Installation Manual 3
Certication and Code Requirements
Safety Instructions
- This refrigerator is not approved for use as a free standing refrigerator. It is equipped for the use of propane gas only
and can not be changed to use any other fuels (natural gas, butane, etc.).
- Incorrect installation, adjustment, alteration, or maintenance of this refrigerator can cause personal injury, property
damage, or both.
- Obey the instructions in this manual to install intake and exhaust vents.
- Do not install the refrigerator directly on carpet. Put the refrigerator on a metal or wood panel that extends the full
width and depth of the refrigerator.
- Do not allow anything to touch the refrigerator cooling system.
- Propane gas can ignite and cause an explosion that can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Do not
smoke or create sparks. Do not use an open ame to examine the propane gas supply line for leaks. Always use two
wrenches to tighten or loosen the propane gas supply line connections.
- Make sure the electrical installation obeys all applicable codes. See “Certication and Code Requirements” section.
- Do not bypass or change the refrigerators 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.
- Make sure that the refrigerator is stored in a location so that it is not exposed to the elements of the weather.
This refrigerator is certied 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 installation must obey these standards and this “Installation
Manual” for the NORCOLD limited warranty to be in eect.
Installation must conform with the following as applicable:
WARNING

Art01290
Installation Manual 4
Ventilation Requirements
The completed installation must:
- Make sure there is sucient 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
baes and panel construction.
Certied 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 certication 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 certication allows the refrigerator to have zero (0) inch minimum clearance at the sides, rear, top, and bottom.
While there are no maximum clearances specied for certication, 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 allow 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.
The refrigerator also has thermostat controlled fans to move air across the cooling system. These fans turn on when the condenser n
temperature at the thermostat is about 130° F or higher and only when the refrigerator controls are on. These fans turn o when the
condenser n temperature at the thermostat is about 115° F or less. Even with these fans, if the air ow is blocked or decreased, the
refrigerator will not cool correctly.
Each NORCOLD model is certied by CSA International for correct ventilation. Install only the certied vents that are listed in this
manual.
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.
All propane gas supply piping and ttings must obey local, state, and national codes about type and size. These components must also
obey the current NFPA 1192 section 2-4, and in Canada with the current CAN 1-6.10 Standard.

When manually (by hand) or mechanically (by hoist, lift truck, etc.) handling a refrigerator that is not installed in an enclosure, the best
method is while the regerator is in its original packaging.
If the refrigerator is not in its original packaging, use the handling straps [183] of the refrigerator cabinet as the primary load carrying
points (See Art0290). There are two (2) handling straps on both the right and left side of the refrigerator cabinet.
These handling straps may be used to lift, move, and tilt the refrigerator. Norcold recommends that all lifting, moving, and tilting of the
refrigerator is always done by at least 2 persons.
Use only the handling straps to lift, move, or tilt the refrigerator. Using any part of the refrigerator other
than the handing straps, to lift, move, or tilt it can result in damage to the refrigerator.
1. Remove the packaging support block (See Art01850):
- Open both lower doors of the refrigerator.
- Remove and discard the two screws [41] from the front of the lower mounting ange of the refrigerator.
- Tilt the refrigerator back just enough to remove the wooden packaging
support block [209] from behind the lower mounting ange.

Installation Manual 15
The rear of the refrigerator cooling system has hot surfaces and sharp surfaces that can damage electrical
wiring. Make sure that there is a good clearance between all electrical wiring and the cooling system of the
refrigerator. Position any electrical wiring within the refrigerator enclosure opposite the burner side of the
refrigerator. Do not put any electrical wiring through the roof exhaust vent. Failure to correctly position
electrical wiring can result in electrical shock or re.
Connect the 120 volts AC supply:
Connect the AC power cord(s) only to a grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the round
ground prong from any of the AC power cords. Do not use a two prong adapter or an extension cord with
any of the AC power cords. Operation of the refrigerator without correct ground can cause dangerous
electrical shock or death if you are touching the metal parts of the refrigerator.
Put the AC power cord(s) into a grounded three-prong receptacle:
- Make sure the receptacle is positioned within easy reach of the lower intake vent.
- Make sure the power cord(s) does not touch the burner cover, the ue pipe, or any hot component that could damage the insulation
of the power cord.
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.
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 Art02402):
- Attach a 1/4 inch Quick Connect terminal to each DC power supply wire.
- Push the positive DC power wire onto the power board terminal that is
marked 12VDC [288].
- Push the DC ground wire onto the power board terminal that is marked GND [287].
- Make sure each DC power supply wire is on the correct polarity terminal.

Connect the Low Ambient Heater
Connect the low ambient heater wires to the 12 volts DC supply. The black (+) wire of the low ambient heater connects to 12V and the
brown wire connects to 12V ground.
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.

Installation Manual 16
This refrigerator operates on propane gas at a pressure of 11 inches Water Column Propane.
The controls operate on 12 volts DC (10.5 volts min. - 15.4 volts max.). Operation out of these limits can damage the refrigerator
electrical circuit parts and will void the warranty.
Connect the propane gas supply system:
Be very careful when working on or near the propane gas system.
- Do not smoke, or use an open ame near the propane gas system.
- Do not use an open ame to examine for leaks.
- Do not connect the refrigerator to the propane gas tank without a pressure regulator between them.
- To avoid a propane gas leak, always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen the propane gas supply line connections.
- Leaking propane gas can ignite or explode and result in dangerous personal injury or death.
Connect the Propane Gas Components
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 propane gas supply line 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 o 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 o valve of
the refrigerator before the test.
