Propane Gas Control: "LO" is the smallest flame symbol; "MED" is a medium-sized flame;
"HI" is a larger-sized flame. There is a fourth, even larger flame displayed adjacent to a
power off symbol at the furthest clockwise point around the control knob. This is the
setting for turning the propane function "OFF" and is where the knob should be set when
not operating the refrigerator on propane gas.
With a full, or nearly full refrigerator, you may find that the MED setting is a good setting
to start with. Over time, you will determine the best temperature control setting for
proper cooling. That setting will likely be impacted by the outside air temperature.
Norcold clarifies in the owner's manual that, "This is not an automatic gas control. It does
not change the flame from high fire to low fire as with other RV refrigerators. If the cooling
load changes, you must manually change the gas control to maintain the same
temperature inside the refrigerator."

temperature settings are represented by snowflakes (HI – three snowflakes; MED –
two snowflakes; and LO – one snowflake.)

time, you will determine the best temperature setting for proper cooling. That setting
will likely be impacted by the outside air temperature. You may find it helpful to
purchase a small refrigerator thermometer for monitoring the refrigerator
compartment temperature.
START-UP – DC (12-VOLT BATTERY) OPERATION
The sole purpose of operating the refrigerator with a battery is to maintain the
refrigerator compartment temperature when AC or propane gas energy are not available
(i.e., while in transit and towing your camper.) Therefore, the refrigerator should be
