position. This shuts off all DC power to the light
and humidity heater and allows the refrigerator
door to be left open for airing without draining
the battery.
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.

cautions, see the Norcold refrigerator operating
instructions included either inside the refrigerator
or in your Owner InfoCase.
ICE MAKER - Norcold
Some Norcold refrigerators are optionally
equipped with an automatic ice maker system.
The ice maker unit is installed in the freezer
compartment of the refrigerator.
The ice maker does not freeze the ice. The
refrigerator freezer compartment does the actual
freezing of the water. The ice maker simply
senses when the ice is ready, ejects it into the ice
bin, and refills the molds with water for another
ice cycle. When the ice bin is full, the amount of
ice will raise an automatic shutoff arm which
stops the ice maker. Some problems involving
lack of ice production - particularly a lack of
freezing - may be the fault of the refrigerator
rather than the ice maker.

Operating the Ice Maker
1. Connect the coach shoreline to a 110VAC
source and switch the refrigerator to AUTO
(AC electric) mode. The ice maker motor
runs on 110-volt current only.
2. Connect the coach to an external (city water)
source or leave water pump switch on con-
tinuously to provide a constant water supply.
3. Be sure the ice bin is in place and the ice
maker's automatic shut-off arm (wire) is in
the down (automatic) position. If the arm is
up, the ice maker will not operate.

4. Start the refrigerator the day before ice cubes
are needed. When the refrigerator is started
(from room temperature), it is normal to take
as long as 24 hours to become cold enough
to make the first batch of ice cubes.
5. Always discard the first batch of cubes made
in a new ice maker. The new plumbing lines
and connections may cause discolored and
bad tasting ice. The ice maker will make up
to 3 lbs. of ice in 24 hours, if the freezer tem-
perature is 14 F or below.
6. To remove the ice bin, raise the automatic
shut-off arm (off). When returning the ice
