WARNING Hazardous gas! Carbon Monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Inadequate ventilation or
partial blockage of the refrigerator’s flue can result in increased carbon monoxide emissions when operating in
the gas mode. To prevent hazardous levels of Carbon Monoxide, installation must assure complete isolation of
the living space of the R.V., and the burner, burner orifice, and the cooling system’s flue tube must be cleaned at
least once a year and after
all prolonged (seasonal) shut-down periods. Follow Norcold’s Ventilation and
Installation recommendations explicitly and refer to the following cleaning procedures.
Procedure for Cleaning the Cooling System Flue
1. Remove refrigerator from its enclosure.
2. When cool to touch, remove heat deflector cap from flue, remove spiral baffle from flue tube.
3. Using a wire brush or fine emery cloth, clean the spiral flue baffle of debris.
5. Cover burner. Clean inside of flue tube with a flue brush.
6. Re-install spiral flue baffle. Insure spiral flue baffle is securely in place. The spiral flue baffle is required for efficient
cooling while operating in gas mode.
