Norcold DE / EV 0061, DE / EV 0041, DC 0061 Installation Manual
Installation Manual
For models DE / EV 0041 - 3.6 cubic foot, AC / DC electric refrigerators.
For models DE / EV 0061 - 7.0 cubic foot, AC / DC electric refrigerators.
For models DC 0061 - 7.0 cubic foot, DC electric refrigerators.
Special Requirements for Marine Installations:
These refrigerators are internally wired so that the AC and DC circuits are isolated from each other. If the positive
(+12/24 volts) input is grounded (by cuts in the wire insulation, incorrectly insulated components, etc.) a voltage
potential can be caused throughout the boat, which causes corrosion to form on any metal parts that are exposed
to water.
This condition can be avoided by wiring the boat so that the AC and DC grounds are common and so the wiring is
protected per NNMA CERTIFICATION HANDBOOK (1987). Inspect all wiring to make sure that the insulation is
not damaged and use plastic wire clamps.
One reference for more information on corrosion is:

Safety Instructions
!
- For installations which need an electric outlet that is energized by an external power source, the refrigerator must be
electrically grounded as written in local codes or the National Electrical code, NFPA 70.
- Incorrect installation, adjustment, alteration, or maintenance of this refrigerator can cause personal injury, property
damage, or both.
- Obey the instructions in the “Ventilation Requirements” section of this manual.
- Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical components or features.
- Protect all wiring from physical damage, vibration, and excessive heat.
- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are electrically
conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases re.
- This appliance is intended to be used in houshold and similar applications such as recreational vehicles, boats, and
semi trucks.
Installation Manual 2
CAUTION
- To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be xed in accordance with the instructions.
CAUTION
- A means for disconnection from the supply mains must be incorporated in the xed wiring in accordance with the
wiring rules.
- It is necessary to allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. This disconnection may be
acheived by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the xed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
!
- The front and rear of the refrigerator have sharp edges and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on the
refrigerator, use caution and wear cut resistant gloves.
Assemble the Enclosure
Make sure that the enclosure is the correct size:
- For DE / EV 0041 models - 30 7/8 inches high x 23 1/4 inches wide x 23 1/2 inches deep.
- For DC / DE / EV 0061 models - 52 7/8 inches high x 23 1/4 inches wide x 23 3/4 inches deep.
Make sure the oor is solid and level:
- The oor must be metal or a wood panel and extend the full width and depth of the enclosure.
- The oor must be able to support the weight of the refrigerator and its contents.
Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a furnace vent, etc.
Ventilation Requirements
This refrigerator is made for a built-in installation. Correct ventilation is necessary for the correct operation of the refrigerator and to
increase the life of the refrigerator cooling system.
Ventilation allows the natural air ow that is necessary for good refrigeration. Cooler air comes in through a lower intake vent, goes
around the refrigerator coils where it removes the excess heat from the refrigerator components, and goes out through an upper
exhaust vent. If this air ow is blocked or decreased, the refrigerator will not cool correctly. Do not install the vents into completely
enclosed areas such as closets or cabinets.
!
- shortened life of the refrigerator cooling unit.
- poor cooling performance of the refrigerator.
- continuous operation of the refrigerator.
- fast battery discharge.
- void of the refrigerator warranty.
The refrigerator has built in vents at the top and at the bottom. Make sure that the ow of air through these
vents is not blocked in any way. Blockage of air through these vents can cause:
