This acts as the tempera-ture control of the refrigerator. Number 5 is the coldest tem-perature setting.NOTE: This is not an automatic gas control. It does not changethe flame from high fire to low fire as do some RVrefrigerators. If the cooling load changes, you mustmanually change the gas control to maintain the sametemperature inside the refrigerator.Operating the Refrigerator Controls(N400 models)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.Operation during travel:While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle isstopped, performance during travel is not usually effected.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].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 upper 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 longas a flame is present, the valve is open and allows propanegas to flow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty propanegas tank, blow out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops theflow of propane 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.Ignition - propane gas operation:1. Open the valve at the propane gas storage tank.2. Turn the thermostat [1] to the 5 position.3. Turn the selector switch [2] to the propane gas position ( ).4. Push and hold in the safety valve [4] and push in the igniter[3] several times in rapid succession, for about five seconds:WARNING: Do not hold in the safety valve for more than30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at leastfive minutes before you try ignition again. If you continueto hold in the safety valve, gas will collect in the burnerarea. This could cause a fire or explosion and result indangerous personal injury or death.- When a flame is present and the flame meter [5] moves intothe green area, release the safety valve.- If the flame meter does not move into the green area, dothis step again.5. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.Do a test of the gas safety valve:With an established flame in GAS mode:1. Close the manual gas shutoff valve [2] of the refrigerator(See Art00975].
