Ignition - Propane Gas Operation; Do A Test Of The Gas Safety Valve - Norcold N180.3 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

The piezo igniter [216] makes a spark which ignites the flame in the burner.
The flame meter [217] shows if a flame is present in the burner.
The gas control [294] sets the temperature setting of the refrigerator when operating in the GAS mode. To change the temperature
setting, push and turn the gas control to either the HI, MED, or the LO position. HI is the coldest temperature setting.
This is not an automatic gas control. It does not change the flame from high fire to low fire as with other RV
NOTICE
refrigerators. If the cooling load changes, you must manually change the gas control to maintain the same
temperature inside the refrigerator.
The gas control has a gas safety valve built into it. As long as a flame is present, the safety valve is open and allows the LP gas to flow
to the burner. Any loss of the flame (empty gas tank, blow out, etc.) closes the safety valve and stops the flow of LP gas.
When the outside air temperature is below 50°F, the refrigerator may have a tendency to freeze food at the colder temperature settings.
To reduce the tendency to freeze food:
- Turn the gas control to LO position.
- Keep the refrigerator full.
- Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.
Ignition - LP gas operation:
1. Open the valve at the LP gas storage tank.
2. Turn the selector switch [207] to the LP gas position (
3. Turn the gas control [294] to the HI position
4. Push and hold in the gas control [294]
5. Push in the piezo lighter [216] several times in rapid successions, for about five seconds:
Do not hold in the gas control for more than 30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at least five
!
WARNING
minutes before you try ignition again. If you continue to hold in the gas control, LP gas will collect in the
burner area. This could cause a fire or explosion and result in dangerous personal injury or death.
- When a flame is present and the flame meter [217] moves into the green area, wait about five seconds and release the gas control.
- If the flame meter does not move into the green area, do this step again.
6. Turn the gas control [294] to the desired temperature setting.
Do a test of the LP gas safety valve:
With an established flame while operating on LP gas:
1. Push and turn the gas control to the off position. (
2. After the flame is extinguished, you should hear a sharp "click" sound within 90 seconds.
NOTICE The LP gas safety valve should close with a sharp "click" sound.
3. Push and turn the gas control to the HI position.
4. Without pushing in the gas control, push the igniter several times rapidly in succession. The burner flame should not ignite. This
means that the LP gas safety valve is working correctly.
