N6XX/N8XX gas/electric absorption

refrigerators are certified under the latest edition of
ANSI Z21.19B standards for installation in mobile
homes or recreational vehicles, and with the Canadian
Standards Association CAN/CGA-1.4-M94.

Electrical components are 

 compliant.

Refrigerator installation must conform with the N6XX/
N8XX Installation Manual for the NORCOLD

®

 limited

warranty to be in effect. Installation must also comply
with applicable local codes and standards set by the
cognizant certification agency.

Use only authorized NORCOLD

 replacement parts.

Generic parts do not meet NORCOLD

 specifications

for safety, reliability, and performance. The use of
unauthorized aftermarket or generic replacement parts
voids the refrigerator's limited warranty coverage.
