Flying Cloud - Airstream

Appliances
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the refrigerator operating
the vehicle should be leveled to prevent this loss of cooling. The vehicle needs
to be leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable sloping of floor
or walls).
The fan does increase the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator; therefore
Airstream recommends leaving the switch on whenever the patio is not in use.
Please note that turning the fan off during hot, humid weather conditions may
substantially affect the cooling capacity of the refrigerator.
When the vehicle is moving the leveling is not critical, as the rolling and pitching
movement of the vehicle will pass to either side of level, keeping the liquid
ammonia from accumulating in the evaporator tubing.
OPERATION
The refrigerator requires 12-volt current to operate even if running on LP or
110 volt modes. The 12-volt is used to power the circuit board that directs
the refrigerator functions. When running in a mode such as LP, it means the
heat source, by far the largest power requirement; to evaporate the ammonia
is being provided by an LP Gas burner.

Flying Cloud 19, 20, & 23 ft. Models are equipped with a fan inside the exterior
refrigerator compartment. This fan pulls ambient temperature air across the
condensation coils on the backside of the refrigerator to aid in the cooling.
A “Fan Switch” is located inside the main door on the panel in front of the
refrigerator. You may desire to turn the fan off when using you patio due to its
noise. The fan is thermostatically controlled when the switch is on.
