Owner’s Manual 9

Before the refrigerator is stored for an extended (seasonal)
period of time:

-  Defrost and clean the interior of the refrigerator.

-  Close the doors with the storage latch.

If the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time, before
start up:

-  Make sure there are no obstructions in the vents, the

ventilation air pathway, the burner, the orifice, or the flue
area.

While in GAS operation, examine the appearance of the gas
flame:

-  Turn the temperature switch to the COLDEST position.

-  Open the lower intake vent.

  The burner box cover can be hot.  Wear

gloves to avoid burns.

- Remove the burner box cover by removing the screw.

-  Look at the gas flame [1] (See Art01605).

-  The flame should be:

 -  a darker blue color on the inside of the flame and

a lighter blue color on the outside of the flame.

-  a constant shape without flickering.

-  Contact your dealer or Norcold authorized service

center if the flame is:

-  yellow

- flickering or changing shape.

-  Make sure the flame does not touch the inside of the

flue tube [2].

-  If the flame touches the inside of the flue tube, contact

your dealer or Norcold authorized service center.

-  Close the burner box door.

Your dealer or Norcold authorized service center must do this
procedure.

Remove and clean the burner orifice (See Art00956):

-  Close the valve at the propane gas tank(s).

-  Push the selector switch to the OFF position to shut down

the refrigerator.

  The burner box cover can be hot.  Wear

gloves to avoid burns.

-  Open the lower intake vent.

  To avoid possible propane gas leaks,

always use two wrenches to loosen and tighten the
gas supply line connections.

-  Remove the flare nut from the orifice assembly [1] (See

Art00956).

-  Remove the burner [2] from the orifice assembly.

  Do not try to remove the orifice [3] from the

orifice adapter [4] when cleaning.  Removal will
damage the orifice and seal of the orifice and can
cause a propane gas leak.  Leaking propane gas can
ignite or explode which can result in dangerous
personal injury or death.  Do not clean the orifice with a
pin or other objects.

-  Make sure the propane gas pressure is 11 inches of water

column.

-  Adjust if needed.

-  Make sure the combustion seal is complete and intact.

-  Replace or repair it if needed.

-  Make sure the burner and the burner orifice are clean.

-  Clean if needed.

-  Make sure the electrode spark gap is 1/8  - 3/16 inch.

- Adjust if needed.

-  Make sure the AC voltage is 108 - 132 volts and the DC

voltage is 10.5 - 15.4 volts.

-  Make sure the thermocouple tip is clean and secure.

-  Make sure the area at the rear of the refrigerator is free of

any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
