Safety Awareness
Read this manual carefully and understand the contents before
you use 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 identifies 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.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do
not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling
system. The cooling system contains sodium chromate. The breathing of certain chromium compounds
can cause cancer. The cooling system contents can
cause severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and
burn with an intense flame. Do not bend, drop, weld,
move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- At regular intervals, make sure that the refrigerator flue
the burner, the vent areas, and the ventilation air
pathway between the vents are completely free from
any flammable material or blockage. After a period of
storage, it is especially important to check these areas
for any flammable material or blockage caused by
animals.
CAUTION: This signal word means a hazard, which if
ignored, can cause small personal injury or much
property damage.
Safety Instructions
WARNING:
- The storage of flammable materials behind or around
the refrigerator creates a fire hazard. Do not use the
area behind the refrigerator to store anything, especially flammable materials (gasoline, cleaning
supplies, etc.)
- Do not remove the round ground prong from the
refrigerator AC power cord. Do not use a two prong
adapter or extension cord on the AC power cord.
- A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the
wires and/or fuses are not the correct size. Either use
the wire and fuse sizes as writtten in the “Installation
Manual” or refer to your local codes or the applicable
RVIA Standards for the correct wire and fuse sizes.
- Incorrect installation, adjustment, change to, or
maintenance of this refrigerator can cause personal
injury, property damage, or both. Have service and
maintenance work done by your dealer or by an
Norcold authorized service center.
- Disconnect both the AC and DC power sources before
doing any maintenance work on the refrigerator. All
service work on this refrigerator must be done by a
qualified service technician.
- Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical
components or features.
- When you discard an appliance, remove all doors to
prevent accidental entrapment and suffocation.
- 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 fire.

looking at the front of the refrigerator). Operating it at
more than these limits can cause damage to the cooling
system and create a risk of personal injury or property
damage. Make sure the vehicle is level before you
operate the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is made to operate within 3°
Operation during travel:
While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is
stopped, performance during travel is not usually effected.

Owner’s Manual 4
For the best cooling performance:
T emperature control system:
- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.
- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling fins:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.
Flip-up shelf:
The flip-up shelf supplies a space to store tall bottles. To use
the flip-up shelf, lift the center of the shelf and fold it up against
the inside wall of the refrigerator.
Door Bins:
You may put the door bins [52] of the fresh food compartment in
a location that best meets your need (See Art01114). To remove
the bins, lift them over the locator and pull them forward. To
install the bins, push them onto the locator.
NOTE: Do not wash the door bins in a dishwasher. The door
bins are not dishwasher safe.
Freezer compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food
frozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in the
freezer compartment.
NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is
freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermostat is at the coldest temperature setting.
Door latch for travel and storage:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.
There are no chains, slides, or any devices that you must
engage.
During storage, the door latch prevents the door from completely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigerator is
shut down for a long period of time.
To use the door latch for storage (See Art00979):
- Open the door just so the door latch [161] is between the
ribs [166] of the latch plate [162].
Although the refrigerator is not frost -free, it is made to limit frost
on the cooling fins. At regular intervals, the temperature control
system automatically melts most of the frost from the cooling
fins. The water from the cooling fins drains into a collection cup
that is attached to the back of the refrigerator. The heat of the
cooling system evaporates the water from the collection cup.
Operating the Refrigerator Controls
Control panel:
The refrigerator control panel (see Art01562) is above the
refrigerator door. A 12 volt DC power supply is necessary for the
control functions of the refrigerator to operate. The refrigerator
receives DC power from the 12 volt system of the vehicle; either
an auxiliary battery, a converter, or the vehicle engine battery.
The ON / OFF button [30] starts and shuts down the refrigerator:
- To turn on the refrigerator, push and release the ON / OFF
button.
- To turn off the refrigerator, push the ON / OFF button for two
seconds and then release.
The TEMP SET button [32] controls the temperature adjustment
of the freezer and the fresh food compartment. The temperature
adjustment that you select does not change if the mode of
operation of the refrigerator changes.
- Push the TEMP SET button and the temperature setting “19” appears in the center display [33].
- Push and hold the TEMP SET button and the temperature
setting changes.
- When the desired temperature setting shows, release
the TEMP SET button.
