Although the refrigerator is not frost -free, it is made to limit frost on the cooling fins. At regular intervals, the temperature control system automatically melts most of the frost from the cooling fins. The water from the cooling fins drains into a collection cup that is attached to the back of the refrigerator. The heat of the cooling system evaporates the water from the collection cup.

It is normal for frost to collect inside the freezer. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator as necessary:

CAUTION: Do not use a hair dryer, heat gun, etc. to defrost the refrigerator. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.

-Remove all food from the refrigerator.

-Push the ON /OFF button to shut down the refrigerator.

NOTE: Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.

-Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to absorb the water.

-Put trays of hot water in the freezer until the frost is melted.

-Empty the drip tray.

-Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.

-Put the drip tray into the refrigerator.

-Start up the refrigerator.

-Allow the refrigerator to cool down.

-Return all food to the refrigerator.

Cleaning

A good time to clean the refrigerator is just after you defrost it. Clean the inside of the refrigerator as often as necessary to avoid food odors:

- Remove all food from the refrigerator.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because they can damage the interior of the refrigerator.

-Wash the interior with a mild cleaner or a solution of liquid dish detergent and warm water.

-Rinse with a solution of baking soda and clean water.

-Dry with clean cloth.

-Put all food in the refrigerator.

Door Sealing

Check the seal of the doors (See Art00980).

If either door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect inside the refrigerator. Make sure the doors seal correctly:

-Close each door on a piece of paper that is about the size and thickness of a dollar bill.

-Gently pull the paper.

-You should feel a slight drag between the gasket and the cabinet.

-Do this on all four sides of the door.

-If you do not feel a slight drag on the paper, the door does not seal correctly.

-Have your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center correct the seal of the door.

Refrigerator Storage

Before the refrigerator is stored for an extended (seasonal) period of time:

-Defrost and clean the interior of the refrigerator.

-Close the doors with the storage latch.

If the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time, before start up:

-Make sure there are no obstructions in the vents, the ventilation air pathway, the burner, the orifice, or the flue area.
