APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
switch to the new operating mode until the
MODE button is released.
Backup Operating System ("BOS")
Your refrigerator features a Backup Operat-
ing System which keeps the refrigerator cool in
the event of a failure of the refrigerator's operat-
ing controls. If a failure occurs, the TEMP SET
LED flashes and refrigerator switches to the
BOS mode. This mode provides refrigeration
until the refrigerator is serviced. The fresh food
and freezer compartment temperatures should be
monitored to prevent over-freezing or thawing of
refrigerator contents when operating in the BOS
mode. If the refrigerator temperature is too cold,
adjust the thermostat to the left in single LED
increments. If the refrigerator temperature is too
warm, adjust the thermostat to the right in single
LED increments. Let the refrigerator operate at
the new setting for one hour before rechecking
the freezer and fresh food compartment tempera-
tures. (Frequent door opening prevents the tem-
peratures from stabilizing.) Although the
refrigerator can operate in this mode, Norcold
recommends that you seek service to restore
manual operation as soon as practical.
Operating Tips
· The refrigerator should already be cold be-
fore placing items in it.
· Food and beverages should also be cold be-
fore placing in RV refrigerator. Never put
warm or hot items in a cold refrigerator.
· Do not pack the refrigerator too full. The re-
frigerator needs room for cold air to circulate.
· Use smaller containers for each item. (e.g. a
half gallon container of milk instead of a half-
full gallon jug)
· Always put foods, especially liquids, in tight-
ly sealed containers.
· Use crumpled paper between loose items to
reduce rattling or "clinking" noises.

WARNING
Most LP gas appliances used in recre-
ational vehicles are vented to the out-
side of the vehicle. When parked
close to a gasoline pump, it is possi-
ble that the gasoline fumes could
enter this type of appliance and ignite
from the burner flame, CAUSING A
FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, it is recom-
mended that all LP gas appliances
which are vented to the outside
should be shut off when refueling.
How to Use the Refrigerator
Food Storage Compartment
The food storage compartment is completely
closed and unventilated, which is necessary to
maintain the required low temperature for food
storage. Consequently, foods having a strong
odor or those that absorb odors easily should be
covered. Vegetables, salads, etc. should be cov-
ered to retain their crispness. The coldest posi-
tions in the refrigerator are under the cooling
fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The
warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This
should be considered when placing different
types of food in the refrigerator.
When the refrigerator is heavily loaded, it
will take a longer time to lower the temperature;
therefore, to get maximum efficiency the refrig-
erator and food items should be pre-cooled prior
to loading. The shelves should not be covered
with paper or plastic, and the food items should
be arranged so air can circulate freely.
Frozen Food Storage Compartment
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should
be placed in the coldest part of the compartment,
which is on the top freezer shelf. Frozen vegeta-
