safety

shutoff

must

be

tested

after

the

refrigera-

tor

is

connected

to

LP

gas

supply.

To

test

the

gas

safety

shutoff,

proceed

as

follows:

A.

Start

the

refrigerator

must

be

replaced

by

a

qualified

serviceman.

F.

Rinse

the

ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

The

refrigerator

is

equipped

with

a

three-prong

(groun-

ded)

plug

for

protection

against

shock

hazards,

and

should

be

plugged

directly

into

a

properly

grounded

three-prong

receptacle.

DO

NOT

cut

or

remove

the

gro-

unding

prong

from

this

plug.

The

power

cord

should

be

routed

to

avoid

direct

contact

with

the

burner

VOLT

DC

CONNECTION

The

125

watt

heating

element

operates

the

cooling

unit

when

the

refrigerator

is

connected

to

the

battery

of

the

vehicle.

It

has

a

current

rating

of

about

10.5

amps;

there-

fore,

the

wiring

from

the

battery

to

the

refrigerator

must

be

of

heavy

enough

gauge

to

carry

this

load

satisfactori-

ly

without

undue

voltage

drop.

To

ensure

this,

the

mini-

mum

size

of

wire

to

be

used

is

14

A.W.G.

The

terminal

block

for

connecting

the

12V

supply

cable

to

the

battery

is

positioned

at

the

lower

lefthand

corner

of

the

rear

side

(G,

FIG.

8).

From

this

terminal,

the

connection

to

the

battery

should

be

made

using

ring-type

clamps

with

tightening

bolts

to

ensure

good

contact

with

the

battery

terminals.

Polarity

is

not

important,

therefore

it

does

not

matter

which

wire

leads

to

which

battery

terminal.

DO

NOT

connect

lights

or

any

other

electrical

com-

ponents

to

the

same

circuit

that

is

used

by

the

refri-

gerator.

the

battery

as

possible.

The

fuse

must

be

in

the

of

the

wiring

which

is

not

connected

to

the

chassis.

For

example,

if

the

vehicle

has

a

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANCE

OF

LEVELING

A

REFRIGERATOR

In

an

absorption

refrigerator

system,

ammonia

is

lique-

fied

in

the

finned

condenser

coil

at

the

top

of

the

refrige-

rator.

The

liquid

ammonia

then

flows

into

the

evaporator

(inside

the

freezer

section)

and

is

exposed

to

a

circula-

ting

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

slo-

ped

to

provide

a

continuous

movement

of

liquid

ammo-

nia

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

stow

the

cir-

culation

of

hydrogen

and

ammonia

gas,

or

in

severe

cases,

completely

block

it,

resulting

in

a

loss

of

cooling.

Remember

to

level

the

vehicle

when

stopping

for

more

than

an

hour,

otherwise

the

cooling

unit

could

be

perma-

nently

damaged

due

to

overheating

if

it

is

left

"ON".

When

the

vehicle

is

moving,

the

leveling

is

not

critical

as

the

rolling

and

pitching

motion

of

the

vehicle

will

pass

to

either

side

of

level,

keeping

the

liquid

ammonia

from

accumulating

in

the

evaporator

tubing.

CONTROLS

The

gas

and

electric

controls

are

located

at

the

4.HOW

TO

USE

THE

REFRIGERATOR

A.

FOOD

STORAGE

COMPARTMENT

The

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.

The

refrigerator

is

designed

for

the

storage

of

fresh

foods,

milk,

etc.

It

is

not

intended

for

the

storage

of

fro-

zen

food.

The

internal

volume

of

the

refrigerator

is

1.7

cubic

NEVER

PUT

HOT

FOOD

INTO

THE

REFRIGERATOR.

Avoid

using

large

dishes

and

do

not

stack

food

or

food

containers

within

the

cabinet.

If

possible,

start

the

refrigerator

on

gas

or

AC

the

day

before

it

is

which

has

been

precooled

in

your

household

refrigerator,

or

in

the

market.

Before

moving

the

vehicle,

make

sure

that

all

containers

are

tightly

covered

to

avoid

spills.

If

required,

crumpled

paper

may

be

packed

between

bottles

and

other

items

to

prevent

shifting

while

traveling.
