1. Reconnect the 12 volt DC battery, deep cycle suggested,
and make sure it is fully charged.
2. Plug in 120 volt AC plug into receptacle.
3. Door seal should always be tight and not leak air. Place a
piece of paper (or a dollar bill) between the door gasket and
frame. Close the door and pull the paper out. You should
feel a slight drag between the gasket and cabinet. Do this
on all four sides, both top and bottom door.
•
If you do not feel a slight drag on the paper, the door
does not seal correctly.
•
Have your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Cen-
ter correct the seal of the door.
4. Perform a leak test on the propane system (see Chapter 3)
to be sure you have no leaks. Inspect the burner tube area
to be sure there are no obstructions in this area. Do pres-
sure and operating tests on the propane system.
5. Venting: Before startup, inspect the venting channels, back
side of refrigerator service vent, and be sure there are no
obstructions in the roof vent, such as a bird’s nest. If air
cannot move freely from lower service vent to the roof vent,
your refrigerator will not operate, and it has the potential of
damaging the cooling unit.
6. Burner: The burner assembly located under the boiler needs
to be inspected annually. After opening the burner box
door, examine the flame during operation. Flame should be
a darker blue inside and a lighter blue outside, and be in a
constant, steady shape. If the flame is yellow and/or erratic,
your dealer needs to be notified. The burner assembly
needs to be clean to operate correctly and efficiently, to al-
low proper cooling.
Additional maintenance instructions are found in the manual
supplied by Norcold, the manufacturer of your refrigerator.
Many of these inspections may be performed by the owner,
however most dealers will do “spring specials” for their custom-
ers. Contact your dealer for such services to prepare your
coach for spring and summer weather.
5. AIR CONDITIONER
Filters in the return air grill are installed to catch dirt, grease, lint,
etc. A clogged filter will prevent the correct and required airflow,
causing potential “icing up” of the cooling coil.
