-Remove both retainers.

-Pull each shelf forward out of the slot.

-Push each fully into the slot that you wish.

-Install both retainers with the screws.

Interior light:

The interior light is at the top of the fresh food compartment. It comes on when the refrigerator is ON and the door is open. To replace the bulb:

1.Remove the DC power supply wires from the power board at the rear of the refrigerator.

2.Remove the cover [1] by pulling it toward the front of the refrigerator (See Art00988).

3.Remove the light bulb [2] from the holder [3].

NOTE: Use only a GE#214-2 bulb as the replacement bulb. This bulb is available at most retail automotive parts centers.

4.Install the replacement bulb.

5.Install the cover.

6.Connect the DC power supply wires to the power board at the rear of the refrigerator.

Door alarm:

The refrigerator has an alarm to alert you if the fresh food compartment door is not closed. The refrigerator continues to operate, but if the fresh food compartment door is open and the interior light remains on for two minutes:

-An audible alarm starts.

-“dr” appears in the center display.

-The interior light automatically turns off. Close the door to silence the alarm.

Moisture reduction heaters:

The refrigerator has heaters that prevent moisture from forming on the center divider between the two doors of the freezer compartment and on the movable door seal. The heaters operate only when the refrigerator is ON and the DC power is sufficient. The heater in the movable door seal also only operates when the left door of the fresh food compartment is closed.

Temperature control system:

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.

Backup operating system:

This refrigerator has a backup operating system. The backup operating system allows the refrigerator to continue to cool if the temperature sensor of the refrigerator should fail.

If this failure occurs:

-The refrigerator automatically changes to the backup operating system.

-When you push the SET TEMP button, the temperature setting flashes in the center display for ten seconds.

-After the temperature setting flashes, the mode of operation appears in the center display.

-The backup operating system can overfreeze or thaw the contents of the freezer and the fresh food compartment.

-Make sure the temperatures of the freezer and the fresh food compartment are satisfactory.

NOTE: If you open the door(s) too often, the tempera- tures inside the freezer and fresh food compart- ment do not become stable. Allow the refrigera- tor to operate for about one hour after each adjustment change before you examine the contents. The number “9” is the coldest temperature setting.

-If the temperature is too warm, push and hold the SET TEMP button to raise the temperature setting by one number.

-If the temperature is too cold, push and hold the SET TEMP button to lower the temperature setting by one number.

-Have the refrigerator serviced by your dealer or a Norcold authorized Service Center as soon as possible.
