- Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.
- Push and hold the MODE button until the letters “LP” show in
the center display.
- This means that the refrigerator is operating on propane
gas.
- If the air in the propane gas supply lines prevents the
burner from ignition on propane gas, the fault codes “no”
and then “FL” will appear in the center display and you
will hear an alarm sound.
- Push and hold the ON / OFF button for one second and
then release to silence the alarm.
- Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.
- The refrigerator will start a 30 second trial for ignition.
- During the 30 second trial for ignition, the
refrigerator controls open the gas safety valve and
the igniter makes sparks.
- When no fault code shows and only the power indicator
remains, this means that the refrigerator is operating on
propane gas in the manual mode.
- At this time, all of the air is removed from the propane
gas supply lines and you may select AUTO mode of
operation if you wish.
- Depending on how much air may be in the propane gas
supply lines, you may need to repeat the 30 second trial for
ignition two or three times.
- If the burner does not ignite on propane gas after two or
three attempts, stop and consult your local dealer or an
authorized Norcold Service Center.
Set the controls to automatic mode operation:
- Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.
- Push and hold the MODE button until the letters “AU” show
in the center display and then release.
- If 120 volts AC is available to the refrigerator:
- The letters “AU” and then “AC” show in the center
display.
- After ten seconds, the “AU” and then “AC” go off and
only a green power ON light remains.
- This means that the refrigerator is operating on AC
electric.
- If 120 volts AC is not available to the refrigerator:
- The letters “AU” and then “AC” show in the center
display.
- After five seconds, the “AU” and then “LP” show in the
center display.
- After ten seconds, the “AU” and the “LP” go off and only
a green power ON light remains.
- This means that the refrigerator is operating on propane
gas.
- On 2-way models only, if neither 120 volts AC nor propane
gas is available to the refrigerator:
- The fault codes “no” “AC” and then “no” “FL” show in the
center display and an audible alarm sounds.
- On 3-way models only, if neither 120 volts AC nor propane
gas is available to the refrigerator:
- The refrigerator control will automatically change to DC
electric operation.
NOTE: DC electric operation is less efficient than AC
electric and propane gas. Use DC electric
operation only to maintain the refrigerator
temperature while in transit and if the other
energy sources are not available. Do not use DC
electric to initially decrease the temperature of
the refrigerator.
If an energy source is available to the refrigerator, but is not
operating correctly:
- A fault code shows in the center display.
- The refrigerator controls try to change to a less efficient
energy source.
- If a less efficient energy source is not available:
- An audible alarm starts.
- A fault code shows in the center display.
- Refer to the “Fault Codes” section of this manual.
Set the controls to manual mode operation:
- Push the ON / OFF button to turn the refrigerator on.
- Push and hold the MODE button until the letters “ AC” show
in the center display and then release.
- After ten seconds, the “AC” goes off and only a green
power ON light remains.
