Install Decorative Door Panels

NOTE: The doors are made to accept decorative panels. The decorative panels must be 3/16 inch or less in thickness. Install the decorative door panels in the refrigerator doors before installing the refrigerator in the vehicle.

1.Make two upper door panels that are 16 13/64 inches wide x

18 3/8 inches high:

-Raised panels must be centered on each door and no larger than 15 11/32 inchs wide x 17 17/32 inches high.

2.Make two lower door panels that are 16 13/64 inches wide x

41 13/64 inches high:

-Raised panels must be centered on each door and no larger than 15 11/32 inchs wide x 40 11/32 inches high.

3.Install the decorative door panels:

-Pull the panel retainer [1] off of each door [3] (See Art00965).

-Push a decorative door panel [2] into the slots of each door.

-Make sure that each panel retainer is correctly positioned and push the curved snap [4] of the panel retainer [5] inside of the curved snap [6] of the door (See Art01590).

-Push the refrigerator completely into the enclosure.

-Put the screws [1] through the upper and then the lower mounting bracket on the front of the refrigerator and into the enclosure wall (See Art01106).

-Put a corner trim piece [3] on each front corner of the refrigerator (See Art01106, Art01584, and Art01585).

-Make sure that each corner trim piece is behind the side trim [4].

-Put the top and bottom trim pieces [5] against the front of the refrigerator (See Art01106, Art01585, Art01586, and Art01587).

-Make sure that the top and bottom trim pieces are on top of each of the corner trim piece.

-Put the edge of the top and bottom trim pieces over the edge of the aluminum extrusion [6].

-Push the Y-shaped edge of each trim piece over the opposite side of the aluminum extrusion until it locks into position against the vehicle wall [7].

-Put two screws through the holes [4] in the mounting flange on the rear of the refrigerator and into the floor (See Art00996).

Install the Refrigerator

Put the refrigerator in position:

WARNING: Make sure the combustion seal is not broken, is completely around the refrigerator mounting flanges, and is between the mounting flanges and the wall of the enclosure If the seal is not complete, exhaust fumes can be present in the living area of the vehicle. The breathing of exhaust fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, or in extreme cases, death.

NOTE: Be careful when you put the refrigerator into position. The refrigerator has vacuum insulating panels on the top and sides. If punctured, these panels lose insulation value which decreases the cooling perfor- mance of the refrigerator.

-Make sure that the flue cap is not pushed down against the top of the flue tube.

Optional Installation

You can change enclosures that were made for Norcold model N8XX refrigerators so that you can put Norcold model 120X refrigerators into them.

To change the Norcold model N8XX refrigerator enclosure [23] into the Norcold model 120X refrigerator enclosure [24] (See Art01597):

-Increase the height of the enclosure by 3 3/8 inches [25].

-Increase the width of the enclosure by 8 13/16 inches [26].

-Make sure to add the additional width to the left side of the enclosure (as looking at the rear of the refrigerator).

Install the necessary baffles only as written in the “Install the Upper and Lower Vents” section of this manual.

The locations of the 12 VDC supply, the 120 VAC supply, and the propane gas supply line do not change.
