Safety Instructions
- The storage of flammable materials behind or around the refrigerator creates a fire hazard. Do not use the area
behind the refrigerator to store anything, especially flammable materials (gasoline, cleaning supplies, etc.)
- Do not remove the round ground prong from the AC power cord of the refrigerator or the ice maker (optional). Do not
use a two prong adapter or an extension cord with either AC power cord.
- 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 writtten in the “Installation Manual”.
- Incorrect installation, adjustment, change to, or maintenance of this refrigerator can cause personal injury, property
damage, or both. Have service and maintenance work done by your dealer or by an Norcold authorized service
center.
- Disconnect both the AC and DC power sources before doing any maintenance work on the refrigerator. All service
work on this refrigerator must be done by a qualified service technician.
- Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical components or features.
- When you discard an appliance, remove all doors to prevent accidental entrapment and suffocation.
- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are electrically
conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling system. The
cooling system contains sodium chromate. The breathing of certain chromium compounds can cause cancer. The
cooling system contents can cause severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and burn with an intense flame. Do not
bend, drop, weld, move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- At regular intervals, make sure that the refrigerator flue, the burner, the vent areas, and the ventilation air pathway
between the vents are completely free from any flammable material or blockage. After a period of storage, it is
especially important to check these areas for any flammable material or blockage caused by animals.
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on the
refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant gloves.
