SPECIAL HINTS
Note. Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.
The refngerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and
with
must be level. A spirit level is supplied by
placing it in refrigerator both ways front to back and side to side. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure care should be taken to ensure a complete sealing between the front frame of the
refrigerator and the top, this purpose a length of sealing the front frame. A sealing strip should also be applied to the
foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in fig 8. The sealing
should provide a complete isolation of the appliance combustion
system from the vehicle interior.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of
the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place.
In the front frame and in the base at the rear of the refrigerator
there are holes for screws for fixing the refrigerator in the enclo-
sure. See fig. 9.
Any space between counter or storage area and the top of the
refrigerator greater than 1 1/2” should be blocked. The heat pro-
duced at the rear of the refrigerator will otherwise become trap-
ped in this space making the top of the refrigerator hot and
reducing the efficiency of the refrigerator.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
HOW TO START THE REFRIGERATOR
Leveling
In
the boiler ammonia vapor is distilled from an am­monia-water mixture and carried to the fined con­denser, where it liquifies. The liqiud flows to the eva-
porator where it creates cold by evaporating into a
circulating flow of hydrogen gas. If the evaporator coil
is not level the liquid readily accumulates, forming pockets which can impair the gas circulation or even block it, in which case, of course, the cooling will stop.
When the recreational vehicle is stationary it must be
leveled to be comfortable to live in. If the refrigerator is properly installed, i e the freezer shelf parallel to
the floor, the refrigerator will then also perform well.
A dubble level should be placed on the freezer shelf. When the vehicle is on tow, the continuous rolling and pitching movement will not affect the refrigerator as long as the movement passes either side of level, but when the trailer is temporarily parked this sensitivity of the refrigerator should be remembered. So, once more, before you start the refrigerator make sure it is level.
Gas operation with piezo igniter
1.
To start the refrigerator turn the knob A to position
“GAS”.
2.
Turn the thermostat knob B a quarter of a turn from position “OFF”
3.
Push the button C to stop and push the button D of the piezo igniter. The pushing has to be repea-
ted until the gas is lit at the burner. This can be
observed through the reflector E.
4.
After the gas is lit keep the button C pushed for
10 seconds. Release the button and check through the reflector that the burner flame stays burning. If not repeat the lighting procedure. To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off position.
Flame Blow Out
If trouble is encountered under specially windy conditions, try to avoid the wind blowing against the wall where vent outlets are loca­ted. If the trouble persists, set the thermostat to MAX. This later measure can of course only be temporary such as when the vehicle is on tow, for after a day or so at this setting the foodstuffs in the cabinet will fre­eze.

HOW
Operation
Check that the attachment plug is correctly con­nected to the mains supply. When the refrigerator
is equipped also for 12 Volts D C operation the low
voltage connection is made at the marked termi-
nals at the rear of the refrigerator. Turn the knob A to desired position for electric operation. Turn the thermostat knob B a quarter of a turn from position “OFF”. To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off position.
TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
with
the flame blowing out
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 liable to absorb odors should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc should be covered to retain their crispiness. The col­dest positions in the refrigerator are underneath the cooling evaporator and at the bottom of the refrigera­tor, and the least cold positions are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when different types of food are placed in the refrigerator. The bottle retainer in the lowest door compartment is divided in two removable parts, see fig.
NOTE: As soon as the necessary cold temperature in inside the cabinet has been reached, adjust the ther­mostat knob to required setting.
Gas Operation with automatic reigniter
1.
To start the refrigerator turn the knob A to position
gas Lamp E comes on.
2.
Turn the gas thermostat knob B a quarter of a turn from position “OFF”.
3.
Press the button C to stop and keep it depressed. When lamp E goes out wait 15 sec. and release
button C. If the lamp comes on again, repeat the procedure. If flame blow out reignition will take place automatically. To shut off the refrigerator
turn the knob A to off position.
NOTE: After a replacement of the gas container or a long shut off period the gas line is likely to be filled with air. In such a case the lighting procedure has to be repeated until the air is pushed out of the line and the gas has reached the burner.

Defrosting
Shut off the tmpty the retrigerator leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator and the open. If desired, defrosting may be speeded up by ling the ice tray with hot water and placing it in the freezer. When the frost on the tinned evaporator on has melted water The drip tray should be emptied at regular intervals. When all frost is 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 food stuffs and set the thermostat to MAX for a few hours. Then
reset the thermostat knob to its normal position. Note: On the RM2801 the drip tray is placed on the rear side of the refrigerator.

Frozen Food Storage Compartment
The ice trays should be placed in direct contact with
the freezer shelf for fastest ice making. Quick frozen
soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the col-
dest part of the compartment which is at the bottom of the aluminum liner or, in models with a shelf, on this or just below it. Frozen vegetables, on the other hand, may be stored in any part of the compartment. The compartment is not designed for the deep or quick freezing of food stuffs. Meat or fish foods, whether raw or prepared, and provided they are

about three times as long as in the fresh food storage compartment. To prevent drying out, keep food in
covered dishes, in plastic, bags or wrapped in alumi-
num foil.
Ice
Making
Ice cubes can be made in the ice trays which should
be filled with water to within
To release the ice cubes seize the tray with both hands
an twist the tray. Cubes not required should preferably
be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray with water and
replace the tray on the freezer shelf. Ice making is accelerated if the thermostat knob is turned to setting “MAX”. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before
an anticipated need for ice but be sure to turn the knob
back to normal setting when the ice is formed or the foodstuffs in the cabinet may become frozen

ELECTRIC
EQUIPMENT
Cartridge heater
The refrigerator is equipped also for electric opera­tion. Many models are eqiupped for both 120 Volts A C and 12 Volts D C operation. The heat necessary for the operation of an absorption type cooling unit is supplied by an electric cartridge heater mounted on a pocket of the boiler system. To replace the heater first of course check that the wall plug is disconnected. If the refrigerator is equipped also for 12 Volts D C ope-
ration make sure that the 12 V leads are disconnected.
Then proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the cover of the main control structure by loosening the two screws Disconnect the heater leads

The Thermostat
The electric thermostat is combined with the gas ther-
mostat and is thus operated by the knob B at the front panel. The temperature in the refrigerator can be re­gulated by turning the thermostat knob. Although the exact setting is not critical choose a setting at which the frost which gradually forms on the cooling evapo­rator is just maintained in dry condition. It will be ne­cessary to turn the thermostat knob closer to MAX when the ambient temperature becomes higher or the load unusually heavy. If less cooling is required a lo­wer setting should be chosen.

WARNING
If the refrigerator is used intermittently it should be checked at least once a year. It is important to keep
the appliance area clear and free from, combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquides. Check the venting system. The flow of com-
bustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed. Check the flue baffle that it is clean and reasonalby free from soot. Heavy soot formation indicates impro-
per functioning of the burner. Clean baffle and flue.
Further, clean cooling unit and floor under refrigera­tor. The entire gas installation should be checked for
leaks at intervals. Test all pipe connections soapy
water, not with an open flame.
NOTE. Any service of the gas controls, with exeption
for the above, mentioned replacement, maintenance
and cleaning operations must be performed by an au-
thorized service center only.
NOTE: Avoid water spraying through the refrigerators vents while washing your RV.
