Battery Drain
As indicated, a 12 volt DC source is required for operation on gas to provide features of
automatic ignition. The drain on the battery is very low and has little effect on "battery
run down" unless these switches are left on for long periods of time on a battery with no
means of recharging. The DC voltage should be checked while operating in the DC mode.
The voltage at the refrigerator should never drop below 11.5 volts.
Battery drain should also be considered during times when the refrigerator is stored,
defrosted, or occasions when the door is left open. The humidity heater, if left on, draws
240 milliamps. Because of this small drain, the NORMAL-STORAGE-HIGH HUMIDITY
switch should be set to the STORAGE position.
Except for DC operation (three-way models) it is evident that the 12 volt DC demand is
quite low; nevertheless, the refrigerator should not be operated for long periods of time
from a battery only, without a means of recharging through the alternator or converter.
Controls
CAUTION: Never allow water to be sprayed directly on electrical controls located
behind the inlet vent door. Electrical damage or fires could result.
1. Be attentive when the outer surface is being hosed down to avoid wetting the
refrigerator controls.
2. The user should be aware that 12-volt DC is required during all operating modes
(AC, GAS, DC).
3. This Norcold refrigerator is equipped with electronic ignition (no pilot flame). It
provides automatic gas ignition on start up, automatic re-ignition in case of flame
blowout and electrical signal to warn of flame failure (red X on annuciator panel).

Door Handles
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening. When closing the door,
push the door toward the refrigerator until you hear a "click" sound. To open the door,
pull the handle away from the refrigerator.
During storage, the storage latch prevents the door from completely closing. Use it to
prevent odors when the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time. To operate
the storage latch, open each door about 1/2 inch and push the storage latch into the cutout
of the strike plate. Do not use the storage latch as a travel latch because the doors will not
be fully closed.
Interior Light
The interior light is at the top of the fresh food compartment. It comes on only 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
