Refrigerator
The Allegro Bus motor home will contain a refrigerator manufactured by Norcold, Incorporated. However,
certain floor plans may contain an
optional
residential refrigerator. The residential refrigerator is discussed
below.
Note:
If the 12V system is off the refrigerator will not work.
When the refrigerator is in the “LP gas” mode, make sure that the main LP gas valve is in the “on” position
before attempting to start the refrigerator. Please note that the refrigerator is equipped with a semi-automatic
energy selector (AES) control system which can set automatically to switch between a 120-volt AC system or a
LP-gas operation system.
Warning
The majority of LP gas appliances used in motor homes normally vent to the outside of
the motor home. When your motor home may be parked in close proximity to a fuel
pump (i.e., during re-fueling operations), it is possible that the fuel fumes could enter
this type of appliance and possibly be ignited by the burner flame thereby causing a fire
or explosion. Accordingly, please use extreme caution when re-fueling the motor
home.
A 12-volt power supply (e.g., 12 VDC system of the motor home, auxiliary battery, converter, or motor-
home engine battery) is required for proper operation of the electronic control panel. For electrical
operation of the refrigerator, either the external electrical power line must be connected to the motor
home or the on-board electrical generator must be running to provide the necessary 120-volt AC power.
To operate the refrigerator in the LP-gas mode, the main LP gas valve must be “open.”
Norcold Refrigerator
To start the Norcold refrigerator (Figure 4-1), on the control panel (Figure 4-2)
press the main power “on/off” button
[right-hand button] to the “on” position
which starts the refrigerator in the
“automatic” mode. When this is done, if
120-volt AC is available to the motor
home, the AC mode indicator light will
light and indicate that the AC power is
available to the motor home. However, if
the 120-volt AC is not available, then the
gas mode indicator light will be illuminated indicating that the refrigerator will be
operating on the LP gas supply. To turn the refrigerator “off,” push the “on/off”
button for two seconds to shut down the refrigerator.
