To see the LCD at full brightness, press the light button [184].
Automatic mode operation:
When the refrigerator is in the automatic mode, it automatically uses the most efcient energy source that is available for operation.
During operation, if a more efcient energy source becomes available, the refrigerator controls change from the current energy source
to the more efcient energy source as follows:
- The rst choice is AC operation if 120 volts AC is available to the refrigerator.
- The second choice is propane gas operation if 120 volts AC is not available to the refrigerator.
Removing air from the propane gas supply lines:
For safety reasons, the burner is made to ignite on propane gas within a specied amount of time. When starting the refrigerator for
the rst time, after storage, or after replacing propane gas tank, the propane gas supply lines can have air in them. Due to the air in the
gas supply lines, the burner may not ignite on propane gas within the specied amount of time.
To remove the air from the propane gas supply lines:
- Make sure that the valve of the propane gas tanks(s) is open.
- Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.
- Push and hold the MODE button until NO red triangle shows under the mode symbol and a red triangle shows under the gas ame
part of the mode indicator and then release.
- This means that the refrigerator is operating on propane gas.
- If the air in the propane gas supply lines prevents the burner from ignition on propane gas, the fault codes “no” and then “FL”
will appear in the center display and you will hear an alarm sound.
- Push and hold the ON / OFF button for one second and then release to silence the alarm.
- Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.
- The refrigerator will start a 30 second trial for ignition.
- During the 30 second trial for ignition, the refrigerator controls open the gas safety valve and the igniter makes sparks.
- When no fault code shows, this means that the refrigerator is operating on propane gas in the manual mode.
- At this time, all of the air is removed from the propane gas supply lines and you may select automatic mode of operation if you
wish.
- Depending on how much air may be in the propane gas supply lines, you may need to repeat the 30 second trial for ignition two or
three times.
- If the burner does not ignite on propane gas after two or three attempts, stop and consult your local dealer or an authorized
Norcold Service Center.

Owner’s Manual 11
Effects of Freezing Temperatures on Refrigerator Operation
A gas absorption refrigerator is not designed to operate in freezing temperatures. If the refrigerator is not equipped for low temperature
operation, and if the cooling system of the refrigerator is exposed to temperatures of 32° F. or lower for an extended period of time,
the refrigerator operation may be disrupted. The refrigerator operation will resume when the cooling system of the refrigerator warms
sufciently.
If the refrigerator is equipped for low temperature operation, the refrigerator will operate in temperatures down to 0° F.
Disrupted operation of the refrigerator, due to extended exposure to temperatures of 32° F. or lower, and any costs incurred to warm the
cooling system of the refrigerator are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty. Please contact your local RV dealer for information
about how to resume refrigerator operation or about how to equip your refrigerator for operation in freezing temperatures.
Do not change the installation or the venting of your refrigerator. Refrigerator failures, which are the result of changes to either the
refrigerator installation or to the venting, are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty.
Ice Maker
The ice maker is fully automatic and will operate in ambient temperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at temperatures between
0° F and 32° F., the ice maker has a heater on the solenoid water valve and on the water line between the solenoid valve and the ice
maker. At temperatures below 0° F, store the ice maker as written in the “Ice Maker Storage” section of this manual.
!
CAUTION
When the freezer temperature of the refrigerator is low enough, the ice maker opens the water solenoid valve and lls the mold. The
ice maker ejects the frozen ice into a storage bin. As the storage bin lls, the ice raises the shut-off arm until it turns off the ice maker.
As you use the ice and lower the ice level in the storage bin, the shut-off arm also lowers. This turns the ice maker ON and begins the
process of making ice.
The ice maker operates on:
- Cold potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.
- 120 Volts AC (108 VAC min. - 132 VAC max.).
The water line heater does not protect the water supply line from the vehicle shut off valve to the solenoid
valve on the back of the refrigerator.
Ice maker operation:
1. Make sure the ice maker AC power cord is plugged into a receptacle.
2. Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
62
NOTICE
3. Push the ice maker arm down to the ON position [60] (See Art01015).
!
CAUTION
Make sure that the ice maker arm can move freely and does not touch the frozen
foods in the freezer.
60
If you operate the refrigerator without connecting the water supply line and/
or opening the water shut off valve of the vehicle, make sure the ice maker
arm is up in the OFF position.
4. Allow the freezer to cool enough and ice production will begin to ll the storage bin [61].
NOTICE
5. To stop the ice maker, push the ice maker arm up to the OFF position [62].
Owner’s Manual 12
New plumbing connections and/or impurities in the water supply line after
winterizing can cause the rst ice to be discolored or have an odd avor.
