Owner’s Manual 4
Food compartment:
Start up the refrigerator (see “Operating the Refrigerator Controls”)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 a Norcold authorized
service center.
For the best cooling performance:
- Do not position food items so that they cause a blockage of the openings
at the sides and the rear of the shelves. The openings allow air to circulate
freely inside the compartment.
- 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.
Freezer compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze food.
Door handles:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening. When closing each door, push
the door toward the refrigerator until you hear a “click” sound.
To open each door, pull the handle away from the refrigerator (See Art0812).
Movable door seal:
The movable door seal [134] is located on the left door of the fresh food compartment (See
Art0813). It provides the correct seal when both doors of the fresh food compartment are
closed. When the left door of the fresh food compartment opens, the movable
door seal moves so that it is flat against the edge of the door. To avoid possible
damage to the movable door seal, make sure that it is flat against the edge of
the door before you close the door
Crispers and beverage bin:
The crispers are located at the bottom of the fresh food compartment and supply
a storage area to preserve fruit and vegetable freshness. Make sure that you
always push the crispers fully in. The crisper covers open as the crispers open
and close as the crispers close.
Each crisper also has an adjustable vent that is used to adjust the humidity
inside each crisper. Move each vent toward the right (high humidity)
for most vegetables or toward the left (low humidity) for most fruits (See
Art01834).
The crispers, crisper covers, beverage bin, and beverage bin cover are
removable for cleaning.
NOTE: Do not wash the crispers, crisper covers, beverage bin, or
beverage bin cover in a dishwasher. These parts are not
dishwasher safe.
