WARNING:
- 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
refrigerator AC power cord. Do not use a two prong
adapter or extension cord on the AC power cord.
- A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the
wires and/or fuses are not the correct size. Either use
the wire and fuse sizes as writtten in the “Installation
Manual” or refer to your local codes or the applicable
RVIA Standards for the correct wire and fuse sizes.
- 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.
