A green power light illuminates when the refrigerator is “ON”.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat control. Number “1” (“REF”) is the
warmest and number “5” (“FREEZE”) is the coldest thermostat position. For efficient operation,
change the thermostat control according to the types of food stored and the ambient tempera-
ture.

To preserve frozen food, turn the thermostat control knob to the “5” (“FREEZE”) position.
To turn off the refrigerator, turn the thermostat control to the “OFF” position. If you are not going
to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time:
to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time:
- Remove the food from the refrigerator.
- Remove the power plug(s) from the socket.
- Clean and dry the inside of the refrigerator.
- Allow the door to be open a small amount.
Cooling Unit Basics
The cooling unit of your Norcold refrigerator makes heat. This heat must be removed quickly
and efficiently in order for the refrigerator to have its maximum cooling performance. When the
refrigerator is in an enclosed space, the temperature within the space will rise quickly and will
reduce the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Continued operation at high temperatures
can damage the refrigerator compressor and other components.

refrigerator is in an enclosed space, the temperature within the space will rise quickly and will
reduce the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Continued operation at high temperatures
can damage the refrigerator compressor and other components.
A free flow of air (ventilation) through the refrigerator condenser coils and around the
compressor is necessary for the refrigerator to operate correctly. While Norcold refrigerators
are made to operate in more severe conditions than typical household refrigerators, you should
not operate the refrigerator in high ambient temperatures. This will result in poor performance
and possible food spoilage

Convection Basics
When ventilating an enclosed space,
consider the facts of natural convection,
that cool air falls and warm air rises. The
ideal ventilation design will use natural
convection and provide a path for cool
air to enter below the refrigerator and
warmer air to exit above the refrigerator.
The design of the refrigerator allows this
to occur if there is a ventilation opening
above the refrigerator. The heat created
by the refrigerator can then flow freely
out of the enclosed space rather than be
trapped within it.
