[. . . ] The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer. The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid ammonia downward by gravity through this section. If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a loss of cooling. 2.

The refrigerator is designed for the storage of fresh foods, milk, etc. Avoid using large dishes and do not stack food or food containers too closely as this interferes with the circulation of cold air within the cabinet. If possible, start the refrigerator on gas or AC the day before it is to be used, to allow time for the interior to be cooled. It is then preferable to load the refrigerator with food which has been precooled in your household refrigerator, or in the market.
