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.
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“.
-Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or gas control changes. If changes occur, contact your dealer or service center.
-Make sure the gas supply is propane gas only and not butane or a butane mixture.
-When in propane gas operation, examine the appearance of the flame. See “Gas Flame Appearance”.
-Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent, through the refrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper exhaust vent is not blocked or decreased.
-Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do not use the area behind the refrigerator for storage of anything, especially gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
