Owner’s Manual 6

Operation during travel:

While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is stopped, performance during travel is not usually effected.

Food compartment:

Start up the refrigerator and let it cool for eight hours before loading with food. If the refrigerator does not start to cool down after about

two hours, contact your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.

For the best cooling performance:

- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.

- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.

To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling ns:

- Cover all liquids and moist foods.

- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.

- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.

Flip-up shelf:

The ip-up shelf supplies a space to store tall bottles. To use the ip-up shelf, lift the center of the shelf and fold it up against the inside

wall of the refrigerator.

Door Bins:

You may put the door bins [52] of the fresh food compartment in a location that best meets your

need (See Art01114). To remove the bins, lift them over the locator and pull them forward. To

install the bins, push them onto the locator.

Do not wash the door bins in a dishwasher. The door bins are not dishwasher

safe.

Freezer compartment:

The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze food.

Keep pre-frozen foods in the freezer compartment.

Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is freezing. The water

freezes more rapidly if the thermostat is at the coldest temperature setting.

Door latch for travel and storage:

During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening. There are no chains, slides, or any

devices that you must engage.

During storage, the door latch prevents the door from completely closing. Use it to

prevent odors when the refrigerator is shut down for a long period of time.

To use the door latch for storage (See Art00979):

- Open the door just so the door latch [161] is between the ribs [166] of the latch plate

[162].

Owner’s Manual 7

Operating the Refrigerator Controls

Controls:

This refrigerator is made for refrigerating purposes and operates on a 12/24 volt DC power supply when installed as written in this

manual.

On DC558XX models, the controls are located inside the food compartment on the right side under the shelf.

The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat [1] (See Art02246). Number

“0” is the “OFF” position. The thermostat will rmly “click” in and out of the “0 - OFF”

position. Number “1” is the warmest and number “5” is the coldest thermostat position.

For efcient operation, change the thermostat according to the types of food stored and

the ambient temperature.

Do not operate the refrigerator when the ambient temperature is higher

than 110° F.

Cooling unit protection systems:

The BD compressor system protects against conditions that can result from high

ambient temperatures or short on/off cycling of the unit. These conditions are

compressor overload and start failure, fan overload, electronic unit overheating, or

destructive battery discharge.

If the overload or start failure protection activates, the compressor will stop. The

compressor will automatically attempt to restart, about once per minute, until it successfully restarts.

If the temperature of the electronic unit is too high, the compressor will stop. The compressor will restart automatically when the

temperature of the electronic unit lowers.

If the compressor stops due to overload or electronic unit overheating, the fan will continue to run.

If the fan current is more than 0.5 amps, the fan over load protection stops the compressor and the fan.

ARRÊT

Refrigerator Care Checklist

Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:

- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See “Cleaning”.

- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.

- Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.

Owner’s Manual 8

It is normal for frost to collect on the freezer plates of the refrigerator. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the

refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator as necessary:

- Put the thermostat in the “0 - OFF” position.

- Remove all food from the refrigerator.

Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.

- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to absorb the water.

- Put trays of hot water in the freezer until the frost is melted.

- Empty the drip tray in either of these two ways:

- Pull the drip tray forward to remove it from the refrigerator.

- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.

- If removed, put the drip tray in the refrigerator.

- Put all food in the refrigerator.

- Put the power switch / thermostat at the temperature setting that you wish.

Cleaning:

A good time to clean the refrigerator is just after you defrost it.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because they can damage the interior of the refrigerator.

- Wash the interior with a mild cleaner or a solution of liquid dish detergent and warm water.

- Rinse with a solution of baking soda and clean water.

- Dry with a clean cloth.

- Put all food back into the refrigerator.

Defrosting

NOTICE

Owner’s Manual 9

Door Sealing

If the door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect inside the refrigerator. Make sure the door seals correctly:

- Close the door on a piece of paper that is about the size and thickness of a dollar bill

(See Art00980).

- Gently pull the paper.

- You should feel a slight drag between the gasket and the cabinet.

- Do this on all four sides of the door.

- If you do not feel a slight drag on the paper, the door is not sealing correctly:

- Make sure the screws of the hinges are tight.

- Make sure the door gasket does not touch the door latch:

- If the door gasket touches the door latch, loosen the screws of the door latch.

- Raise the door latch just so it does not touch and tighten the screws of the door latch.

- Make sure the door latch holds the door closed.

Art00980

Refrigerator Storage

Before the refrigerator is stored for an extended (seasonal) period of time:

- Defrost and clean the interior of the refrigerator.

- Close the doors with the storage latch.

Refrigerator Maintenance Checklist

If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, put the thermostat to the “0 - OFF” position.

Norcold is not responsible for installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance performed by anyone other

than a qualied RV dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.

Have a qualied dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center do these annual safety and maintenance checks:

- Make sure the DC voltage is 10.5 - 27.0 volts.

- The wire connections must be clean, tight and free of corrosion. If any of these items are not correct:

- A voltage drop to the refrigerator will occur.

- The voltage drop will decrease the cooling performance of the refrigerator.

Disconnect the positive (+) DC power supply wire from the battery before you do a “fast charge” of the battery.

Failure to disconnect the positive (+) power supply wire from the battery during a “fast charge” can cause

damage to the refrigerator or other 12 volt DC appliances.

NOTICE

Owner’s Manual 10

Trouble Shooting

If the refrigerator does not cool correctly:

- Make sure the power switch / thermostat is not in the OFF position.

- Make sure that the refrigerator is correctly installed and that the front grill and condenser coil are not blocked.

- Make sure that the power source to the refrigerator is serviceable.

- Make sure that the fuse or circuit breaker is intact (See “Over current protection system” section).

- Make sure that the ambient temperature is not unusually high (more than 110° F. / 43° C.)

- Make sure that the door is closed.

- If the weather is hot, make sure that the door is sealing correctly.

- Make sure that the air circulation inside the refrigerator is not decreased by foods or by shelves that are covered with plastic, paper,

etc.

- Make sure that hot foods were not placed in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator.

- Make sure that the freezer is defrosted.

After you make these checks, if the refrigerator does not operate, contact your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.

Over current protection system:

Your refrigerator has an over current protection system in the electronic circuit to prevent damage to the control module which may

occur due to a reverse polarity connection.

If the refrigerator does not operate, check the fuse and the polarity of the DC power supply. If the refrigerator still does not operate,

another problem may exist. Have an authorized Norcold Service Center check the refrigerator.
