authorized Norcold Service Center.
Owner’s Manual 11
Eects of High Altitude on Propane Gas Operation
When you operate the refrigerator on propane gas at altitudes higher than 5500 feet above sea level:
- You may experience reduced cooling performance of the refrigerator.
- You may experience burner outages.
To avoid these possible problems, Norcold recommends that you operate the refrigerator on AC when at altitudes higher than 5500 feet
above sea level.
Eects of Freezing Temperatures on Refrigerator Operation
A gas absorption refrigerator is not designed to operate in freezing temperatures. If the refrigerator is not equipped for low temperature
operation, and if the cooling system of the refrigerator is exposed to temperatures of 32° F. or lower for an extended period of time,
the refrigerator operation may be disrupted. The refrigerator operation will resume when the cooling system of the refrigerator warms
suciently.
The refrigerator is equipped for low temperature operation. The refrigerator will operate in temperatures down to 0° F with the cold
weather kit provided if connected.
Disrupted operation of the refrigerator, due to extended exposure to temperatures of 32° F. or lower, and any costs incurred to warm the
cooling system of the refrigerator are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty. Please contact your local RV dealer for information
about how to resume refrigerator operation or about how to equip your refrigerator for operation in freezing temperatures.

Shut down:
- Push and hold the POWER ON/OFF button [30] for one second to turn o the refrigerator.
This kit supplies DC voltage to the heater any time the ambient temperature is low enough. Extended storage during
cold weather will drain the vehicle batteries. To prevent battery drain, remove the 3 amp fuse from the low ambient
heater.
NOTICE
Owner’s Manual 12
Ice Maker
The ice maker is fully automatic and will operate in ambient temperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at temperatures between
0° F and 32° F., the ice maker has a heater on the solenoid water valve and on the water line between the solenoid valve and the ice
maker. At temperatures below 0° F, store the ice maker as written in the “Ice Maker Storage” section of this manual.
The water line heater does not protect the water supply line from the vehicle shut o valve to the solenoid
valve on the back of the refrigerator.
When the freezer temperature of the refrigerator is low enough, the ice maker opens the water solenoid valve and lls the mold. The
ice maker ejects the frozen ice into a storage bin. As the storage bin lls, the ice raises the shut-o arm until it turns o the ice maker.
As you use the ice and lower the ice level in the storage bin, the shut-o arm also lowers. This turns the ice maker ON and begins the
process of making ice.
The ice maker operates on:
- Cold potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.
- 120 Volts AC (108 VAC min. - 132 VAC max.).
Ice maker operation:
1. Make sure the ice maker AC power cord is plugged into a receptacle.
2. Open the water shut o valve of the vehicle.
Make sure that the ice maker arm can move freely and does not touch the
frozen foods in the freezer.
3. Push the ice maker arm down to the ON position [60] (See Art01015).
If you operate the refrigerator without connecting the water supply line
and/or opening the water shut o valve of the vehicle, make sure the
ice maker arm is up in the OFF position.
4. Allow the freezer to cool enough and ice production will begin to ll the storage bin [61].
New plumbing connections and/or impurities in the water supply line after
winterizing can cause the rst ice to be discolored or have an odd avor.
5. To stop the ice maker, push the ice maker arm up to the OFF position [62].

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”.
- Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.
- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or gas control changes. If changes occur, contact your
dealer or service center.
- Make sure the gas supply is propane gas only and not butane or a butane mixture.
- When in propane gas operation, examine the appearance of the ame. See “Gas Flame Appearance”.
- Make sure the air ow in the lower intake vent, through the refrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper exhaust vent is not
blocked or decreased.
- Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do not use the area behind the refrigerator for storage of anything, especially
combustible materials, especially gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
Defrosting
The cooling ns 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.
Although the refrigerator is not frost -free, it is made to limit frost on the cooling ns. At regular intervals, the temperature control system
automatically melts most of the frost from the cooling ns. The water from the cooling ns drains into a collection cup that is attached to
the back of the refrigerator. The heat of the cooling system evaporates the water from the collection cup.
It is normal for frost to collect inside the freezer. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the
refrigerator and freezer as necessary:
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
- Turn the refrigerator OFF.
Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Remove the drain hose from the drip cup at the rear of the refrigerator.
- Put the drain hose into a half-gallon or larger container to capture water.
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator and freezer to absorb melted frost.
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
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 and freezer.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.
- Remove the drain hose from the large container and put the drain hose back into the drip cup.
- Remove the large container from the enclosure.
- Start up the refrigerator.
- Allow the refrigerator to cool down.
- Return all food to the refrigerator.
