Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, unauthorized or improper servicing and maintenance of this
refrigerator can cause severe personal injury, property damage, or both. All required service and maintenance
must be performed by your dealer or by a Norcold authorized service center.
Propane gas can cause an explosion that can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Use extreme
care when working with or near a propane gas system. Do not smoke or create sparks. Do not use an open flame
to check supply piping and fittings for leaks.
Ground the 120 volt AC circuit in compliance with any applicable local, state, or national codes. Never cut or
remove the round grounding prong from the refrigerator's AC power cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter. Do
not use an extension cord.
Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same ampere rating. A circuit overload can result in an electrical
fire if undersized wires or improperly sized fuses are used. To prevent a possible electrical fire, follow Norcold's
wire and fuse size requirements (page 6 of "Installation Requirements") and any applicable state, local, or national
codes.
Protect all wiring from physical damage, vibration, and excessive heat.
