Operation During Travel; Food Compartment; Freezer Compartment; Door Handles - Norcold 2118X Series Owner's Manual

Operation during travel:

While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is stopped, performance
during travel is not usually effected.

Food compartment:

Start up the refrigerator (see "Operating the Refrigerator Controls")and let it cool
for eight hours before loading with food. If the refrigerator does not start to cool
down after about two hours, contact your dealer or a Norcold authorized service
center.
For the best cooling performance:
- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.
- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling fins:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.

Freezer compartment:

The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze
food.

Door handles:

During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening. When closing each door, push
the door toward the refrigerator until you hear a "click" sound.
To open each door, pull the handle away from the refrigerator (See Art02494).
Movable door seal:
The movable door seal [134] is located on the left door of the fresh food
compartment (See Art0813). It provides the correct seal when both doors of
the fresh food compartment are closed. When the left door of the fresh food
compartment opens, the movable door seal moves so that it is flat against
the edge of the door. To avoid possible damage to the movable door seal,
make sure that it is flat against the edge of the door before you close the
door

Crispers and beverage bin:

The crispers are located at the bottom of the fresh food compartment and supply a
storage area to preserve fruit and vegetable freshness. Make sure that you always
push the crispers fully in. The crisper covers open as the crispers open and close as
the crispers close.
Each crisper also has an adjustable vent that is used to adjust the humidity inside
each crisper. Move each vent toward the right (high humidity) for most vegetables or
toward the left (low humidity) for most fruits (See Art01834).
