Operation During Travel; Food Compartment; Freezer Compartment; Door Handles - Norcold 2117x series Owner's Manual

Operation during travel:

While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is stopped, performance
during travel is not usually effected.

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:
- Do not position food items so that they cause a blockage of the openings
at the sides and the rear of the shelves. The openings allow air to circulate
freely inside the compartment.
- 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 compartment:

The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze
food.

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 Art0812).
Movable door seal:
The movable door seal [134] is located on the left door of the fresh food
compartment (See Art0813). 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 and beverage bin:

The crispers are located at the bottom 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 crisper covers open as the crispers open
and close as the crispers close.
Each crisper also has an adjustable vent that is used to adjust
the humidity inside each crisper. Move each vent toward the
right (high humidity) for most vegetables or toward the left (low
humidity) for most fruits (See Art01834).
