Owner’s Manual 5Control panel:Thermostat ........................................................................... 1Selector switch ..................................................................... 2Piezo lighter ......................................................................... 3Gas safety valve ................................................................... 4Flame meter ........................................................................ 5The thermostat [1] (See Art01280) changes the amount ofpropane gas that goes to the burner. This acts as the tempera-ture control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest tem-perature setting.When the outside air temperature is below 50° F, the refrigera-tor may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder temperaturesettings. To reduce the tendency to freeze food:- Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.- Keep the refrigerator full.- Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.The selector switch [2] changes the energy source of therefrigerator between propane gas ( ), AC electric ( ), DCelectric ( ), and OFF ( ).The gas safety valve [3] is built into the control panel. As long asa flame is present, the valve is open and allows propane gas toflow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty propane gas tank,blow out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow ofpropane gas.The piezo igniter [4] makes a spark which ignites the flame inthe burner.The flame meter [5] shows if a flame is present in the burner.Operating the Refrigerator Controls(N400 models)For the best cooling performance:- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling fins:- Cover all liquids and moist foods.- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.Flip-up shelf:The flip-up shelf supplies a space to store tall bottles. To usethe flip-up shelf, lift the center of the shelf and fold it up againstthe inside wall of the refrigerator.Door Bins:You may put the door bins [1] of the fresh food compartment in alocation that best meets your need (See Art01114). To removethe bins, lift them over the locator and pull them forward. Toinstall the bins, push them onto the locator.NOTE: Do not wash the door bins in a dishwasher. The doorbins are not dishwasher safe.Freezer compartment:The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen foodfrozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in thefreezer compartment.NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water isfreezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermo-stat is at the coldest temperature setting.Door latch for travel and storage:During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.There are no chains, slides, or any devices that you mustengage.During storage, the door latch prevents the door from com-pletely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigerator isshut down for a long period of time.To use the door latch for storage (See Art00979):- Open the door just so the door latch [1] is between the ribs[2] of the latch plate [3].Temperature control system (N510 models):Although the refrigerator is not frost -free, it is made to limit froston the cooling fins. At regular intervals, the temperature controlsystem automatically melts most of the frost from the coolingfins. The water from the cooling fins drains into a collection cupthat is attached to the back of the refrigerator. The heat of thecooling system evaporates the water from the collection cup.
