flash, and the refrigerator will cease operation
until the energy source is corrected. Refer to the
“Diagnostic” section on page 7 of the Refrigera-
tors Operator’s Guide” in your blue binder.
Start-Up Instructions - Manual Mode
To operate the MANUAL mode, press and
hold the MODE button until the AUTO indicator
disappears and the desired operating mode is
displayed. If the power source is interrupted
while operating in the MANUAL mode, the
AUTO indicator disappears and the desired
operating mode is illuminated. Unlike AUTO
mode, the operating mode indicator remains
illuminated until an alternate mode is selected. If
the energy source is interrupted while in the
MANUAL mode, the corresponding indicator
flashes, and the refrigerator ceases operation
until an alternative energy source is selected or
the problem is corrected. Refer to the “Diagnos-
tics” section on page 7 of the Operator’s Guide
in your blue binder for corrective actions.
Auto and Manual Modes - Gas Operation
Only
If the gas does not ignite within 30 seconds,
which may occur on initial start-up, the refriger-
ator’s gas valve will automatically close and the
operating controls will select an alternate power
source (AUTO Mode) or revert to a stand-by
mode in which the LP GAS indicator flashes.
The indicator continues to flash until the refrig-
erator is turned OFF and then ON. If the gas
does not ignite after several attempts, check the
input gas supply, or consult with your dealer or a
Norcold authorized service center. A different
mode of operation may be selected by pressing
and holding the MODE button. The refrigerator
will not switch to the new operating mode until
the MODE button is released.
Backup Operating System (“BOS”)
Your refrigerator features a Backup Operat-
ing System which keeps the refrigerator cool in
the event of a failure of the refrigerator’s operat-
ing controls. If a failure occurs, the TEMP SET
indicator flashes and refrigerator switches to the
BOS mode. This mode provides refrigeration
until the refrigerator is serviced. The fresh food
and freezer compartment temperatures should be
monitored to prevent over-freezing or thawing of
refrigerator contents when operating in the BOS
mode. If the refrigerator temperature is too cold,
adjust the thermostat to a lower number in single
increments. If the refrigerator temperature is too
warm, adjust the thermostat to a higher number
in single increments. Let the refrigerator operate
at the new setting for one hour before rechecking
the freezer and fresh food compartment tempera-
tures. (Frequent door opening prevents the tem-
peratures from stabilizing.) Although the
refrigerator can operate in this mode, have
refrigerator serviced to restore manual operation
as soon as practical.
Operating Tips
•
The refrigerator should already be cold be-
fore placing items in it.
•
Food and beverages should also be cold be-
fore placing in RV refrigerator. Never put
warm or hot items in a cold refrigerator.
•
Do not pack the refrigerator too full. The re-
frigerator needs room for cold air to circulate.
•
Use smaller containers for each item. (e.g. a
half gallon container of milk instead of a half-
full gallon jug)
•
Always put foods, especially liquids, in tight-
ly sealed containers.
•
Use crumpled paper between loose items to
reduce rattling or “clinking” noises.
