APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
Start-Up Instructions - Manual Mode
To operate the MANUAL mode, press and
hold the MODE button (C) until the AUTO LED
disappears and the desired operating mode is
displayed. If the power source is interrupted
while operating in the MANUAL mode, the
AUTO LED disappears and the desired operat-
ing mode is illuminated. Unlike AUTO mode,
the operating mode LED remains illuminated
until an alternate mode is selected. If the energy
source is interrupted while in the MANUAL
mode, the corresponding LED flashes, and the
refrigerator ceases operation until an alternative
energy source is selected or the problem is cor-
rected. Refer to the "Diagnostics" section on
page 7 of the Norcold Operator's Guide in your
blue binder for corrective actions.
Auto and Manual Modes -
Gas Operation Only
If the gas does not ignite within 30 seconds,
which may occur on initial start-up, the refriger-
ator's gas valve will automatically close and the
operating controls will select an alternate power
source (AUTO Mode) or revert to a stand-by
mode in which the LP GAS LED flashes. The
LED continues to flash until the refrigerator is
turned OFF and then ON. If the gas does not
ignite after several attempts, check the input gas
supply, or consult with your dealer or a Norcold
authorized service center. A different mode of
operation may be selected by pressing and hold-
ing the MODE button. The refrigerator will not
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-
8-4
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.
Further Information

cautions, see the Norcold refrigerator operating
instructions included either inside the refrigerator
or in your Owner InfoCase.
