- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections,
or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can create 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 chromate.
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
flue, the burner, the 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.
About Your Refrigerator
Storage volume:
This refrigerator is made for food storage.
Total capacity ................................................. 1.8 cubic feet
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 forms on the cooling fins:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.
Ventilation fan:
The refrigerator has a thermostat controlled ventilation fan to
move air across the refrigerator cooling system. The fan runs
when the interior temperature of the vehicle is 85° F. or higher.
When leaving the vehicle unattended, it is advisable to leave
windows or the roof vents open to help keep the vehicle's interior
temperature less than 85° F. These temperatures allow the
refrigerator to operate efficiently, minimize fan operation, and limit
the current draw from the battery.

Controls:
The refrigerator control panel is located above the refrigerator
door. Unlike refrigerators with electric controls, this refrigerator
will operate on one energy source, independently of the others.

The gas safety valve [91] is controlled by a thermocouple that
is located in the burner flame. As long as a flame is present,
the safety valve is open and allows propane gas to flow to the
burner. Any loss of flame (empty gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes
the safety valve and stops the flow of propane gas. During igni-
tion of propane gas operation, you must hold in the gas safety
valve until a flame is present at the burner.
