OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Norcold 1200-Series Models with Electronic
Auto Mode Control
The control panel is located between the freez-
er compartment and fresh food compartment. It
contains pressure sensitive touch switches and a
digital display. A backlight illuminates the dis-
play for 10 seconds whenever any of the control
buttons is pressed.
The ON/OFF button turns the refrigerator on
or off. If the button is pressed, it will turn the
refrigerator on and set the mode to auto. When
the refrigerator is on, pressing this button for 2
seconds will turn the refrigerator off.
Pressing and holding the MODE button
allows the user to cycle through the three mode
choices; one AUTO and two manual modes
(AC, LP GAS). The refrigerator will not switch
to the new operating mode until the mode button
is released.
The TEMP SET (thermostat) button controls
the refrigerator and freezer temperature during
both gas and electric operation, eliminating the
need to reset each time a different power source
is selected. Press and hold the TEMP SET button
to select the desired temperature setting. The
temperature settings are shown in the form of a
number (A) in the display window, with the
highest number indicating the coldest setting.
Start-Up Instructions - Auto Mode
When the AUTO mode is selected, the oper-
ating control automatically selects the power
source using the following priority scheme:
8-2
•
First, the auto mode system will 'seek' to
find AC power available. At this time 'AU'
will appear in the display window.
•
When 120 volts AC is available to the refrig-
erator, 'AC' will appear in the display panel,
indicating the refrigerator is operating on AC
electric.
•
If 120 volts AC is not available, the refriger-
ator will switch to the gas operation, and
'LP' will appear in the display panel.
During operation in the AUTO mode, when
a higher priority power source becomes avail-
able, the operating controls will cease using the
current power source and will switch to the
higher priority power source. For example, if
AC electric becomes available while the refrig-
erator is operating in the AUTO LP GAS mode,
the refrigerator will switch to AUTO AC opera-
tion.
If an operating mode is not functional, a
diagnostic code will appear and the refrigerator
will attempt to operate in a lower power priority
source. If a lower power priority source is not
available, an alarm will sound and the refrigera-
tor will cease operation. Refer to the Diagnostic
Codes and Their Meaning for corrective actions.
Start-Up Instructions - Manual Mode
To operate in the MANUAL mode, press and
hold the MODE button until AUTO disappears
and the desired operating mode is displayed. If
the power source is interrupted while operating
in the MANUAL mode, a diagnostic code will
