Leveling:
CAUTION:
The refrigerator is made to operate within 3°
off level side-to-side and 6° off level front-to-back (as
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.
Operation during travel:
While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is
stopped, performance during travel is not usually effected.
Food compartment:
Start up the refrigerator (see “Operating the Refrigerator
Controls”)and let it cool for eight hours before loading with food.
If the refrigerator does not start to cool down after about two
hours, contact your dealer or a Norcold authorized service
center.
For the best cooling performance:
- 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.
Freezer compartments:
The freezer compartments are made to keep pre-frozen food
frozen and not to quick freeze food.
NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is
freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermo-
stat is at the COLDEST position.
- A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the
wires and/or fuses are not the correct size. Use only
the wire and fuse sizes as writtten in the “Installation
Manual”.
- 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, connec-
tions, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,
electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do
not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling
system. The cooling system contains sodium chro-
mate. 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 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:
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and
corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working
on the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant
gloves.
