Installation Manual 15
When manually (by hand) or mechanically (by hoist , lift truck, etc.) handling
a refrigerator that is not installed in an enclosure, the best method is while the
refigerator is in it’s original packaging.
If the refrigerator is not in its original packaging, use the sides, the edges, and/or
the corners of the refrigerator cabinet as the primary load carrying points.
There are two (2) areas of the cooling unit that may be used as handling points
[122] (See Art01754). These handling points may be used only to tilt or to steady
the refrigerator. When tilting the refrigerator, Norcold recommends that you have a
another person hold the refrigerator cabinet.
CAUTION: Do not lift or drag the refrigerator by using either or both
of the two (2) handling points. Damage to the refrigerator cooling unit
can result.
- Put the refrigerator completely into the enclosure:
- Push below the center of the refrigerator.
- Pull using a wire-form tool hooked into mounting holes [121] of the
refrigerator frame (See Art01753).
WARNING: Make sure the foam combustion seal is not broken, is
completely around the refrigerator mounting flanges, and is between the
mounting flanges and the wall of the enclosure If the seal is not complete, exhaust
fumes can be present in the living area of the vehicle. The breathing of exhaust fumes
can cause dizziness, nausea, or in extreme cases, death.

WARNING: Make sure the combustion seal is not broken, is completely around the
refrigerator mounting flanges, and is between the mounting flanges and the wall of the
enclosure If the seal is not complete, exhaust fumes can be present in the living area of
the vehicle. The breathing of exhaust fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, or in extreme
cases, death.
NOTE: Be careful when you put the refrigerator into position. The refrigerator has vacuum
insulating panels on the top and sides. If punctured, these panels lose insulation value which decreases the cooling
performance of the refrigerator. It is not necessary to remove the protective packaging from the doors of metal door models to
install or operate the refrigerator.
- Make sure that the flue cap is not pushed down against the top of the flue tube.
- Push the refrigerator into the enclosure so the side trim is approximately one inch from the wall.
