PHILCO-BENDIX DUOMATIC MOBILE HOME MODELS CE792TM, CE792YM, CE792PM, CE794M, CE792M

Philco, in the interest of home laundry advance design and more enjoyable living in mobile homes, has made available a Transit Safety lock kit. The purpose of this kit is to lock the suspended tub assembly in a secure position preventing damage to the Duomatic when the mobile home is in transit. When the mobile home has reached its destination, the Duomatic is ready for immediate use (after the safety lock assembly is disengaged).

It is Philco policy to keep PFSS membership abreast of the latest developments in the home laundry field. With this in mind, the following information should prove beneficial to you, our PFSS members.

Models produced for specific use in mobile homes will be listed as special models CE792TM, YM or PM. The first letter following the model number, stands for the color such as "T" (turquoise), "Y" (Yellow), or "P" (Pink). The second letter "M" indicates it is a model built specifically for mobile home use. Models CE794M

and CE792M indicate mobile home units painted white.

The service literature that covers these models is PR3233 service manual and the PR3232 Parts Catalog.

The parts in (figure "A") compose the kit necessary to secure the suspended assembly, during transit of the mobile home.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING AND USING THE TRANSIT SAFETY LOCK KIT 8040-509

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL RC-1489 SUPERMARKETER

In the past months inquiries have been received as to the feasibility of installing supermarketer type model refrigerators in wall openings.

The Model RC-1489 Citation Refrigerator Freezer Combination is especially designed for custom installation in a wall opening and should not be confused with other type supermarketer models which have the square cut design. Consequently, in this month's Appliance Supervisor we have issued the procedure for the installation of our Model RC-1489 Citation Supermarketer.

This model refrigerator is available with right or left-hand hinged doors. The door panels are reversible for changing the color of the Appliances in order to match a particular color scheme in the home. For instructions on reversing the door panels, refer to Changeable- Color Door Panels.

Wall Opening Swing Clearance Overall
Height-71" Doors-34" Height-72"
Width-32" Hinge to side wall-10" Width-33 Vi"
Depth-24" Depth-29%"

The necessary wall opening, clearance, and overall dimensions are as follows:

The installation kit provided with the refrigerator contains the necessary parts required to complete the installation. The kit (see of figure 2) consists of the following parts:

a) Top Trim (1)

b) Hingeside trim (1)

c) Lockside trim (1)

d) Grille trim (1)

e) Corner trim (2)

f) Trim-retainer bracket, 10" (4)

g) Trim-retainer bracket, 6" (2)

h) Trim-Mounting Angle (2)

i) Grille (1)

j) Flat-head sheet-metal screw, No. 8A x 3/s" (8) Installation

1. Construct a cabinet or an opening in the wall with inside dimensions as follows: 71" high x 32" wide x 24" deep. The minimum clearance required from the hinge-side of the cabinet to an adjacent wall is 10" and the

minimum swing clearance required for opening the doors is 34". See (5) of figure 2.

2. Place the refrigerator in front of the wall opening.

3. Make the electrical connections by connecting the electrical conduit cable to an electrical outlet box in the vicinity of the wall opening. DO NOT INSTALL THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BOX ALONG THE BACK OR SIDES OF THE WALL OPENING. The outlet box should be accessible without having to remove the refrigerator from the installed position. Refer to figure 1. If the point at which the conduit cable passes through the


REFRIGERATOR

WALL

Figure 1. Example of Various Locations for an Electrical Outlet Box

wall opening is below the elbow where the conduit cable leaves the cabinet, the hole for the cable must be to the left and below the elbow. THIS WILL KEEP THE CABLE FROM GETTING IN BACK OF THE CONDENSER AND CAUSING DAMAGE WHEN THE CABINET IS INSERTED IN THE WALL OPENING. The electrical outlet box must provide 543 watts (maximum) at 115 volts alternating current, 60 cycles. The wire size, power source fuse rating, and all connections should be installed in conformance with the local electrical code. Check the operation of the refrigerator by setting the OFF-AUTOMATIC switch to the AUTOMATIC

position; then set it in the OFF position until the installation is completed.

NOTE: There must be enough slack in the conduit cable to allow the refrigerator to be pulled from the wall opening for servicing.

4. Remove the screws at the sides and top of the cabinet. Save them for use in steps 5, 6 and 7.

NOTE: All the screws must be replaced in steps 5 and 6 for proper operation of the refrigerator.

5. Secure a 6" trim retainer bracket to each side of the cabinet at the bottom using the screws removed in step

4. See Šof figure 2.

6. Secure two 10" trim retainer brackets to each top and center side of the cabinet using the screws removed

in step 4. See Šof figure 2.

7. Center the grille trim on the top-front edge of the cabinet so that the long flat part of the trim is against the top surface of the cabinet; then place the grille on top of the grille trim with the trim retainer brackets up.

See (^^and of figure 2. Working through the

holes on the top of the grille, secure the grille and grille trim to the cabinet with the screws removed in step 4.

8. Adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the cabinet to compensate for an uneven floor. A good method of leveling is to adjust the legs until the refrigerator doors will remain in any position.

9. Slide the refrigerator into the wall opening until the trim retainer brackets are flush with the wall. Refer

to of figure 2.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the slack in the electrical conduit cable be taken up while inserting the cabinet into the wall opening to prevent damage. This can be done by either pulling the cable through the hole in the wall opening or by tying a piece of string to the middle of the cable and pulling the string through the grille so that the cable will lie along the side and top of the cabinet; then cut the string after the cabinet is in place.

10. Secure the trim-retainer brackets to the top and sides of the wall opening with screws (not provided in the kit). Refer to (g) of figure 2. The type of screw

used will depend upon the type of wall construction.

11. Measure the height from the top edge of the grille to the floor on the hinge side and lock side of the cabinet; then mark this length on the hinge side trim and the lock side trim measuring from the inside edge of each miter joint. Cut the excess length off of each trim piece

with a hacksaw. Refer to^E^of figure 2. DO NOT CUT

THE MITER JOINT ENDS OFF.

NOTE: Do not readjust the leveling legs as this will change the length of the trim pieces.

12. Lay the top trim on the floor and a side trim piece on each side so that the miter joints form a right angle at each corner. Connect the miter joints in each corner together with a trim mounting angle and four flat-head sheet metal screws provided in the kit. SeeQpof figure 2.

13. Place a corner trim on each mitered corner and clinch each side to the top and side trim ends. Refer to Šof figure 2.

14. Pick up and place the top of the trim frame assembly on the grille so that the top and side edges of the frame assembly engage the grooves of the trim brackets (see (g) and of figure 2); then apply a tapping pressure with the hands to fix it in place. Refer to of figure 2.

NOTE: The refrigerator shown has the hinges mounted on the right-hand side of the cabinet.

If the installation is for a left-hand hinged cabinet, the hingeside and lockside trims will be reversed.

Ventilation

Ventilation at the rear of the refrigerator is of utmost importance as the warm air from the motor-compressor must have a free path to the room area. Air circulation is provided at the rear of the refrigerator by a built-in fan which blows air over the motor compressor and through the condenser. The circulating air flows through the toe plate, over the water disposal pan and the motor-compressor, through the condenser, up the back, over the top, and out through the grille.

Electrical Data

Power source: 2-wire, single phase, 115 volts alternating current, 60 cycles.

Maximum connected load: 543 watts.

The refrigerator must be wired to an electrical outlet box in accordance with the local electrical code. Changeable-Color Door Panels

Each door of your Custom Refrigerator is provided with a reversible door panel-brushed metal on one side and copper color finish on the other side. This enables you to change the color of the refrigerator at any time. For further versatility, laminated plastic door panels are available from your laminated plastics dealer in order to match any color scheme in your home. The door panels are covered with a protective film which should be removed after the refrigerator is installed.

To remove a metal door panel, first cover the bottom door flanges with tape to keep the panel from scratching

the door metal; then remove the door handle (upper door only). (See instructions on envelope with Allen wrench.) Push the panel all the way up with the palms of your hands so as to expose the bottom edge of the panel. See figure 3. Grasp the exposed bottom edge of the panel at the center, and pull and bow the panel out just enough so that the bottom corners of the panel clear the side and bottom flanges of the door; then slide the panel down until the top edge clears the top-door flange. See figure 4. Remove the panel by flexing and snapping it out.

To replace a metal door panel (see figure 5), first make sure the bottom corner door flanges are covered with tape; then bow the panel just enough so that the side edges of the panel engage the side flanges of the door except for four or five inches at the bottom of the panel. THE TOP CORNER EDGES OF THE PANEL MUST BUTT AGAINST THE BOTTOM INSIDE EDGE OF THE TOP DOOR FLANGE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION. Slide the panel all the way up so that the top edge of the panel is covered by the top flange of the door. Flex and snap the panel in; then slide the panel down so that the bottom edge of the panel is covered by the bottom flange of the door and the holes in the door panel (upper door only) are aligned with the door handle mounting holes. Replace the door handle (upper door only).

To install a laminated plastic panel, first remove the door handle (upper door only). (See instructions on envelope with Allen wrench.) DO NOT REMOVE THE METAL PANEL AS THE LAMINATED PLASTIC PANEL WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE METAL PANEL. Place a sufficient amount of a laminated plastic type cement on the back of the laminated plastic panel to cover an area approximately 20 inches square. There should be enough cement on the back of the panel to permit sliding it in position on the metal panel after it is installed. Depress the foam insulation that is behind the metal panel to allow sufficient space for installing the laminated plastic panel. To depress the foam insulation, apply pressure around the edges of the panel with the hands (approximately 2 inches in from each edge); then follow the instructions described above for replacing a metal panel.

NOTE: If the metal panel is still covered with a protective film, remove the protective film before cementing the laminated plastic panel to the metal panel.

If it becomes necessary to remove the laminated plastic panel after it is installed, some means of heat, such as a heat lamp, must be applied to the cemented area of the laminated plastic panel in order to soften the cement to allow the laminated plastic panel to be separated from the metal panel. To remove the laminated plastic panel after the cement has softened, follow the instructions described above for removing a metal panel.

OPERATION OF THE AUTOMATIC SURFACE UNIT

Figure 1. Surface Cooking Unit Control Locations

During a call the serviceman is usually confronted with questions concerning the appliance being serviced. The customer may have lost her instruction booklet and need instructions on particular operating features of the appliance at this time. Supposing you were asked how that little gadget in the center of the automatic surface unit plays its part. Taking into consideration that the customer has little or no technical knowledge you would endeavor to give your answer in a layman's language rather than technical terms. Many servicemen fail to realize this truth that usually results in a puzzled customer; so let's be fair and avoid technical talk with your customers in explaining operating procedures of appliances.

The following article is based on the Instructions Manual for Custom Citation Surface Unit Model SU 2989. These instructions will be helpful when answering customer questions in a way understandable to the average customer.

Cook-by-Color

The three heating units at the rear of the surface unit are controlled by rows of thermo-color push buttons (5,

6, and 7). Each row has six push buttons, five for selecting the heat you desire and one for turning the surface unit off. Just push a button for the heat you desire. The heat you select will be labeled by name, and indicated by distinguishing color. Start cooking on RED (high heat), then later change to a lower heat. The cook-by-color range of heats are as follows:

RED - HIGH provides an intense heat to bring food

quickly to cooking temperature, to boil water, and to heat fat for frying. After the steaming or boiling point is reached, change the unit control to a lower heat. YELLOW - MED. gives medium heat for economical cooking. Also useful for frying meats and poultry, and to maintain the fat temperature when deep-fat frying. PURPLE - MED. gives medium heat for economical cooking. Also useful for frying meats and poultry, and to maintain the fat temperature when deep-fat frying. PURPLE-MED. LOW is useful for cooking icings and griddle cakes, and for maintaining boiling of large quantities of vegetables. Also useful for low-temperature frying.

Figure 2. Automatic Surface Unit

GREEN-LOW will maintain boiling of most foods after the steaming point has been reached on HIGH. Also useful for continued cooking of moderate quantities of food, after starting on HIGH.

BLUE-SIM. is used to cook foods requiring slow, below boiling temperatures, and for keeping foods and beverages at serving temperature. A true economy heat. Automatic Surface Unit

The left-front surface unit is automatic and provides you with complete temperature control-no watching, no burning. The button in the center of the unit thermostatically measures the heat at the bottom of the cooking pan, then automatically regulates the temperature to control the amount of heat going into the pan. The temperature increases or decreases, without your attention, according to the setting you have selected. The heat you select will be indicated in degrees ranging from 100° to 450°. The control switch (1) may be turned in either direction. Instructions for using the automatic timer to control the automatic surface unit are on page 11.

The "large-small" automatic surface unit switch (2) adjusts the size of the automatic heating unit for different size pans. Set the switch to "Small" for pans up to six inches in size, and to "Large" for pans larger than six inches.

The cooking chart on the remote control panel, with the approximate settings listed, is for your guidance in selecting a heat suitable for the food you wish to cook.

Fry Settings Boil Settings Warm Settings
270° - 420° 210° - 270° 150°- 210°

These settings are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum utensils. The temperature required to cook a given food and the setting may vary according to the type of utensil used, because some utensil materials conduct heat faster than others. If other than aluminum utensils are used, a lower temperature setting than the one recommended in the chart should be used. In general, cook just as you have in the past. The cooking time is the same.

The cooking efficiency of the automatic surface unit depends on the direct transfer of heat from the unit, through the bottom of the pan, directly into the food. For best results, follow the suggestions given below.

1. Use medium-weight aluminum pans.

2. Use pans with flat bottoms, free from warping and dents. The bottom of the pan must make solid contact with the temperature sensing button.

3. Center the pan on the unit to insure even heat distribution.

Surface Unit Cooking Suggestions

Vegetables should always be cooked with very little liquid and in pans fitted with a tight cover, in order to cook them more quickly and to conserve vitamins and minerals as well as flavors. Add only enough water to cover the bottom of the utensil being used-about 1/4 inch deep, or 1/4 to 1/2 cup water. Many times when butter is used, no water is necessary.

The cooking time given below is just a guide. Very young, tender vegetables may require less time, and older vegetables a longer time. It is not necessary to thaw frozen vegetables; for cooking packaged frozen vegetables, follow directions on package.

Cooking With Your Griddle

The temperature-controlled griddle is a detachable unit with a sealed heating element. The griddle temperature control (3) can be turned in either direction from OFF to the desired temperature. The griddle will take approximately 5 minutes to preheat. Excess grease drains off gradually into a grease recess provided at the right of the griddle, and can be removed with a spoon. For best results use the cooking chart on the remote control panel to guide you in selecting a heat suitable for the food you wish to cook.

Surface Unit Floodlight

There is a built-in fluorescent floodlight at the bottom of your remote control panel, which provides illumination

Figure 4. Automatic Timer Outlets

of the table-top surface unit. The floodlight is turned on automatically when any of the push-button surface unit controls are pushed on. The floodlight will stay lit as long as any of the three rear surface units are in operation. The fluorescent lamp button (4) will operate the floodlight when all the push-button controls are set to OFF.

To replace the fluorescent lamp, remove the glass window at the bottom of the remote control panel. To remove the window, place a pointed instrument in the notch at the right end of the window and slide the window to the left, allowing the right end to clear its support. Lower the glass window carefully to the counter top. The lamp sockets are spring-mounted, and pressing one or the other away from the lamp will loosen the prongs and allow the lamp to come straight down. Replace with a new lamp ot the same type by guiding the prongs at each socket and forcing the lamp straight up until it is secure. Replace the glass window carefully.

Appliance Outlets

Your remote control panel is equipped with two conveniently located 115-volt, a-c outlets (9). Use them as you would ordinary wall outlets to plug in your electric coffee-maker, mixer, toaster, radio, etc. The operation of these appliances may be timed as explained below under Using Your Automatic Timer.

These outlets are equipped with a circuit breaker, which prevents an appliance from overloading the outlets. When the circuit breaker operates it automatically shuts off the appliance; the circuit breaker push-to-reset button (10) will pop out slightly from its normal position. Simply press the button back to its normal position to apply power to the appliance. If the circuit breaker operates again, the appliance is defective.

Using Your Automatic Timer

A combination minute minder and automatic timer (8) is conveniently located on your remote control panel. The graduated time scale is marked in minutes in the 0 to 60 minute range, and then in hours from 1 to 4% hours. The automatic timer will operate both appliance outlets and the temperature-controlled left-front surface unit, shutting them off automatically at any selected time. A signal bell will chime when the automatic timer has shut off the outlets and surface unit.

When using the automatic surface unit for a timed period, set the surface unit control to the proper temperature, then turn the automatic timer knob to the right for the cooking time desired. When the bell chime signals that the automatic surface unit has stopped operating at the end of the time period, set the left front surface unit control to OFF, then turn the automatic timer knob to OFF.

11
Page 12:

Figure 5.

When using the appliance outlets for a timed period turn your appliance on and then set the timer for the time needed. Again when the bell chime sounds, current is stopped and your appliance ceases to operate. TURN YOUR APPLIANCE OFF BEFORE YOU TURN THE AUTOMATIC TIMER KNOB TO OFF. The appliance outlets are off while the bell chime sounds, and they come on again when the bell chime is stopped. Cleaning the Surface Unit

The heating elements of your surface unit are selfcleaning. Food spilled on the tube surfaces will burn itself off, or may be brushed off when the units have cooled. The aluminum drip pans below the heating units catch the spillage.

To clean the drip shield and unit support, make sure that all the control switches and push buttons are in the OFF position, and wait until the units have cooled. Then swing the unit up, lift out the support, and clean the drip shield as you would clean an aluminum pan. The supports are made of stainless steel, and may become stained

or darkened because of the intense heat of the high-speed surface units. If this is the case, the stains may be removed by using any one of the stainless steel pot cleaners sold in hardware and chain stores. DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL CLEANERS ON THE ALUMINUM DRIP PANS.

If an entire unit is removed from the opening for cleaning under the chrome rim of the unit, handle the unit wiring with care, and be sure to replace the unit in the same position from which it was removed. With the unit replaced in this manner, push down on the top of the unit to snap it into place.

Cleaning Your Griddle

To keep the polished cooking surface of your griddle glistening always clean it after each use. Make sure that the griddle control switch is in the OFF position and wait until the unit cools.

Remove the griddle by lifting the right end sufficiently to clear the counter top and sliding the entire griddle to the right until the prongs are disengaged from the socket. Clean your griddle with hot, soapy water, and wipe dry. Brown spots may be removed by using fine scouring powder or a fine scouring pad. Do not use strong washing powder or dishwasher detergents to clean your griddle; these alkalies will corrode the aluminum.

To replace the griddle, slide the left end into position until the griddle prongs hold securely, keeping the right end of the griddle as close to the counter top as possible, and lower the right end into place.

Cleaning the Control Panel

Clean the control panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use scouring powder or steel wool.
