priority source. If a lower power priority source
is not available, the indicator will continue to
flash, and the refrigerator will cease operation
until the energy source is corrected. Refer to the
“Diagnostic” section on page 7 of the “Norcold
9100 Series Refrigerators 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 Norcold 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 compart-
ment temperatures. (Frequent door opening pre-
vents the temperatures from stabilizing.)
Although the refrigerator can operate in this
mode, Norcold recommends that you seek ser-
vice to restore manual operation as soon as prac-
tical.
HUMIDITY - STORAGE SWITCH
Turning this switch to HIGH HUMIDITY will
keep the surface between the door openings dry
during high humidity conditions. The switch
should be left in the NORMAL OPERATION
position unless moisture collects around the door.
When storing your RV for the winter, place
this switch in the STORAGE (LIGHT OFF) po-
sition. This shuts off all DC power to the light
and humidity heater and allows the refrigerator
door to be left open for airing without draining
the battery.
