Safety Awareness
Read this manual carefully and understand the contents before you install the refrigera­tor.
Be aware of possible safety hazards when you see the safety alert symbol on the re­frigerator and in this manual. A signal word follows the safety alert symbol and identies the danger of the hazard. Carefully read the descriptions of these signal words to fully know their meanings. They are for your safety.
WARNING: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause
dangerous personal injury, death, or much property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause small
personal injury or much property damage.
Model No. and Serial No.
The model and serial number are on a label which is inside the refrigerator on the left side and on the cover of this manual.
Operation
This refrigerator is made for refrigerating purposes and operates on 120 volts AC and 12/24 volts DC power supplies when installed as written in this manual.
NOTE: The refrigerator operates automatically on AC or DC power. When both
power sources are supplied to the refrigerator, it defaults to AC. When the refrigerator is disconnected from the shoreline power (when AC power is no longer available), the refrigerator switches to DC operation.
CAUTION: Never store combustible materials near the refrigerator. Storing
combustible materials near the refrigerator creates a safety hazard and also decreases the ventilation of the cooling system which decreases the refrigerator
performance.
Do not touch the evaporator or other metal parts inside the refrigerator cabinet
with wet hands because they can freeze to the refrigerator.
Always disconnect all power sources from the refrigerator when doing routine maintenance. Have service work done only by a qualied service technician.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat, located on the panel above
the door. A green power light, located on the panel comes on when the refrigerator is “ON”. Number “1” is the warmest and number “5” is the coldest thermostat position.
For efcient operation, change the thermostat according to the types of food stored and
the ambient temperature.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, put the ther­mostat to the “OFF” position (full counterclockwise position).

Over Heating Shut-off Device Operation (DE0240T & DE0251T)
Operating the refrigerator in high ambient temperatures can over heat the cooling unit and cause premature failure of the compressor. (See the label inside the refrigerator.)
To protect the cooling unit from over heating, the refrigerator will automatically shut-off when the vehicle air temperature is higher than approximately 130° F. If shut off occurs,
an audible alarm tone (an intermittent beeping) operates from the refrigerator.
To stop the audible alarm tone and restart the refrigerator, turn the thermostat counterclock­wise to the “OFF” position and then clockwise to the desired thermostat position.
The refrigerator will not restart until the air temperature is lower than approximately 130° F.
Protection System
Your refrigerator has an over current protection system in the electronic circuit to pre­vent damage to the inverter which may occur due to a reverse polarity connection.
If the refrigerator does not operate and the green power light does not come on, check
the fuse, which is located on the side of the inverter case, and the polarity of the DC power supply. If the refrigerator still does not operate, another problem can exist in the inverter. Have an authorized Norcold Service Center check the refrigerator.
Cleaning and Defrosting
Defrosting
It is normal for frost to collect on the freezer plate inside the refrigerator. Excess frost
decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator as neces-
sary.
CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects, a hair dryer, a heat gun, etc. to defrost
the refrigerator. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.
- Turn the thermostat to “OFF”.
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
NOTE: Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to absorb the excess water.
- Put trays of hot water in the freezer until the frost is melted.
