Tips for Refrigeration
●
Meat (all types): wrap in polyethylene (plastic) bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. To
avoid food poising or contamination store meats properly
wrapped for one or two days only.
●
Cooked foods, cold dishes; these should be covered and
may be placed on any shelf.
●
Fruit and vegetables: thoroughly cleaned and placed in
the special drawer provided.
●
Dairy: placed in aluminum foil or polyethylene (plastic)
bags while removing as much air as possible.
●
Milk bottles: capped and stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Traveling
Your refrigerator is designed to operate during normal
transportation of your coach. Please refer to the following
guidelines to assist during transportation.
●
Always travel with the doors closed and ensure will not
open during traveling.
●
Avoid traveling with food in the cavity. Wait until you have
arrived to your destination and remove any remaining
food before departing.
●
Turn refrigerator to “OFF” (LOW POWER MODE) if
climbing/crawling any off-road grades. Compressor oil
should resettle within 2 hours.
●
Ensure the refrigerator has reached a desired stable
temperature before departing for your trip. Avoid storing
temperature sensitive items in the refrigerator while
you are traveling unless a DC12V power source power
source is available. During towing, the refrigerator can
be operated as normal, as the tow vehicle should charge
the DC12V power source. See Off-grid Vacation Mode for
conserving power.
●
Once you arrive at your destination, use the refrigerator as
instructed in this manual.
STORAGE / WINTERIZATION
●
A DC12V power source maintainer should be used for long
storage, to keep a full charge.
●
If the appliance is in storage, and not intended to be in
operation, disconnect power, clean the inside thoroughly,
and leave the doors propped open to avoid abnormal
odors from developing.
●
To prevent quick discharging of the batteries, the
refrigerator can be turned off to enter LOW POWER
mode. Both the temperature displays will show “
--
”. Press
and hold the
FUNCTION
for 5 seconds to cycle between
ON/OFF.
●
In LOW POWER mode, the interior lights, compressor and
defroster are turned off.
At Power Failure
●
Generally, short-term power failure will not affect the
temperature of the refrigerator. However, if power
failure lasts for a long time, you shall reduce the opening
frequency of refrigerator, and shall not put fresh foods
into the refrigerator (prevent rise in the temperature of
refrigerator from speeding up).
●
If you know power failure is coming, you can turn on
the “Super Freezer” function in advance to keep the
temperature of refrigerator to the lowest value.
Shut Down
●
Generally, it is not suggested to stop refrigerator or turn
off the power switch; otherwise, the lifetime of refrigerator
may be affected.
Energy Saving Tips
●
Make sure to keep the refrigerator away from heat
sources and direct sunlight.
●
Before storing hot foods, cool them down to room
temperature and then put them into the refrigerator.
●
Close the door timely, reduce the opening frequency, and
shorten the opening time.
●
When unfreezing frozen foods, you can put them into the
refrigerator chamber, which will assist in refrigeration of
the refrigerator chamber.
●
Make sure that the temperature sensor is not covered or
blocked by foods, and keep proper distance with foods.
