Operating the Refrigerator Controls
(N64X, N64XXX, N64XIM, N64XIMXX, N84X,
N84XXX, N84XIM, and N84XIMXX models)
Control panel:
The refrigerator control panel (See Art01018) is between the
freezer compartment and the fresh food compartment. A 12 volt
DC power supply is necessary for the control functions of the
refrigerator to operate. The refrigerator receives DC power from
the 12 volt system of the vehicle; either an auxiliary battery, a
converter, or the vehicle engine battery.
The ON / OFF button [30] starts and shuts down the refrigerator:
- To turn on the refrigerator, push and release the ON / OFF
button.
- To turn off the refrigerator, push the ON / OFF button for one
second and then release.
The TEMP SET button [32] controls the temperature adjustment
of the freezer and the fresh food compartment. The temperature
adjustment that you select does not change if the operation mode
of the refrigerator changes.
- Push the TEMP SET button and the temperature setting (the
numbers “1-9”) show in the center display [33].
- The number “9” is the coldest temperature setting.
- Push and hold the TEMP SET button and the temperature
setting changes.
- Release the TEMP SET button when the temperature setting
that you wish appears.
- After ten seconds, the temperature setting will go out and
only a green power ON light remains.
The MODE button [31] controls the operation mode of the
refrigerator:
- Push and hold the MODE button and each of the operating
modes of the refrigerator show one at a time in the center
display.
- There is one automatic mode of operation and two
manual modes of operation.
NOTE: On 3-way models, there are three manual
modes of operation.
- When the mode of operation that you wish shows in the
center display, release the MODE button.
NOTE: If you should forget in what mode your
refrigerator is operating, push and release the
MODE button to show the current mode of
operation in the center display for 10 seconds.
Automatic mode operation:
When the refrigerator is in AUTO mode, it automatically uses
the most efficient energy source that is available for operation.
During operation, if a more efficient energy source becomes
available, the refrigerator controls change from the current
energy source to the more efficient energy source as follows:
- The first choice is AC operation if 120 volts AC is available to
the refrigerator.
- The second choice is propane gas operation if 120 volts AC
is not available to the refrigerator.
- The third choice is DC operation (on 3-way models only)
if neither 120 volts AC nor propane gas is available to the
refrigerator.
Removing air from the propane gas supply lines:
For safety reasons, the burner is made to ignite on propane gas
within a specified amount of time. When starting the refrigerator
for the first time, after storage, or after replacing propane gas
tank, the propane gas supply lines can have air in them. Due
to the air in the gas supply lines, the burner may not ignite on
propane gas within the specified amount of time.
To remove the air from the propane gas supply lines:
- Make sure that valve of the propane gas tanks(s) is open.
