The flame indicator light [217] illuminates when a flame is present
at the burner and indicates that the refrigerator is operating on
propane gas.
Ignition - propane gas operation:
NOTE: During warm and humid weather conditions, operate
the refrigerator in either AC mode or DC mode for a
minimum of five minutes before you try to start up the
refrigerator in propane gas mode.
1. Open the valve at the propane gas storage tank.
2. Turn the thermostat to the "START" position.
3. Push the propane gas mode button (
4. Push and hold in the gas safety valve.
- Hold in the gas safety valve until the flame meter illuminates.
- Continue to hold in the gas safety valve for about 15
seconds only.
- Do not hold in the gas safety valve for more than 30
seconds.
!
WARNING:
more than 30 seconds. If there is no flame in
this time, wait at least five minutes before you
try ignition again. If you continue to hold the gas
control in, gas will collect in the burner area. This

Start up - AC mode operation:
- Push the AC mode operation button.

- Allow the refrigerator to operate at this setting for 6- 8 hours
before changing to the desired temperature setting.
Start up - DC mode operation:
- Push the DC mode operation button.
The refrigerator receives its DC power from the 12 volt system
of the vehicle; either the vehicle engine battery or an auxiliary
(house) battery. The 12 volt system of the vehicle supplies
DC power not only to the refrigerator but also to any other
DC appliances of the vehicle. When operating on DC, the
refrigerator has a high current draw and can cause a rapid
battery discharge.
DC operation precautions:
This refrigerator is made to operate on DC power while your
vehicle is "in transit" and AC power or propane gas sources are
not available. Operate the refrigerator on DC power only when
the vehicle engine is running.
For the refrigerator to operate correctly on DC power, the battery
must be maintained in a fully charged condition.
