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:

-Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.

-Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.

To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling fins:

-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 compartments:

The freezer compartments are made to keep pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze food.

NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermo- stat is at the COLDEST position.

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 Art00990).

During storage, the storage latch prevents the door from completely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigera- tor is stored for an extended period of time.

To operate the storage latch (see Art00991), open each door about 1/2 inch, hold the door handle in the open position, and push the storage latch [1] into the cutout [2] of the strike plate. Do not use the storage latch as a travel latch because the doors will not be fully closed.

Movable door seal:

The movable door seal [1] is located on the left door of the fresh food compartment (See Art01109). 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:

The crispers are located at the bottom left side 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 glass crisper covers are made so that you can remove them.

NOTE: Do not wash the crispers in a dishwasher. The crispers are not dishwasher safe.

To remove the glass crisper covers [1] (See Art1118):

-Remove the crispers [2].

-Remove the screw from the top right side of the crisper support wall [3].

-Remove the screws [4] from the retainer [5] on the left side of the refrigerator (See Art00992).

-Remove the retainer.

-Remove the glass crisper covers.

-Remove the crisper support wall.

Tall bottle and gallon storage drawer:

The tall bottle and gallon storage drawer [6] is located at the bottom right side of the fresh food compartment and supplies a storage area for items such as 2-liter bottles or gallon milk containers (See Art1118). This drawer has a divider which prevents items from moving and/or overturning while the vehicle is in transit. Make sure that you always push the drawer fully in.

The divider fits down into grooves on the inside of the drawer. The divider also fits at the rear of the drawer so that you can use all of the capacity of the drawer.

NOTE: Do not wash the drawer or divider in a dishwasher. The drawer and divider are not dishwasher safe.

Door bins:

You may put the door bins [1] of the freezer and fresh food compartment in a location that best meets your needs (See Art01114). To remove the bins, lift them over the locator and pull them forward. To install the bins, push them onto the locator.

NOTE: Do not wash the door bins in a dishwasher. The door bins are not dishwasher safe.

Adjustable shelves:

The shelves in the freezer and the fresh food compartment are made so you can remove them or move them.

To remove or move the shelf of the freezer:

-Pull the shelf forward out of the slot.

-Push it fully into the slot that you wish.
