- A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the
wires and/or fuses are not the correct size. Use only
the wire and fuse sizes as written in the “Installation
Manual”.

maintenance of this refrigerator can cause personal
injury, property damage, or both. Have service and

Food compartment:
Start up the refrigerator and let it cool for eight hours before
loading with food. If the refrigerator does not start to cool down
after about two hours, contact your dealer or an authorized
Norcold Service Center.
For the best cooling performance:
- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.
- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the freezer
plates:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.
Freezer compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food
frozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in the
freezer compartment.
NOTE: When making ice, put the ice cube tray directly on the
freezer surface. Do not put other items on the ice cube
tray while the water is freezing. The water freezes
more rapidly if the power switch / thermostat is at the
coldest temperature setting.
