7. Inspect the flue of refrigerator’s cooling system. This area must be free of foreign materials. Foreign materials observed
in the flue indicate the burner requires cleaning.
8. Insure the area directly behind the refrigerator is not being used for storage. Keep the refrigera tor area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
9. Periodically inspect the ventilation system. The air passage from t h e bo t t o m in t a k e v e nt t o r e f r ig e r a t o r c o il s a n d f r om t h e
refrigerator coils through the upper exhaust vent must be unobstructed.
10. Inspect combustion seals (visual check without removing the refrigerator). Combustion seals are
attached to the back surfaces of the refrigerator’s mounting flanges and must be continuous between the wall and the
mounting flanges.
11. Periodically inspect door seals.
Refrigerator Storage
When the refrigerator will not be in use for an extended (seasonal) period of time, it is recommended that all power to the
refrigerator be disconnected. Unplug the refrigerator’s AC power cord from the wall receptacle and disconnect the 12 volt
DC supply wires from the refrigerator’s power board located at the rear of the refrigerator. Clean the re frigerator interior a nd
latch the doors in the storage po sition. After the extended shut-down period, the burner, burner orifice, and flue must be
inspected before igniting the burner flame. These areas must be free from dust, spider webs, or other obstructions which might
restrict t he combustion system.
Refrigerator Removal and Replacement
To remove th e re fri gerat or, di sco nnec t bo th A C a nd D C p ower sour ces from the refr igera tor. Turn o ff th e pr opan e gas at
the main supply tank. Turn the refrigerator’s manual shut-off valve. Disconnect the gas supply piping at the manual shut-off
valve. Remove the mounting screws securing the refrigerator to the enclosure. Remove refrigerator from the enclosure.
Before reinstalling the refrigerator, inspect the areas be hi nd the mounting fla nges fo r d ama ged or mis sing seal strips.
These seal strips serve as a combustion seal which isolates the living space of the vehicle from refrigerator’s combustion system.

Maintenance
The efficiency of your refrigerator while operating in the

A visual check of the burner flame should be made
regularly. The flame should be sharp blue with a stable
burning appearance (Figure 11). If there is a constant
yellow component observed or if the flame appears erratic or unstable, switch the refrigerator to electr ic or turn the refrigerator
