Effects of High Altitude on Propane Gas Operation
When you operate the refrigerator on propane gas at altitudes higher than 5500 feet above sea level:
- You may experience reduced cooling performance of the refrigerator.
- You may experience burner outages.
To avoid these possible problems, Norcold recommends that you operate the refrigerator on AC when at altitudes higher than 5500 feet
above sea level.
Effects of Freezing Temperatures on Refrigerator Operation
A gas absorption refrigerator is not designed to operate in freezing temperatures. If the refrigerator is not equipped for low temperature
operation, and if the cooling system of the refrigerator is exposed to temperatures of 32° F. or lower for an extended period of time,
the refrigerator operation may be disrupted. The refrigerator operation will resume when the cooling system of the refrigerator warms
sufficiently.
The refrigerator is equipped for low temperature operation. The refrigerator will operate in temperatures down to 0° F with the cold
weather kit provided if connected.
Disrupted operation of the refrigerator, due to extended exposure to temperatures of 32° F. or lower, and any costs incurred to warm the
cooling system of the refrigerator are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty. Please contact your local RV dealer for information
about how to resume refrigerator operation or about how to equip your refrigerator for operation in freezing temperatures.
Do not change the installation or the venting of your refrigerator. Refrigerator failures, which are the result of changes to either the
refrigerator installation or to the venting, are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty.
Set the controls to manual mode operation:
- Push and release the POWER ON/OFF button [30] to turn on the refrigerator.(See Art02493)
- Push and hold the MODE button [31] until the desired Manual mode indicator comes on.
- Manual mode AC electric [283].
- Manual mode gas [284].
If the energy source is interrupted:
- A fault code shows in the LCD.
- Refer to the “Fault Codes” section of this manual.
Shut down:
- Push and hold the POWER ON/OFF button [30] for one second to turn off the refrigerator.
This kit supplies DC voltage to the heater any time the ambient temperature is low enough. Extended storage during
cold weather will drain the vehicle batteries. To prevent battery drain, remove the 3 amp fuse from the low ambient
heater.
