The bottom rack
holds 2-liter bottles; patented "fingers" hold bottles of any
size in place, yet allow easy removal. The base-mounted control
panel contains the gas/electric selector, temperature control, piezo
ignitor and flame safety valve. Just set the desired cooling
level; the combined electric and gas thermostat maintains it.

Americana
400 Series by SERVEL
(by Dometic)
Fully independent
refrigerator-freezers; available in LP gas or kerosene operation, these
high quality appliances require no electricity---ideal for use in remote
cabin or cottage, on the farm or ranch, or for emergency back-up
situations. The absorption-type cooling system is quiet and
dependable, with no compressor or other moving parts to wear out.
Choose bisque or white exterior finish with designer bevel edges.
The easy-to-clean all-white interior features adjustable, removable
shelves and door bins for stocking flexibility, plus two vegetable
crispers and a battery powered interior light.
The freezer compartment has a three-position adjustable shelf.
Both doors have easy-to-use handles. Covered exterior controls
include manual ignition, thermostat and fuel selector. All models
can be operated on AC electricity if desired, but are not energy
efficient operated in this fashion (using almost 4000 watt-hours per
day).

Note
on the kerosene units: these are much higher maintenance
(owing to the fact that kerosene is a less clean fuel). It
is highly suggested that you also order the "3 Year Spare
Parts Kits" for $149, which includes 12 wicks, wick raiser,
flame spreader, wick cleaner, and a spare glass chimney.
KEROSENE UNITS ONLY! The LP units require significantly
less maintenance.
|
The
kerosene refrigerators need their wicks and mantles to be
adjusted weekly, and need to be cleaned regularly because of the
soot build-up in the exhaust flue. |
With
all the same features and capacity as the gas model, the RK 400
uses a small wick-type kerosene burner as the heat source to
operate the absorption cooling system. Front openings
provide ventilation, view of the fuel level pin, and allow easy
adjustment of the kerosene wick and electric thermostat. |
| Capacity
of the Servel RGE 400: 8 cu. ft. total capacity (6 cu. ft.
'fridge, 2 cu. ft. freezer) |
If you have an older Servel or are having
problems with your unit...
you can call Dometic Warranty Information to get the
closest repair shop in the U.S. at this number:

and recall information is 800-216-5115. |
WHAT TRUCK FREIGHT ENTAILS: The best rate for
truck freight shipping is to have you pick it up at the local
freight terminal or commercial drop point. A residential
delivery is usually $40 to $45 more than a business delivery,
and, a lift gate (which drops the goods off at ground level), is
another $80 to $100 in additional fees. Inside delivery is
an additional cost on top of that.
Know someone with a truck? Can you have a dolly or hand cart on
hand? If you can mobilize a couple of strong bodies, you
might be able to save $80 to $120 or so!
Call for your freight on any of our truck
freight items. |
NOTE ABOUT RECEIVING TRUCK
FREIGHT ITEMS: Do not sign for anything
until you have inspected your unit. You have spent good money on
this, and it was shipped in good condition. If you don't
inspect it, and open the unit at home and find 'hidden damage',
there is no recourse for a truck freight claim. All claims for
damage MUST be made at the time of receipt of the unit!
Note any damage on the bill of lading before signing off--it's a
relatively easy process to get a new unit or replacement parts
if you do so. But not if you don't inspect it! Also,
don't refuse an obviously damaged unit. You will still be
charged for it, as we will also be by our suppliers.
Freight damage is very rare (FORTUNATELY!), but proper
documentation and reporting of any damage will expedite the
claims process. |
