NORCOLD 3163
The refrigerator controls are located at the top
front of the refrigerator.
The Lighting and Start-up Instructions are lo-
cated on the top portion of the interior door liner.
Gas (LP) Operation
Use while parked without shoreline connec-
tion.
1. Set thermostat (B) to the start setting.
2. Place the mode selector button (E) to the gas
position. Ignition spark will be present at the
burner.
3. Push and hold the safety valve button (A)
until the indicator lamp (G) glows steady.
Continue to hold the safety valve button in
for 15 seconds and then release. The indica-
tor lamp should remain a steady glow. If the
lamp turns off, repeat this step.
NOTICE: On initial start-up, it may take
longer for the burner to light because of air
being purged from the gas supply line.
4. Set thermostat (B) to desired temperature
setting.
AC (Shoreline) Operation
Use while connected to shoreline pole.
1. Place the mode selection button (C) to the
AC position.
2. Set the thermostat (B) to the coldest (maxi-
mum) setting. Allow to operate at maximum
setting for 6 to 8 hours before setting to mid
range.
DC (Battery 12V) Operation
Use while driving.
1. Place the mode selection button (D) to the
DC position. There is no need to set thermo-
stat to any setting. The DC operation is a
continuous run (no thermostat control)
mode.
SHUT-DOWN: ALL MODES
1. Place the mode selector button to the off
position. This will interrupt all AC and DC
power and stop operation of the refrigerator.
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.
Further Information
See the Norcold operating instructions provid-
ed in your Owner InfoCase for further informa-
tion, including precautions and periodic
maintenance.
WARNING
Do not hold gas valve in more than 30
seconds. If the flame is not indicated
within this time, turn the gas at the
selector switch (F) off, and wait 2
minutes and retry. Continuing to hold
the gas valve in will cause gas to
build up in the burner area and can
result in an explosion which can
cause property damage or severe per-
sonal injury.
