APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
service center. A different mode of operation
may be selected by pressing and holding the
MODE button. The refrigerator will not switch
to the new operating mode until the MODE but-
ton 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 refrigerator
will display Diagnostic Code C5 and will switch
automatically to the BOS mode. This mode pro-
vides refrigeration until the refrigerator is ser-
viced. 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 refriger-
ator temperature is too cold, adjust the thermo-
stat up (warmer) in one bar increments. If the
refrigerator temperature is too warm, adjust the
thermostat down (colder) in one bar increments.
Let the refrigerator operate at the new setting for
one hour before rechecking the freezer and fresh
food compartment temperatures. (Frequent door
opening prevents the temperatures from stabiliz-
ing.) Although the refrigerator can operate in
this mode, Norcold recommends that you seek
service to restore normal operation as soon as
practical.
Humidity - Storage Switch
Turning this switch to HIGH HUMIDITY will
keep the surface between the door openings dry
during high humidity conditions. The switch
should be left in the NORMAL OPERATION
position unless moisture collects around the door.
When storing your RV for the winter, place
this switch in the STORAGE (LIGHT OFF)
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.
8-4
· 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
For further information and operating
cautions, see the Norcold refrigerator operating
instructions included either inside the refrigerator
or in your Owner InfoCase.
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.
