Safety Precautions

Read this manual and become thoroughly acquainted with it before installing or starting the refrigerator. The following safety precautions and recommendations contained herein are for your protection.
Improper installation, adjustment, or operation can cause injury or property damage.
The safety symbols used in this manual contain Safety Alert information. Understand their meanings and be safety conscious.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
General
Keep the unit and surrounding area clean. Never use the area behind refrigerator for
storage; in particular, storing flammable materials (oily rags, paper, aerosol cans, and chemicals.). Stored materials not only present a safety hazard but could block the ventilation to the system.
Provide appropriate fire extinguishers installed in convenient locations. Consult your
local fire department for the correct type to use. Do not use foam on electrical fires. Use extinguisher rated by NFPA.
Make sure all fasteners, supports, seals, electrical covers ar e secure.
LP Gas System
A SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RE­SULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
A SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, SULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
A SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RE­SULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY.
COULD RE-
LP gas is highly flammable. Gas connections must be leak tight. Do not smoke,
create sparks or use an open flame when checking gas connections. Do not ignore the "rotten egg" smell of gas fumes.
Protect all gas lines from physical damage, vibration, or excessive heat.
Insure that the supply gas pressure is within the tolerance specified on the front
cover of this manual. The gas controls are designed for safety. Never tamper with the adjustment or function of the controls other than as directed by the Lighting and Shutdown Instructions. All repairs must be done by a qualified service person.
Exhaust Gases
Proper ventilation to remove exhaust gases is extremely important. These gases,
generated in the GAS mode at the rear of the refrigerator, replace the oxygen in the air and in extreme cases can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This manual contains installation instructions to safely remove the exhaust gases and seal the zone from the living area. The installation instructions are certified by Ameri­can Gas Association and Canadian Gas Association and must be followed.
Check the burner for proper flame characteristics at the initial start-up and at least
once every year. The information for this check is located in this manual and must be performed by a qualified service person.

Safety Precautions -
Electrical Circuits - AC and DC
The 120 volt AC circuit must be properly grounded. Never cut or remove the round
grounding prong from the re friger ator’s AC co rd. Do not us e a two- prong adapter . Do not use an extension cord to connect to the approved AC receptacle.
Protect all wiring from physical damage, vibration, or excessive heat.
Always disconnect both AC and DC sources of power when working on either circuit
(only a qualified service person). Insure all terminating connections are clean and tight to prevent arcing or over-
heating. Never allow Leak Detecting fluids or any other liquids to spill on electrical connec-
tions. Many liquids are electrically conductive and could cause serious arcing dam­age and, in some case, fires.
Refrigerant System
Never physically bend, drop, drill, weld, or hammer the refrigerant system. Doing so
could cause the system to rupture and release dangerous chemicals which can cause severe burns to the eyes or skin. If ignited, these chemicals will burn with intense flame. A leaking system can release certain chromium components which, if inhaled, can cause cancer.
Never apply direct heat in excess of 240° F to the refrigerant system. Because the
refrigerant is hermetically sealed under pressure, a temperature sensitive safety de­vice opens to protect the system from erupting under excessive pressure. However, the expelled refrigerant could ignite and burn if an ignition source were near.
Never attempt to repair or recharge the refrigerant system. If defective, it must be
replaced.
continued
Child Entrapment
Never install door locks or other restraints which could entrap small children within
the refrigerator. The Travel Latch system must not be modified.
Handling the Refrigerator
Never lift the refrigerator without assistance. Protect yourself from body strain.
Avoid hot surfaces at the rear of the refrigerator when operating. The absorption
type refrigerator produces several hot areas at the rear of the unit. This is true whether in GAS or ELECTRIC mode.
Take care to avoid brushing against the irregular shapes and sheet metal parts at the
rear of the refrigerator. Cuts or abrasions could result.

WARNING: Carbon Monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Inadequate ven­tilation or partial blockage of the refrigera­tor’s flue can result in increased carbon monoxide emissions when operating in the gas mode. To prevent the emission of lev­els of carbon monoxide, installation must assure complete isolation of the living space of the R.V. from the refrigerator’s combustion system. Follow Norcold’s Ven­tilation and Installation recommendations explicity.

120 Volt AC Connection
WARNING: The refrigerators are designed to operate on a 120 volt, 60 Hertz grounded AC circuit. The refrigerator’s AC power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug which must mate with a three-prong grounded receptacle to protect against possible electrical shock hazards. Operating the refrigerator without proper ground can cause property damage, se­vere personal injury, or death. It is the in­staller’s responsibility and obligation to provide a properly grounded electrical cir­cuit to the refrigerator accordance with lo­cal codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Do not cut or remove the round grounding prong from the refrigera­tor’s AC power cord. Do not use a two prong adapter or an extension cord.

Operating Control Function
A 12 volt DC supply is required to maintain the re­frigerator’s operating control functions. The refrigera­tor receives its DC power from the vehicle’s 12 volt system; either an auxiliary battery, a converter or the engine battery. The 12 volt DC system not only sup­plies power to the refrigerator, but to other DC com­ponents in the vehicle.
Mode Display Area
The display area provides a continuous indication of the refrigerator’s operating mode. A description of each indication is as follows :
AC: Indicates 12 volt DC and 120 volt AC is
available to the refrigerator. Als o indicated the refrigerator is operating on AC electric.
LP: Indicates 12 volt DC is available to refrig-
erator and the gas burner is operating nor­mally.
X: When a red "X" appears with "LP", this In-
dicates the gas burner is off and the oper­ating controls are "locked" out. "Lock" out (red "X") is a design safety feature which
prevents the escape of unburned gas from the burner if the flame is extinguished. The controls must be reset to continue opera­tion in the gas mode. See "Operating In­structions" on page 13 and 14. DC: (3-WAY Models Only) Indicates 12 volt DC is available to the refrigerator and the refrigerator is operating in the DC elec­tric mode.
Auto Mode
Note: On 3-Way models, the DC ON/DC OFF
switch
must
be set to DC OFF.
When the "AUTO" mode is selected, the operating control automatically selects the energy source using the following scheme:
When 10 volts AC is avai lable to the refrigerator,
"AC" will be visible in the Display Area, indicating the refrigerator is operating on AC electric.
If 120 volt AC is not available the refrigerator will
switch to the gas operation and "LP" will be vis­ible in the Display Area.
When neither 120 volts AC nor LP gas are avail-
able, the user can select DC electric (3-Way models only). The DC ON/DC OFF switch must be set to DC ON. DC wi ll appear in the Display Area, indicating DC electric operation. Selecting the DC electric mode overrides
all
operating modes. If a fault occurs during the DC operation the controls
will not
automatically switch to an alternate power source. DC electric operation is not as efficient as AC electric or LP gas opera­tion and should therefore be used only to main­tain temperatures when the other modes are un­available (for example; while in transit - 4 to 6 hours).
During operation in the "AUTO" mode, when a higher priority energy source becomes available, the operating controls will cease usi ng the current energy source and will switch to the higher priority energy source. For example, if AC electric becomes avail­able while the refrigerator is operating in the "LP" gas mode the refrigerator will switch to "AC" electric op­eration.
GAS Mode
Selecting GAS allows the refrigerator to operate on gas only. If DC power or the LP gas supply is lost, the operating controls will not automatically switch modes. Operation will lock out (red X) and requires to be manually reset (turning AUTO-GAS switch to the center position then back ON).
16
Page 17
Thermostat
The thermostat controls bo th the gas and electric operation thereby eliminating the necessity of re­setting each time a different energy source is em­ployed. After the initial start-up, the thermostat should be moved from "COLDEST" to the desired temperature setting, usually about mid setting.
Normal Operation-Off-High Humidity Switch on Models 682, 683, 662, 663, 6182, 6183, 6162, 6163 Only
Figure 21
The models identified above are equipped with a heater that prevents moisture from forming on the center divider located between the freezer and the fresh food compartment. The heater is activated by turning the "Normal Operation-Off-High Humidity" switch (Figure 21) to the "High Humidity" position. The switch should be left in the "Normal Operation" unless moisture is observed on the center divider. pressing this switch to "HIGH HUMIDITY" will keep the surface between the door openings dry during high humidity conditions. The switch should be left in the "NORMAL OPERATION" positi on unless conden­sation is observed in this area.
When your RV is being stored for the winter, the "Normal Operation-Off-High Humidity" switch should be placed in the "Off" position. This position shuts off all DC power at the refrigerator’s operating controls allowing the refrigerator doors to be left open for air­ing without chance of battery drain during storage. (See "Information Regarding Battery Drain".)
Interior Light - Model 682, 683, 662, and 663 Only
The models identified above are equipped with an interior light. The light is located inside of the fresh food compartment on left side. The light will turn on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed. Power to light is activated when the "Normal Operation-Off-High Humidity" switch is set to either "Normal Operation" or "High Humidity" positions.
To replace the light bulb, disconnect the 12 volt DC from the refrigerator’s power supply located at the rear of the refrigerator (see Figure 9 on page 8).
Remove the plastic light cover by sliding it towards the rear of the fresh food compartment. Remove the
bulb from the its bracket.
Caution: Do not replace with a bulb of higher wattage. Higher wattage bulbs can damage the interior surface of the fresh food compartment.
Replace the bulb with a N0. 168 whic h can be pur­chased from most retail automotive outlet centers. The bulb can also be ordered from any Norcold serv­ice center. Norcold’s part number is 617609. Rein­stall the light cover. Reconnect the 12 volt DC.
Interior Light - Models 6182, 6183, 6162, and 6163
The models identified above are an interior light. The refrigerators identified above are equipped with a plug-in receptacle located inside the fresh food compartment on the left wall. A light kit can be purchased as optional equipment for these models from your dealer or a Norcold service center (see service center listings provided with the refrig­erator). The Light Kit’s part number is 61763237 (see insert provided with the refrigerator).

Information Regarding Battery Drain
A 12 volt DC source is required to maintain the refrigerator’s operating control functions in all modes.
For the gas operation, the DC power source sup­plies voltage for the electronic ignition. The current draw is less than 500 milliamps. For models those models equipped with the moisture reduction heater and the heater is energized, this adds 240 milliamps for a total current draw of 740 milliamps (.74 amps). This indicates that the drain on the battery is very low and has little effect on "battery run down" unless these switches are on for long periods of time without recharging the battery.
During AC electric operation 12 volt DC is required to operate the interior light (for those models equipped), moisture reduction heater (those models equipped), mode display area, and the electronic thermostat.
For the DC electric operation, the DC power source supplies voltage for the cartridge heating element. For models 653 and 6053 the DC electric operation draws approximately 9 amps at 12 volt DC. For mod­els 683, 663, 6183, and 6163, the DC electric opera­tion draws approximately 14 amps at 12 volt DC. If the battery charging means is lost during DC opera­tion switch the refrigerator to Gas or AC electric (if connected).
The DC voltage should be checked while operating in the DC mode. The voltage at the refrigerator should never drop below 11.5 vol ts.
17
Page 18
During periods when the refrigerator is not used (seasonal storage, etc.) the"Normal Operation-Off­High Humidity switch should be switched to "OFF".. This disables the 12 volt DC to the "Operating Con­trol Panel" and the "Normal Operation-Off-High Hu­midity" switch.
Operation in Transit
While the refrigerator should be level when the ve­hicle is stopped, performance during transit is not normally affected.

Leveling
Comfortable vehicle leveling is well within the re­frigerator’s operating requirements of 3 degrees off level side-to-side and 6 degrees off level front-to­back (looking at the front of the refrigerator). Con­tinued operation outside of these limits can result in irreparable damage to the cooling system.
Freezer Compartment
This compartment is not designed for the quick freezing of food but designed to retain food in a fro­zen state. Foods purchased for storage in the freezer compartment should be frozen when purchased to reduce the load on the refrigerator system.
IMPORTANT
Water will freeze more rapidly if the thermostat is at it’s coldest setting.
For the double door models, the freezer shelf can be adjusted or removed to meet your s torage needs.
: Ice trays must be placed on the
bottom freezer surface when making ice.
Fresh Food Compartment
The fresh food compartment stores and cools food.
For best cooling performance, air must be free to circulate within the fresh food compartment.
cover the shelves with paper, plastic, etc.
Do not
To reduce frost formation on the cooling fins, cover liquids and moist foods, do not place hot foods in the compartment, and do not leave the door open longer than needed.
Allow the refrigerator to cool for 8 hours before loading foods. Loading a warm refrigerator with warm food increases the cool down period.
Defrosting and Cleaning the Refrigerator Interior
Your refrigerator is not frost free and will require pe­riodic defrosting. To defrost, turn the refrigerator off. Empty the freezer and the fresh food compartments. Placing a pan of hot water in the freezer will reduce the defrosting time. Leave the drip tray under the cooling fins. After frost has melted, empty the drip tray and clean the refrigerator.
Add a small quantity of mild dish detergent to luke­warm water and wash the interior of the refriger ator.
Do not use abrasive cleansers; they can damage the interior surfaces of the refrigerator
both compartments in a solution of baking soda and water (one table spoon of baking soda to one quart of water) will freshen the interiors and neutralize odors. Wipe the refrigerator interior dry with a soft cloth to remove excess moisture and to prevent water spots. Clean the door gaskets in the same manner as the refrigerator interior. This will help to prolong the life of the gaskets.
. Rinsing
Door Latch
The refrigerator’s built-in door latch prevents the door from flying open during transit. There are no chains or slides to remember to actuate when the vehicle starts moving. Always close the door to the­closed latched (audible clicks) position to prevent cooling loss and heavy fr ost.
Important Notice:
Read and understand this notice before remov­ing this refrigerator, re-installing this refrigerator, or performing any maintenance on this refrigera­tor. Norcold will not accept responsibility for im­proper installation, adjustment, alteration, serv­ice, or maintenance performed by anyone other than a qualified dealer or a Norcold service cen­ter. Costs or related consequential problems re­sulting from improper installation, adjustments, alteration, service, or maintenance are the refrig­erator owner’s responsibility.

Refrigerator Maintenance

1. Leak test gas supply pi ping and fittings at least once a year. This procedure should only be performed by your dealer or a Norcold service center. These facilities are familiar with gas re­frigerators and propane gas systems.
2. Check the main line gas pressure periodically and adjust if necessary. The correct input gas pressure is 11 inches water column. It is rec­ommended that your dealer or a Norcold serv­ice center perform this task.
3. Clean the refrigerator’s burner and burner ori­fice. This procedure is required once a year minimum and should only be performed by your dealer or a Norcold service center. These facilities are familiar with gas refrigerators and propane gas systems.
4. Insure that the LP gas supply is Propane, not another fuel such as Butane or Butane mix­tures.
5. Periodically inspect the burner flame appear­ance during gas operation. See "Burner Flame Inspection on page .
6. Inspect the electrode assembly to insure it is secure to the burner bracket.
7. Inspect the flue of the refrigerator’s cooling sys­tem. This area must be free of foreign materi­als. Foreign materials observed in the flue indi­cate the burner requires cleaning.
8. Insure the area directly behind the refrigerator is not being used for storage. Keep the refrig­erator area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapor and liquids.
9. Periodically inspect the ventilation system.The air passage from the bottom intake vent to the refrigerator coils and from the refrigerator coils through the upper exhaust vent must be unob­structed.
10. Inspect combustion seals (visual check without removing the refrigerator). Combustion seals are attached to the back surfaces of the r efrig­erator’s mounting flanges to assure a complete seal.
11. Periodically inspect door seals. See "Checking Door Seals" below.
Checking Door Seals
To insure cooling efficiency and to prevent frost for-
mation, the door gasket must seal compl etely.
To check for proper door seal, lay a strip of paper between the gasket and the refrigerator. Close the door and withdraw the paper. A frictional drag should be noticed. Repeat all around the door. If the paper does not have a noticeable drag, the gasket is not
sealing. Contact your dealer or a Norcold service center for corrective procedures.
Refrigerator Storage
When the refrigerator will not be in use for an ex­tended (seasonal) period of time, it is recommended that all power to the refrigerator be disconnected. Un­plug the refrigerator’s AC power cord from the wall receptacle and disconnect the 12 volt DC from the refrigerator’s terminal block located at the rear of the refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator interior and leave the door(s) open to keep the interior odor free. After the extended shut-down period, the burner, burner orifice, and flue must be inspected before igniting the burner flame. These areas must be free from dust, spider webs, or other obstructions which might re­strict the combustion system.
Figure 22
Burner Flame Inspection
The efficiency of your refrigerator while operating in the gas mode is independent upon the correct burner flame. The burner flame provides energy to the re­frigerator’s cooling system.
The burner flame efficiency is a function of correct input gas supply pressure, air input, and burner and burner orifice cleanliness.
A visual check of the burner flame should be made regularly. The flame should be sharp blue with a sta­ble burning appearance (Figure 22). If there is a con­stant yellow component observed or if the flame ap­pears erratic or unstable, switch the refrigerator to electric or turn the refrigerator "OFF" and contact your dealer or a Norcold service center.
Refrigerator Removal a nd Replacement
1.
1. Turn off the gas at the main supply tank(s).
2. Turn the refrigerator off.
3. Turn the refrigerators manual shut-off to off.
19
Page 20
4. Disconnect the refrigerator’s AC power cord from the wall receptacle.
5. Disconnect the 12 volt DC supply from the re­frigerator’s terminal block.
6. Disconnect the LP gas supply line from the refrigerator.
7. Remove the mounting screws securing the re­frigerator or to the enclosure.
8. Remove refrigerator form the enclosure.
To Reinstall the Refrigerator:
1. Before reinstalling the refrigerator, inspect the areas behind the mounting flanges for dam­aged or missing seal strips (combustion s eals). These seal strips serve as a combustion seal which isolates the living space of the vehicle form the refrigerator’s combustion system.
2. Reinstall the refrigerator by reversing the above procedures.
3. After reinstalling the refrigerator, check the gas fitting connections for leaks.
leaks with an open flame. Use an approved leak detection solution.
Do not check for
Failure of Refrigeration
Failure of refrigeration does not necessarily indicate that the cooling system is defective. Other factors governing its operation must be checked.
If the refrigerator is operating on gas and a loss of cooling is noticed, switch the refriger ator to AC elec­tric operation. (See "Operating Instructions on page
13). If the refrigerator has been operating on elec tric, switch to gas operation.
After the refrigerator has been switched from one power source to the other, allow several hours to as­sure the refrigerator is cycling properly. This will de­termine if a component failure in the electric or gas controls is causing the cooling fault. If no cooling is evident after eight hours (overnight), you must con­tact your dealer or a Nocold service center to deter­mine the cause of failure.
Note: Do not attempt to operate the refrigerator on DC when analyzing the cooling unit perform­ance. The DC electric mode of operation is de­signed for short periods of operation only and will not power the cooling unit to its full capabili­ties.

ance under the terms of this Limited Warranty. The refrigerator must be brought to any of the Norcold Service Centers and the original consumer-purchaser must present evidence (1) to identify the original consumer-purchaser: and (2) that the item claimed to be defective i s still within the warranty coverage. If the original consumer-purchaser is unabl e to accomplish this task, written notice should be immediately directed to Norcold and advice will be promptly given concerning the manner in which warranty service may be obtained.

(1) Defec ts which arise by r eason of transit damage, mis use, neglect or acci dent. (2) Manufacturing defects found at the time of purchase, or parts replaced under warranty, and associ-
ated labor, which are not communicated to the Company within 30 days.
(3) Labor performed without need for parts replacements which is not communicated to the Company
within 30 days. (4) Defec ts in glassware, el ectric light bulbs, or replacement of fuses. (5) Defec ts arising from improper i nstallation or adjustment of the Equipment. (6) The need for normal maintenance of this refrigerator according to the guidelines specified in the

in the course of repairs or replacements to the Equipment.
D. Employees and agents of the Company, and its authorized service representatives, hav e no authority to
vary the terms of the Limited Warranty, whi ch applies only to Equipment purchased and installed i n the United States of America and the Dominion of Canada. The Company reserves the right to make any improvements or changes in parts or models without notice to any or iginal consumer-purchaser.
E. The Company shall not be liable or in any way respons ible for any loss or damage to person or property,
or lost profits or other similar loss or damage that may result or be claimed to have resulted from a defect in any parts of the Equipment covered by this Limited Warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of any incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. (2) SOME S TATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS.
