Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, unauthorized or improper servicing and maintenance of this refrigerator can
cause severe personal injury, property damage, or both.
•
This refrigerator must be used in the manner for which it was designed. Refer to the "Operator’s Guide" and "Installation
Requirements" manuals for refrigerator’s intended use and installation.
•
Keep refrigerator and surrounding area clean. Never store combustible materials at rear of refrigerator. Storing combustible
materials at rear of refrigerator not only creates a safety hazard, but also inhibits air flow to the cooling system, reducing
cooling efficiency.
•
Keep liquids away from electrical connections. Many liquids are electrically conductive and can cause arcing or fires.
•
Propane gas can cause an explosion that may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Use extreme care when
working with or near a propane gas system. Do not smoke or create sparks. Do not use an open flame to check supply piping
and fittings for leaks.
•
To prevent gas leaks and damage to gas supply lines and fittings, use two wrenches when connecting or disconnecting gas
fittings.
•
The 120 volt AC circuit must be properly grounded. Never cut or remove round grounding prong from refrigerator’s AC
power cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter. Do not use an extension cord.
•
To prevent short circuits, connect positive DC supply lead to refrigerator before attaching ground lead.
•
Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of same ampere rating. A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if undersized
wires or improperly sized fuses are used. To prevent a possible electrical fire, follow Norcold’s wire and fuse size specifications
and any applicable state, local, or national codes.
•
Always disconnect both AC and DC power sources from refrigerator when performing routine maintenance.
•
Keep liquids away from electrical connections. Many liquids are electrically conductive and can cause serious arcing
damage and fires.
•
Cooling unit contents under pressure. Leaking cooling unit contents can cause severe burns to eyes and skin, and can ignite
and burn with an intense flame. The cooling unit contains sodium chromate. Inhalation of certain chromium compounds
can cause cancer. Do not attempt to repair or to recharge a defective cooling unit. Do not bend, drop, drill, weld, manipulate,
or hammer the cooling unit.
