NOTE: Allow 24 hours for your refrigerator to
cool completely before storing food.
Ice Maker
•
To turn ON the ice maker, lower the wire
shutoff arm.
•
To turn OFF the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (arm up) position until it
“clicks”.
NOTE: Your ice maker is equipped with an
automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice
cubes will fill the storage tray raising the
shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)
position. Do not force the wire shutoff
arm up or down.
Replacing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the upper right-
hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.
Your refrigerator is equipped with water filter
indicator lights, which remind you when it is time
to order and replace the water filter. When the
Order light comes on, it is almost time to change
the filter. When the Replace light comes on, a
new water filter should be installed.
It is recommended to replace the water filter at
least every 6 months, or earlier if the flow of
water to your ice maker noticeably decreases.
See the manufacturer’s user guide included in
your InfoCase for water filter ordering
information.
NOTE: Air trapped in the water system may
cause the filter to eject. Always dispense
water for at least 2 minutes before
removing the filter.
Removing/Replacing the Water Filter
•
Turn water filter counter-clockwise to
remove.
•
Remove sealing label from replacement filter
and insert the filter end into the filter head.
•
Turn the filter clockwise until it stops.
•
Snap the filter cover closed.
NOTE: Flush four gallons of water through
water filter before use.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s user guide provided in
your InfoCase for further key features as well as
operating, safety, maintenance, and
troubleshooting information.
REFRIGERATOR
(Norcold
®
)
The refrigerator in your coach can operate
from either of two energy sources available to the
motorhome:
•
120-Volt AC Electric
•
Propane Gas
To be able to use both types of energy, the
refrigerator does not have a compressor like
household refrigerators. Instead, it uses an
ammonia-water solution for cooling. Basically,
ammonia vapor is distilled from the solution by
heat produced from either propane gas flame or
electrical heat element. The ammonia vapor is
then carried to the finned condenser where it
liquefies. The liquid then flows to an evaporator
where it creates cooling by evaporation. The
ammonia circulates back into the water solution
and the cooling cycle continues.
Leveling
Before operating the refrigerator when the
motorhome is stationary, place a small level on
the bottom of the refrigerator and make certain
the unit is level. If over 1/2 of the bubble is inside
the circle in any direction, the coach is level
enough for continuous operation of the
refrigerator while parked.
