optimum insulation (A). Fix the upper and lower fl ap of the
combustion seal. Fix the strips to the sides of the refrigerator

FIGURE 12: The refrigerator is installed in the unit using six
screw holes on the sides.
1. Place the refrigerator completely straight in the
unit (when the caravan or motor home is level, the
refrigerator should also be level).
2. Put screws through the holes on the inside of the
refrigerator and screw it through the wall of the
refrigerator into the unit.
3. Place the white caps over the holes.

If the size of the unit is such that the combustion seal fails
to seal properly, use a different kind of sealing to keep
hazardous combustion gases out of the living area of the
caravan or motor home.

6.3 Technical drawings
Technical drawings are available for every type of refrigerator.
These are precise A1 (scale 1:5) drawings stating all relevant
n
measurements of the refrigerator and its surrounding. If
wished for, Norcold is able to send you the technical drawing
of your refrigerator model.

7 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

- A qualifi ed person must install the electrical connection.
- The electrical components must be in accordance with
the latest technical regulations.
- Wiring must be installed so that wires cannot come into
contact with hot or sharp parts.
7.1 Connecting to the mains (120 V)
- Connecting the 120V cable to a properly grounded power
point will increase the safety aspect.
- Make sure the power point is in a position that is easy to
reach.
- Position the 120V power lead in such a way that it cannot
come into contact with hot or sharp parts.
- The mains connection must be fi tted with a 3 A fuse.
WARNING: Connect the AC power cord only to a grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the round ground
prong from the power cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter
or an extension cord. Operation of the refrigerator without
correct ground can cause dangerous electrical shock or
death if you are touching the metal parts of the refrigerator.
Put the AC power cord into a grounded three-prong
receptacle:
- Make sure the receptacle is positioned within easy reach
of the lower intake vent.
- Make sure the power cord does not touch the burner
cover, the fl ue pipe, or any hot component that could
damage the insulation of the power cord.
7.2 Connecting to a DC power supply (12 V)
- Position the 12V power lead so that it cannot come into
contact with hot or sharp parts.
- Voltage drops lead to power loss
- Minimize voltage drops by thoroughly fi xing the wires
and using proper wire thicknesses.
- The diameter of the lead depends on the lead length:
leads up to 4m / 13ft use minimum diameter of 4mm
AWG 12, and for longer leads use minimum diameter of
2
6mm / AWG 10.
- The power supply must be fi tted with a 20 A fuse.
8 CONNECTING THE GAS SYSTEM
- Gas components may be installed only by a qualifi ed
installer. Be sure to use high quality approved parts.
- The gas components must be installed in accordance
with the latest technical regulations.
- Gas pipes or hoses must be fi tted so that they cannot
come into contact with hot or sharp parts.
- Keep fl ammable materials well away from the refrigerator.
- The refrigerator's gas supply must be fi tted with a gas
valve that allows the gas supply to be switched off. The
gas valve must be readily accessible by the user.
- The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
