Installation and Owner’s Guide 13
Install the Refrigerator
1. Put the refrigerator into the front of the enclosure.
2. Push it in far enough to connect the propane gas supply
line to the manual shutoff valve located on the top of the
refrigerator.
3. Connect the 12 volt DC supply to the terminal block located
on the top of the refrigerator.
4. Connect the AC power cord to a grounded receptacle.
5. Put an “O” ring onto the end of each exible pipe.
6. Bend each exible pipe so that it does not contact the top of
the enclosure.
7. Put the exible exhaust pipe (insulated) into the lower hole of
the vent housing.
8. Put the exible air intake pipe (not insulated) into the upper
hole of the vent housing.
9. Securely attach each exible pipe to the vent housing with a
washer and screw.
10. Push the refrigerator completely into the enclosure.
11. Put screws through the mounting holes at the front of
the refrigerator to securely fasten the refrigerator into the
enclosure.
This refrigerator operates on propane gas at a pressure of 11
inches Water Column Propane.
Connect the propane gas supply system:
WARNING: Be very careful when working on or near the
propane gas system.
- Do not smoke, or use an open ame near the propane
gas system.
- Do not use an open ame to examine for leaks.
- Do not connect the refrigerator to the propane gas tank
without a pressure regulator between them.
- To avoid possible propane gas leaks, always use two
wrenches to tighten or loosen the gas supply line
connections.
- Leaking propane gas can ignite or explode and result in
dangerous personal injury or death.
Connect the gas supply line to the refrigerator:
- Make sure all tubing and ttings obey all local, state, and
national codes about size and type.
- Make sure that all exible metal connectors obey the current
CAN 1-6.10 Standard.
- Make sure that the materials used for the gas supply line
obey both the current ANSI A 119.2 (NFPA 1192) and
CSA Z240 Standards on Recreational Vehicles. Norcold
recommends the use of 3/8 inch copper tubing as the gas
supply line and requires a 3/8 inch SAE (UNF 5/8-18) male
are tting as the connection to the refrigerator.
- Put the propane gas supply line up through the oor of the
enclosure.
- Make sure the hole through the oor is large enough to allow
clearance for the gas supply line.
- Put a weather resistant seal (grommets, sealant, etc.) around
the gas supply line where it goes through the oor to prevent
vibration and abrasion.
- To prevent vibration and abrasion, make sure that the gas
supply line is not against anything in the enclosure.
- Attach the gas supply line to the bulkhead tting of the
refrigerator.
Connect the Propane Gas Components
Examine the propane gas supply system for leaks:
WARNING: Do not allow the leak detecting solution
to touch the electrical components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,
electrical shorts and in some cases, re.
Use a leak detecting solution to examine the gas supply line and
all propane gas connections for leaks.
If you use compressed air for the test:
- The pressure at the gas control of the refrigerator must not
be more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column).
- If the air pressure is more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water
Column), remove the gas supply line from the bulkhead
tting of the refrigerator before the test.
- If the air pressure is equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14 inches
Water Column), turn the gas control to OFF before the test.
