed in the following order:
STEP 1: Four screws installed through the front
frame. See fig. 7.
STEP 2: One screw installed in rear base. See fig. 7.
In the parts bag there are plugs to be snapped in the front frame to cover the four screw heads.
FIG. 7
GAS CONNECTION
Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual gas valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF 5/8" -18) male flare connection. All completed con­nections should be checked for leaks with soapy water.
! WARNING
DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water column. When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig, the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its indi­vidual manual shutoff valve. In case detailed instructions on the installation and con­nection to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or distributor.

TESTING LP GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF
The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the re­frigerator is connected to the LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:
1. Start the refrigerator according to the instructions for Gas Operation. See section Operating Instruc­tions.
2. Check that the gas flame is lit. This can be ob­served on the flame indicator E. The red indicator is in the green field, (ON).
3. Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to OFF position.
4. Wait for one minute.
5. Remove burner cover plates. (See fig. 1).
Open the gas valve by turning knob A to position (GAS) without pushing the buttons C and D. Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solution to the burner jet.
6. No bubbles should appear at the opening of the burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a defective gas safety shutoff, and service is re­quired.
7. If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas safety valve is working properly. Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to damage the burner jet. Replace cover and turn the main switch OFF and back ON. See instruction for Gas Operation, section Operating Instructions. Normal operation of the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes.
12 Volts DC Connection
3-way refrigerator model
The 3-way refrigerator model RM 2353, has one termi­nal block marked 12 volts DC located at the bottom left corner on the back of the refrigerator. Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the DC supply. DO NOT use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a substitute for either of the two conductors. Do not con­nect any other electrical equipment or lighting to the re­frigerator circuit. The refrigerator must be connected by a separate cir­cuit to the battery with two wires of adequate capacity to avoid voltage drop when the 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. Maximum fuse size is 20 amps.

The connections must be clean, tight and free from cor­rosion. If not, a resulting voltage drop will cause a de­creased cooling capacity.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
120 Volts AC Connection
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug for protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the cord is 1.6 ft. and therefore recommended that the re­ceptacle be located to the left side of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately 4-6 inches from the floor (see FIG. 8). This allows easy accessibility 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.

! CAUTION
Do NOT operate the refrigerator on 12 volt when the vehicle is parked. The amperage draw of the 12-volt DC heating element can discharge a battery in a very short time. The installation of a 12-volt DC operated refrigerator requires a relay to be installed on the tow vehicle or in the caravan. The relay will auto­matically shut off the 12 volt DC power to the refrig­erator when the ignition is turned off. (See fig. 9).

IMPORTANCE OF LEVELING A REFRIGERATOR
In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is lique­fied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer. 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.
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. 1.

4. After the gas is lit keep the button C pressed for 10 seconds. Release the button and check that the RED indicator is in the GREEN field, (ON).
5. To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to OFF position.
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.

ELECTRIC OPERATION
1. Check to be sure that the power cord is properly connected to the power supply. (See FIG. 8). If the refrigerator is equipped for 12 volt DC operation, the tow vehicle or caravan engine should be running to prevent discharging the battery.
2. Turn the knob A to the position marked AC for 120 volt AC operation or DC for 12-volt DC operation.
3. Turn the thermostat knob B to position 4.
4. 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. In electric operation, the heating element is ON continuously. Lowest cabinet and freezer tem­peratures are obtained at this setting.
The thermostat can be adjusted between MAX and OFF to obtain the desired cabinet temperature. The closer the knob is to MAX - the colder the cabinet temperature. The closer the knob is to OFF - the warmer the cabinet temperature. When the thermostat reaches the set temperature, it will cut the burner back to bypass or, in electric operation, shut off the heating element. The setting of the thermostat is not critical, but we rec­ommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the cooling fins. Adjust the thermostat knob closer to MAX when the outside temperature becomes warm.
HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick­freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled first in the refrigerator. They 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. Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment. For faster ice making, the tray should be placed in direct contact with the bottom of the freezer compartment. 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 the antici­pated need for ice, but be sure to turn the thermostat back to normal setting, usually about mid-setting when the ice is formed. Food in the lower compartment may be frozen if the setting is left on MAX position. Total Refrigerated Volume 3 cu.ft.
DEFROSTING
Shut off the refrigerator by turning the knob A to OFF position. Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray un­der the finned evaporator. Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open. Filling the ice tray with hot water and plac­ing it on the freezer shelf can reduce defrosting time.
NOTE: Defrost water runs from the drip tray to a recep­tacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates. With a lot of defrost water as a result of heavy frosts build up on the cooling fins, remove the drip tray and turn it around. Replace the drip tray with the outlet on the right side of the drip tray and put a bowl under the outlet. When the ice has melted, dry the interior of the refrig­erator with a clean cloth. Replace the drip tray to its origi­nal position and connect the draining tube. Replace all food and set the thermostat to MAX for a few hours. Then reset the thermostat to the desired set­ting, usually at mid-setting.
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.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the bottom of the aluminum liner. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compartment.
10
! CAUTION
DO NOT use a hot air blower. Permanent damage could result from warping the metal or plastic parts. DO NOT use a knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to remove frost from the freezer compartment. They can create a leak in the ammonia system.
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is de­frosted or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice tray and shelves.
NEVER use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts, as the protective surfaces will be dam­aged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator clean.
SHUT- OFF (STORAGE PROCEDURE)
To shut off the refrigerator, turn the knob A to OFF position. If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the door left ajar. The ice tray should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
! WARNING
DO NOT store explosive substances in the refrig­erator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether or the like. NOTE: Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protec-
tion (less than 2 weight % of the coolant).
6. Remove some insulation wool so that the heater is accessible.
7. Turn and lift the heater out of its pocket.
8. Fit the new heater into the pocket.
9. Reconnect the heater leads at the top.
10. Reset the insulation and close the lid of the boiler.

It is important to keep the refrigerator area free from combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids.
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.
B. 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. The appearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should be repaired immediately by a QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH GAS SYSTEM AND REFRIGERATORS.
! WARNING
DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
! WARNING
DO NOT use a wire or pin when cleaning the burner jet as damage can occur to the precision opening. This can cause damage to the refrigerator or create a fire hazard.
10. Reinstall burner, being careful that the end of the burner fits into the slot on the burner bracket. Check to make sure slots are centered under the flue tube and the thermocouple is positioned properly (tip of thermocouple extends over two slots of burner).
C. The LP gas pressure should be checked and the
main regulator readjusted if pressure is incorrect. The correct operating pressure is 11 inches of water column. The correct place to take the LP gas pressure is at the test port just ahead of the burner jet. (See FIG. 11).
D. Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably
clean and free of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning of the burner. The flue and burner both require cleaning in the follow­ing manner:
1. Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 120­volt AC outlet. (See FIG. 8).
2. If the refrigerator is equipped for 12 volt DC. Disconnect or shut off the 12 volt DC power to the refrigerator.
