- Make sure the electrical installation obeys all applicable codes. See “Certication and Code Requirements” section.
- Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical components or features.
- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are electrically
conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases re.
- 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 ame. Do not
bend, drop, weld, move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on the
refrigerator, use caution and wear cut resistant gloves.
Certication and Code Requirements
This refrigerator is certied by CSA International as meeting the
latest edition of ANSI Z21.19 / CSA 1.4 standards for installation in
mobile homes or recreational vehicles.
The refrigerator must be installed in accordance with this
“Installation Manual” in order for the Norcold limited warranty to be
in effect. In addition, the installation must conform to the following,
as applicable:
In the United States and Canada:
- Local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the Natural Gas and Propane
installation Code, CSA B149.1, ANSI A119.2 Recreational Vehicles Code, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicles.
- A manufactured home (mobile home) installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24 (part 280), and the
current CSA Z240.4, Gas-equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing.
- If an external power source is utilized, the appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, the National Electrical code, and ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2.
Parts 1 and 2.

Installation Manual 4
Ventilation Requirements
The completed installation must:
- Make sure there is sufcient intake of fresh air for combustion.
- Make sure the living space is completely isolated from the combustion system of the refrigerator.
- Make sure there is complete and unrestricted ventilation of the ue exhaust which, in gas mode, can produce carbon
monoxide. The breathing of carbon monoxide fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, or in extreme cases, death.
- Make sure the refrigerator is completely isolated from its heat generating components through the correct use of
bafes and panel construction.
Certied installation needs one lower intake vent and one upper exhaust vent. Install the vents exactly as written in this manual. Any
other installation method voids both the certication and the factory warranty of the refrigerator.
The bottom of the opening for the lower intake vent, which is also the service access door, must be even with or immediately below the
oor level. This allows any leaking propane gas to escape to the outside and not to collect at oor level.
CSA International certication allows the refrigerator to have zero (0) inch minimum clearance at the sides, rear, top, and bottom. While
there are no maximum clearances specied for certication, the following maximum clearances are necessary for correct refrigerator
performance:
Bottom 0 inch min. 0 inch max.
Each Side 0 inch min 1/2 inch max.
Top 0 inch min. 1/4 inch max.
Rear 0 inch min. 1 inch max.
These clearances plus the lower and upper vents cause the natural air draft that is necessary for good refrigeration. Cooler air comes
in through the lower vent, goes up around the refrigerator coils where it removes the excess heat from the refrigerator components, and
goes out through the upper vent. If this air ow is blocked or decreased, the refrigerator will not cool correctly.
Each NORCOLD model is certied by CSA International for correct ventilation. Install only the certied vents that are listed in this
manual.

Connect the 12 volts DC supply:
As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator increases, the correct AWG wire size and fuse size also increases. If the
wire size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop occurs. The voltage drop decreases the output of the system heater and causes
poor cooling performance.
1. Determine the min. wire size and the max. fuse size to use:
If you use an incorrect wire size and/or fuse size, electrical re can result.
- On 2-way models, use a minimum of 18 AWG wire and a maximum 6 Amp fuse.
- On 3-way models, measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator.
- If the distance is 0 - 20 feet, use a minimum of 10 AWG wire and a maximum 30 Amp fuse.
- If the distance is over 20 feet, use a minimum of 8 AWG wire and a maximum 40 Amp fuse.
- If the wire size is larger than the min. size, use the correct fuse per RVIA A119.2 standard or local codes.
2. Install a fuse in DC power supply wires between the battery and the refrigerator:
- Put fuse as close to the battery as possible.
3. Connect the DC power supply wires (See Art00966):
- Attach a 1/4 inch Quick Connect terminal to each DC power supply wire.
Do not use the chassis of the refrigerator or the vehicle frame as one of
the conductors. Attach the DC power supply wires only to the battery and
the power board [49] of the refrigerator.
- Push the positive DC power wire [50] onto the power board terminal that is marked
12VDC.
- Push the DC ground wire [51] onto the power board terminal that is marked GND.

Ignition and Start Up
- To avoid a propane gas leak, always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen the propane gas supply line connections.
- Leaking propane gas leak can ignite or explode and result in dangerous personal injury or death.
Connect the gas supply line to the refrigerator:
- Make sure that all tubing and ttings obey all local, state, and national codes about size and type.
- Make sure that all exible metal connectors obey the current CAN1-6.10 Standard.
- Make sure that the materials used for the gas supply line obey both the current ANSI A 119.2 (NFPA 1192) and CSA Z240
Standards on Recreational Vehicles. Norcold recommends the use of 3/8 inch copper tubing as the gas supply line and requires a
3/8 inch SAE (UNF 5/8-18) male are tting as the connection to the refrigerator.
- Put the propane gas supply line up through the oor of the enclosure.
- Make sure the hole through the oor is large enough allow clearance for the gas supply line.
- Put a weather resistant seal (grommet, sealant, etc.) around the gas supply line where it goes through the oor to prevent vibration
and abrasion.
- To prevent vibration and abrasion, make sure that the gas supply line is not against anything in the enclosure.
- Attach the gas supply line to the bulkhead tting of the refrigerator.
Examine the gas supply system for leaks:
Do not allow the leak detecting solution to touch the electrical components. Many liquids are electrically
conductive and can cause electrical shorts and in some cases, re.
Use a leak detecting solution to examine the gas supply line and all propane gas connections for leaks.
If you use compressed air for the test:
- The pressure of the compressed air at the manual shut off valve of the refrigerator must not be more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water
Column).
- If the pressure of the compressed air is more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), remove the gas supply line from the
bulkhead tting of the refrigerator before the test.
- If the pressure of the compressed air is equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), close the manual shut off valve of
the refrigerator before the test.
