REFRIGERATOR
This appliance in your Jayco travel trailer has been designed by its manufacturer to
operate on 120 volt AC, 12 volt DC or on LP gas energy. Its performance depends on
numerous factors such as energy, venting, leveling, humidity and atmosphere tempera-
tures. Always cool the refrigerator for eight hours prior to loading it with food. The
refrigerator is not intended for quick freezing or cooling, so be sure to load it with
already frozen/cooled food. Air must be free to circulate within the fresh food compart-
ment.
Do not cover the shelves with paper, plastic, etc.
Safety Instructions
Be sure to read the manufacturer’s owner’s manual carefully and understand the contents
before using the refrigerator.

WARNING:
• All service work must be done by a qualified service technician.
• The storage of flammable materials behind or around the refrigerator creates
a fire hazard. Do not use the area behind the refrigerator to store flammable
materials (gasoline, cleaning supplies, etc.)
• A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the wires and/or fuses are
not the correct size. Use only the wire and fuse sizes as indicated in the
manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
• Incorrect installations, adjustment, change to, or maintenance of the refrig-
erator can cause personal injury, property damage, or both. Have service and
maintenance work done by your dealer or by a Norcold authorized service
center.
• Do not remove the round ground prong from the refrigerator AC power cord.
Do not use a two prong adapter or extension cord on the AC power cord.
• 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 fire.
• Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical components or features.
• When you discard an appliance, remove all doors to prevent accidental en-
trapment and suffocation.
• The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do not try to repair or to
recharge a defective cooling system. The cooling system contents can cause
severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and burn with an intense flame. Do
not bend, drop, weld, move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.

CAUTION: The refrigerator is made to operate within 3° off level side-to-
side and 6° off level front-to-back (as looking at the front of the refrigerator).
Operating it at more than these limits can cause damage to the cooling system and
create a risk of personal injury or property damage. Make sure the vehicle is level
before you operate the refrigerator.
Flushing Instructions
The Atwood water heater is recommended for recreation vehicle use. If your RV is used
frequently, or taken to different areas that use various types of water, it is recommended
that the water heater be flushed periodically throughout the year to prolong the life of the
inner tank. The following procedure summarizes the steps necessary for flushing the
water heater inner tank.
1. Turn off the main water supply (pump or water hookup source).
2. Drain the water heater inner tank. Approximately two quarts of water will remain in
the bottom of the tank. This water contains a great deal of the harmful corrosive
material that has accumulated in the tank.
3. Flush the tank with air pressure or fresh water to remove the remaining water.
Air Pressure:
Air pressure may be applied through the inlet or outlet valve located
on the rear of the tank or water heater relief valve located on the front of the unit. If
the relief valve is used, remove the relief valve prior to flushing the water heater and
insert air pressure through the relief valve support flange.
Fresh Water:
Pump fresh water into the tank with the assistance of an on board or
external water pressure. The water may also be hosed into the tank through the inlet
or outlet valve located on the rear of the tank or the relief valve located on the front
of the unit. If the relief valve is used, remove the relief valve prior to flushing the
water heater and insert air pressure through the relief valve support flange. Continue
this process for approximately five minutes, allowing ample time for the water to
agitate the stagnant water on the bottom of the tank and thus forcing the deposits
through the drain opening.
4. Close the drain and relief valves.
