Travel latch:
NOTE: During daily use, turn the travel / storage latch so that is
parallel with the edge of the door (See Art01101).
Use the travel latch feature to lock the refrigerator door in the
closed position. When you engage the travel latch, the door
cannot accidentally open during travel.
To engage the travel latch:
1. Open the door [1] of the refrigerator (See Art01102).
2. Turn the travel / storage latch [2] so it is parallel with the edge
of the door.
3. Close the door of the refrigerator.
4. Push the door closed to compress the gasket and turn the
travel / storage latch into the slot of the metal refrigerator
frame [3].
5. Continue to turn the travel / storage latch until the ball
shaped stop [4] engages the ball shape [5] of the metal
refrigerator frame.
To disengage the travel latch:
1. Push the door closed to compress the gasket and turn the
travel / storage latch until the ball shaped stop disengages
the ball shape of the metal refrigerator frame.
2. Continue to turn the travel / storage latch so it comes out of
the slot in the metal frame and is parallel with the edge of the
door.
3. Open the door of the refrigerator.
Storage latch:
Use the storage latch feature to prevent the build up of odors
when the refrigerator is shut down for a long period of time.
When you engage the storage latch, the refrigerator door will not
be fully closed.
To engage the storage latch:
1. Open the door [1] of the refrigerator enough to break the seal
of the gasket (Art01103).
2. Turn the travel / storage latch [2] into the slot of the metal
refrigerator frame [3]:
- Make sure the groove [6] in the travel / storage latch en-
gages the edge [7] of the metal refrigerator frame.
To disengage the storage latch:

refrigerator frame:
2. Close the door of the refrigerator.
Ignition and Start Up
Controls:
Thermostat ........................................................................... 1
Selector switch ..................................................................... 2
Gas safety valve .................................................................. 3
Piezo lighter .......................................................................... 4
The thermostat [1] changes the amount of propane gas that
goes to the burner (See Art01029). 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
change the flame from high fire to low fire as do
some RV refrigerators. If the cooling load changes,
you must manually change the gas control to
maintain the same temperature inside the refrigera-
tor.
When the outside air temperature is less than 50° F, the
refrigerator may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder
temperature settings. 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 the
refrigerator between propane gas ( ), AC electric (
), and
DC electric ( ) (3-way models only) and shuts down the
refrigerator at the
OFF (
) position.
The gas safety valve [3] is built into the control panel. As long
as a flame is present, the valve is open and allows propane gas
to flow into the burner. Any loss of flame (empty gas tank, blow
out, etc.) closes and stops the flow of propane gas.
The igniter [4] makes a spark which ignites the flame in the
burner.
Ignition - propane gas operation:
1. Open the valve at the propane gas storage tank.
2. Turn the thermostat to the coldest temperature setting.
