damage to the compressor. Operating the refrigerator when the ambient temperature is higher that 110°F
CAUTION
can result in poor cooling performance.

Refrigerator Care Checklist
Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble-free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:
- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See "Cleaning".
- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See "Defrosting".
- Make sure the door seals correctly. See "Door Sealing".
- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or thermostat changes. If changes occur, contact your
dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.
- Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent and out the upper exhaust vent is not blocked or decreased.
Defrosting:
The freezer walls of the refrigerator operate at below freezing temperature and will naturally form frost from humidity, which is always
present in the air. The humidity inside the refrigerator increases:
- with higher outside temperature and humidity.
- with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.
- with the amount of time that the door(s) are open.
- with any air leakage into the refrigerator.
It is normal for frost to collect inside the refrigerator. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the
refrigerator as necessary:
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
- Turn the refrigerator OFF.
Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator, which falls onto the drip tray and flows to the
NOTICE
outside of the refrigerator through the drain tube.
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to help remove the excess water.
High temperatures can cause the inside surfaces of the refrigerator to warp or melt. Do not use pans of
!
HOT water, a hair dryer, or any other high temperature devices to defrost the refrigerator. Do not use any
CAUTION
hard or sharp objects to remove frost. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.
- To increase the speed of defrosting, put pans of WARM water in the refrigerator.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.
- Start up the refrigerator.
- Allow the refrigerator to cool down.
- Return all food to the refrigerator.
