easily climb inside.
● The storage of flammable materials behind or around
the refrigerator creates a fire hazard. Do not use the
area behind the refrigerator to store anything, especially
flammable materials (gasoline, cleaning supplies and etc.)
● Do not remove the ground prong from the AC power cord
of the refrigerator. Do not use a two prong adapter or an
extension cord with either AC power cord.
● A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the wires

directly against the cabinet. The minimum air gap must be
50mm minimum.
● For good circulation, the vent at the top and bottom of the
refrigerator must not be blocked. Your refrigerator should
be placed on flat and firm surface for quieter operation.
● Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunlight or a heat
source such as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc.
● Do not under any circumstances place heated beverages
in your refrigerator.
● Do not open the door more often than necessary to lessen
the escape of cold air.
● For better air circulation, do not overfill the unit.
● Adjust the temperature regulator according to the amount
of product and the ambient temperature.
● Turning it to maximum will cause it to run continuously and
ice up. Avoid the maximum setting.

The thermostat control knob for is located on top of storage
compartment.
Read and understand the following maintenance sections of
this manual.
NOTE: Furrion is not responsible for installation, adjustment,
alteration, service, or maintenance performed by anyone
other than a qualified RV dealer or a Furrion authorized
service center.
Have a qualified RV dealer or a Furrion authorized service
center do this annual safety and maintenance check:

Refrigerator Care Checklist
Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if
you do these simple checks every three to six months:
● Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See
“Cleaning” section.
● Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”
section.
● Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing”
section.
● Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of
weather, loading, or control changes. If changes occur,
contact your dealer or service center.
● Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent, through
the refrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper
exhaust vent is not blocked or decreased.
● Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do
not use the area behind the refrigerator for storage of
anything, especially combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Defrosting
English
The first time you turn on your refrigerator, rotate the
thermostat control knob to the “3” position and leave enough
time for your refrigerator to cool down completely before
loading stuffs.
The thermostat control knob has five settings. “1” is the
warmest. “5” is the coldest. The “3” level should be the most
appropriated setting for office or RV refrigerator use.
Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the
refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator and freezer as necessary.
The cooling fins of the refrigerator operates at temperature
below freezing and will form frost from humidity naturally,
which is always present in the air. The humidity inside the
refrigerator increases:
– With higher outside temperature and humidity.
– With the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods
storage.
– With the amount of time that the door(s) are open.
– With any air leakage into the refrigerator.

Cleaning
Remove/Reinstall the Refrigerator
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not
practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution - about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
This both cleans and neutralizes odors.
English
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This
helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of
shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (if equipped) with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference may cause
them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet
towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in
the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Your dealer or Furrion authorized service center must do this
procedure.
CAUTION: The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and
corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on the
refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant gloves.
1. Remove the AC power cord from the receptacle.
2. Remove the plastic vents from the mounting flanges of the
refrigerator.
3. Remove the screws from the upper and lower mounting
flanges on the front of the refrigerator.
4. Remove the refrigerator from the opening.
Repeat steps 4 to 1 to reinstall the refrigerator into the
enclosure.
Refrigerator Storage
Before the refrigerator is stored for an extended (seasonal)
period of time.
● Defrost and clean the interior of the refrigerator. See
“Cleaning” section for detail.
● Close the doors with the storage latch.
If the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time,
before start up:
● Make sure there are no obstructions in the vents, the
ventilation air pathway, or the flue area.
Replacement Parts
Door Sealing
If either door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect
inside the refrigerator. Make sure the doors seal correctly:
1. Close each door on a piece of paper that is about the size
and thickness of a dollar bill.
2. Gently pull the paper. You should feel a slight drag
between the gasket and the cabinet.
3. Do this on all four sides of the door.
4. If you do not feel a slight drag on the paper, the door does
not seal correctly Have your dealer or a Furrion authorized
service center to correct the seal of the door.
You may purchase replacement parts through your local RV
dealer or Furrion authorized Service Center.
LED Lamp Replacement
The interior light is at the top of the fresh food compartment.
To replace a burned-out bulb:
1. Unplug the refrigerator from its receptacle.
2. Remove the LED lamp cover by pulling it downward.
3. Unscrew the screws holding the LED lamp after fully
cooled down and replace with a bulb in the same or lower
wattage.
4. Install the cover.
