Norcold 3163 - Description of Controls; Lighting and Start-Up Instructions; Gas Operation Procedure

Securing the Refrigerator
The refri
g
erator can be secured into the enclosure b
y
screws throu
g
h the mountin
g
holes provided at the front
of the refri
g
erator. This will prevent the refri
g
erator from
movin
g
in transit.
Hypot Tests
A Dielectric Stren
g
th test
(
H
y
pot
)
has been conducted
at the factor
y
and the refri
g
erator does not re
q
uire an
additional test. If H
y
pot tests are to be conducted on
the 12 volt circuit, the 12 volts must be disconnected
from the refri
g
erator to protect the flame i
g
nition circuit.
Location of Operating Controls
The refri
g
erators operatin
g
controls are located in a
cluster above the refri
g
erator door.
Description of Controls
(A) Safety Valve
The safet
y
valve is desi
g
ned so that an
y
loss of
flame will stop
g
as flow to the burner. It is controlled
b
y
means of a thermocouple that is positioned in the
flame. As lon
g
as a flame is detected b
y
thermocou-
ple, the valve will remain open. Upon flame failure,
the valve closes, shuttin
g
off
g
as flow to burner.
Durin
g
g
as i
g
nition process, the safet
y
valve button
must be held in until a flame is established at burner.
(B) Thermostat
The thermostat controls both the
g
as and the AC
electric operations, thereb
y
eliminatin
g
the necessit
y
of
resettin
g
each time a different power source is se-
lected. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to make
refri
g
erator cabinet colder.
(C) 120 Volts AC Operation
Pressin
g
button
(
C
)
selects AC mode of operation.
When AC mode is selected and AC volta
g
e is supplied
to refri
g
erator, the refri
g
erator will operate on 120 volts
AC.
(D) 12 Volts DC Operation
Pressin
g
button
(
D
)
selects DC mode of operation.
When DC is selected and DC is available to refri
g
erator,
the refri
g
erator will operate at full coolin
g
power. The
DC operation is a continuous run
(
no thermostat con-
trol
)
mode.
(E) Gas Operation
Pressin
g
button
(
E
)
selects Gas mode of operation.
The refri
g
erator is e
q
uipped with electronic i
g
nition.
When
g
as mode is selected, the electronic i
g
nition
is ener
g
ized and sparkin
g
is
g
enerated at burner
(
Note: Push safet
y
valve button in and hold until
flame is present at burner
)
. Sparkin
g
will continue
until a flame is present at burner. When a flame is
sensed b
y
the electronic i
g
nition module, the
sparkin
g
ceases and flame indicator
(
G
)
illumi-
nates indicatin
g
refri
g
erator is operatin
g
on
g
as.
(F) Off
Pressin
g
button
(
F
)
will interrupt all power sources and
cease operation of refri
g
erator.
Lighting and Start-Up Instructions
The Li
g
htin
g
and Start-Up Instructions are located on
the top portion of the interior door liner.
Refer to Fi
g
ure 5 for location of the operatin
g
controls.
Notice: When warm humid weather conditions are ob-
served, operate the refrigerator on either AC or
DC electric for a minimum of five (5) minutes
before attempting to follow the Start-Up Instruc-
tions for Gas operation.
Gas Operation
Do not hold gas valve in more than 30 seconds. If the
flame is not indicated within this time, press selector
switch (F), wait 2 minutes, and retry. Continuing to hold
the gas valve in will cause gas to build up in the burner
area and can result in an explosion which can cause
property damage or severe personal injury.
1. Set thermostat
(
B
)
to the start settin
g
.
2. Press mode selector button
(
E
)
. I
g
nition spark
will be present at the burner.
3. Push and hold the safet
y
valve button
(
A
)
until
the indicator lamp
(
G
)
g
lows stead
y
. Continue
to hold the safet
