About Your Refrigerator
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR STORAGE OF FRESH FOODS, STORAGE OF FROZEN FOODS, AND
MAKING ICE.
Storage Volume
The model 1082 Free-Standing refrigerator provides 7.5 cubic feet of usable storage volume.
Controls
The Norcold free-standing refrigerator utilizes a single combination control to determine and regulate the mode
of operation (Gas and Electric). The control is operated by two control knobs. The first knob selects the operating
mode and the second controls the thermostat setting. The control consists of a gas shut-off valve, safety valve,
thermostat, and electric interlock. The interlock prevents the possibility of operating on gas and electric at the
same time.
During normal operating conditions, set the thermostat at a mid-range setting. When the refrigerator or freezer
door is opened frequently or the ambient temperature is higher than 90 degrees, set the thermostat to a colder
position.
On initial start up, it is recommended that the refrigerator be empty until the desired temperature is obtained.
Cooling to the desired operating temperature will take from eight to twelve hours, depending upon ambient
temperatures.
Hazardous Vapors. Holding the gas valve (C) in without flame ignition will
cause gas to build-up in the burner area and can result in severe personal
injury, property damage, or death. Do not hold the gas valve in for more than
30 seconds. If the flame is not indicated within this time, turn the mode selector
knob to OFF, wait 2 minutes, and retry. If the flame still will not ignite, shut the
refrigerator off and contact a service repair technician.
