2021 Wayfarer: Chapter 5

Appliances & Accessories LP GAS/12V/120 VAC Refrigerator

Your coach is equipped with a standard Propane/Gas/120V (LP) refrigerator (Figure 42.1). When the refrigerator is in the propane (LP) gas mode, make sure that the main propane (LP) gas valve is in the "ON" position before attempting to start the refrigerator.

Please note that the refrigerator is equipped with a semi automatic energy selector control system (AES), which can be set automatically to switch between a 120V AC system or propane (LP) gas operated system when available.

A 12V power supply (e.g., 12 VDC system of the motorhome, auxiliary battery, converter or motorhome engine battery) is required for proper operation of the electronic control panel (Figure 42.2).

For 120 VAC electrical operation of the refrigerator, either the 30AMP shore power line must be connected, the on board generator must be running or the refrigerator is connected to the inverter system to provide the necessary 120V AC power.

To operate the refrigerator in the propane (LP) gas mode, the main propane (LP) gas valve must be "OPEN". This mode of operation is only available on the 12V/propane (LP) optional refrigerator.

For specific instructions on your motorhomes refrigerator, please refer to the operating booklet found in the Owner's Information Package.

Convection Microwave Oven

Your Wayfarer motorhome contains a convection microwave oven (Figure 43.1 and 43.2). All microwave ovens operate on 120V AC electrical power supplied either by the 30AMP external hookup or by the on-board electrical generator in the motorhome.

Touch pad control is used for operating the convection microwave oven (i.e., cooking temperature, oven mode, power level and cooking time).

For basic operating instructions, care and maintenance of the convection microwave oven, please consult the specific manufacturers appliance manual in the Owner's Information Package.

When your motorhome is parked in close proximity to a fuel pump (i.e., during re-fueling operations) it is possible that the diesel fumes could enter this type of appliance and possibly be ignited by the burner flame thereby causing a fire or explosion.

Accordingly, please use extreme caution when re-fueling the motorhome.

LP Propane Cooktop

Your Wayfarer motorhome is equipped with a standard recessed two burner propane (LP) gas range (Figure 44.1).

Do not attempt to adjust the cook tops pilot light as it has been factory adjusted and factory set. To extinguish the cook top pilot light when use of the cook top is concluded, push inward on the cook top control knob and turn the knob clockwise to the "OFF" position (Figure 44.2).

To operate either of the two burner recessed cook top burners, light the burners by turning "ON" the gas control knob, wait a couple of seconds and the push the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) button until a flame appears ( Blue Arrow Figure 44.3).

If the burner does not start after a few attempts, discontinue the process and let the released gas dissipate and then try the process again. The burner knobs operate in a counter clockwise manner and must be gently pushed inwards as they are being turned. Never use the cook top when the motorhome is in motion.

It is wise to have a qualified service technician periodically check the entire propane (LP) gas distribution system in your Wayfarer motorhome. Scheduling such an inspection annually would be a recommended, preventive maintenance routine for every motorhome owner.

clipboard_e050f022ca2d817bcf8f51952be5edf96.pngDANGER: All propane (LP) gas operated appliances in the motorhome will consume oxygen. If the motorhome is totally closed during such operation, the oxygen level may be reduced and the associated carbon monoxide level may be increased.

The possibility exists that the increased enhanced carbon monoxide may thereby cause possible harm or death to the motorhome occupants through asphyxiation. Always use these appliances with proper ventilation.

clipboard_ed4b9f6f9c379b92a2c3fd9f7e6952451.pngWARNING: Portable fuel burning equipment including wood and charcoal grills/ stoves, should "NEVER" be used inside the motorhome.

The use of this equipment inside the motorhome can cause fire or asphyxiation which could result in serious injury or death.

clipboard_e4ed9e42896744079c8ee6722fdeb3750.pngWARNING: DO NOT USE cooking appliances as a heating source for the motorhome. Cooking appliances require fresh air for safe operation. Before using any cooking appliance, make sure that an overhead vent or window is open and/or turn "ON" an exhaust fan.

 

Water Heater

Before the water heater is to be used, fill the fresh water system and purge the water lines to and from the water heater by opening all of the hot water faucets in the motorhome. Do so until water steadily flows from each faucet with no "spurting" or "hissing" sounds are heard.

The water heater uses either propane (LP) gas or 110V AC electric to operate the heater. Proper and safe operation of the water heater requires that all safety information provided in the manufacturers owner's manual be read and understood before placing the water heater into service. Take the necessary time to become familiar with this manual which is provided in the Owner's Information Package.
