Owner’s Manual 9The ice maker is assembled to the refrigerators at the factory asoptional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factoryinstalled ice maker, one cannot be added to the refrigerator at alater time.The ice maker is fully automatic and will operate in ambienttemperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at tempera-tures between 0° F and 32° F., the ice maker has a heater onthe solenoid water valve and on the water line between thesolenoid valve and the ice maker. At temperatures below 0° F,store the ice maker as written in the “Ice Maker Storage” sectionof this manual.CAUTION: The water line heater does not protect thewater supply line from the vehicle shut off valve to thesolenoid valve on the back of the refrigerator.When the freezer temperature of the refrigerator is low enough,the ice maker opens the water solenoid valve and fills the mold.The ice maker ejects the frozen ice into a storage bin. As thestorage bin fills, the ice raises the shut-off arm until it turns offthe ice maker. As you use the ice and lower the ice level in thestorage bin, the shut-off arm also lowers. This turns the icemaker ON and begins the process of making ice.The ice maker operates on:- Cold potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.- 120 Volts AC (108 VAC min. - 132 VAC max.).Ice maker operation:1. Make sure the ice maker AC power cord (white) is pluggedinto a receptacle.2. Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.NOTE: Make sure that the ice maker arm can move freely anddoes not touch the frozen foods in the freezer.3. Push the ice maker arm down to the ON position [1] (SeeArt01015).CAUTION: If you operate the refrigerator withoutconnecting the water supply line and/or opening thewater shut off valve of the vehicle, make sure the icemaker arm is up in the OFF position.4. Allow the freezer to cool enough and ice production will beginto fill the storage bin [2].Ice Maker (Optional) NOTE: New plumbing connections and/or impurities in thewater supply line after winterizing can cause the firstice to be discolored or have an odd flavor.5. To stop the ice maker, push the ice maker arm up to the OFFposition [3].Refrigerator Care ChecklistYour refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if youdo these simple checks every three to six months:- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See“Cleaning”.- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.- Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because ofweather, loading, or gas control changes. If changes occur,contact your dealer or service center.- Make sure the gas supply is propane gas only and notbutane or a butane mixture.- When in propane gas operation, examine the appearanceof the flame. See “Gas Flame Appearance”.- Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent, through therefrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper exhaustvent is not blocked or decreased.- Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do notuse the area behind the refrigerator for storage of anything,especially combustible materials, especially gasoline andother flammable vapors and liquids.DefrostingThe cooling fins of the refrigerator operate at below freezingtemperature and will naturally form frost from humidity, which isalways present in the air. The humidity inside the refrigeratorincreases:- with higher outside temperature and humidity.- with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.- with the amount of time that the door(s) are open.- with any air leakage into the refrigerator.
