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 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 compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food frozen
and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in the
freezer compartment.
NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water
is freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the
thermostat is at the COLDEST position.

Crisper(s):
The crisper(s) are located at the bottom of the fresh food
compartment and supply a storage area to preserve fruit and
vegetable freshness. Make sure that you always push the
crispers fully in.
NOTE: Do not wash the crispers in a dishwasher. The crispers
are not dishwasher safe.
Door bins:
You may put the door bins [52] of the freezer and fresh food
compartment in a location that best meets your needs (see
Art00989). To remove the bins, lift them over the locator and pull
them forward. To install the bins, push them onto the locator.
NOTE: Do not wash the door bins and bin slides in a
dishwasher. The door bins and bin slides are not
dishwasher safe.
Adjustable shelves:
The shelves in the freezer and the fresh food compartment are
made so you can remove them or move them.
To remove or move the shelf of the freezer:
- Pull the shelf forward out of the slot.
- Push it fully into the slot that you wish.
To remove or move each shelf of the fresh food compartment:
- Remove the screw from the retainer of each shelf at the rear
of the refrigerator.
- Pull each shelf forward out of the slot.
- Push each shelf fully into the slot that you wish.
- Attach the retainer with the screw.
Door handles:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.
When closing each door, push the door toward the refrigerator
until you hear a "click" sound.
To open each door, pull the handle away from the refrigerator.
During storage, the storage latch prevents the door from
completely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigerator
is stored for an extended period of time.
To operate the storage latch (see Art00991), open each door
about 1/2 inch and push the storage latch [55] into the cutout [56]
of the strike plate. Do not use the storage latch as a travel latch
because the doors will not be fully closed.
