Safety Awareness
Read this manual carefully and understand the contents before you install the refrigera-
tor.
Be aware of possible safety hazards when you see the safety alert symbol on the re-
frigerator and in this manual. A signal word follows the safety alert symbol and identies
the danger of the hazard. Carefully read the descriptions of these signal words to fully
know their meanings. They are for your safety.
WARNING: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause
dangerous personal injury, death, or much property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause small
personal injury or much property damage.
Model No. and Serial No.
The model and serial number are on a label which is inside the refrigerator on the
left side and on the cover of this manual.
Operation
This refrigerator is made for refrigerating purposes and operates on 120 volts AC
and 12/24 volts DC power supplies when installed as written in this manual.
NOTE: The refrigerator operates automatically on AC or DC power. When both
power sources are supplied to the refrigerator, it defaults to AC. When
the refrigerator is disconnected from the shoreline power (when AC
power is no longer available), the refrigerator switches to DC operation.
CAUTION: Never store combustible materials near the refrigerator. Storing
combustible materials near the refrigerator creates a safety hazard and also
decreases the ventilation of the cooling system which decreases the refrigerator
performance.
Do not touch the evaporator or other metal parts inside the refrigerator cabinet
with wet hands because they can freeze to the refrigerator.
Always disconnect all power sources from the refrigerator when doing routine
maintenance. Have service work done only by a qualied service technician.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat, located on the panel above
the door. A green power light, located on the panel comes on when the refrigerator is
“ON”. Number “1” is the warmest and number “5” is the coldest thermostat position.
For efcient operation, change the thermostat according to the types of food stored and
the ambient temperature.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, put the ther-
mostat to the “OFF” position (full counterclockwise position).

Over Heating Shut-off Device Operation (DE0240T &
DE0251T)
Operating the refrigerator in high ambient temperatures can over heat the cooling unit and
cause premature failure of the compressor. (See the label inside the refrigerator.)
To protect the cooling unit from over heating, the refrigerator will automatically shut-off
when the vehicle air temperature is higher than approximately 130° F. If shut off occurs,
an audible alarm tone (an intermittent beeping) operates from the refrigerator.
To stop the audible alarm tone and restart the refrigerator, turn the thermostat counterclock-
wise to the “OFF” position and then clockwise to the desired thermostat position.
The refrigerator will not restart until the air temperature is lower than approximately
130° F.
Protection System
Your refrigerator has an over current protection system in the electronic circuit to pre-
vent damage to the inverter which may occur due to a reverse polarity connection.
If the refrigerator does not operate and the green power light does not come on, check
the fuse, which is located on the side of the inverter case, and the polarity of the DC
power supply. If the refrigerator still does not operate, another problem can exist in the
inverter. Have an authorized Norcold Service Center check the refrigerator.
Cleaning and Defrosting
Defrosting
It is normal for frost to collect on the freezer plate inside the refrigerator. Excess frost
decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator as neces-
sary.
CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects, a hair dryer, a heat gun, etc. to defrost
the refrigerator. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.
- Turn the thermostat to “OFF”.
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
NOTE: Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to absorb the excess water.
- Put trays of hot water in the freezer until the frost is melted.

- Empty the drip tray.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the inside of the refrigerator
- Turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
- Put the drip tray and all food in the refrigerator.
Cleaning
A good time to clean the refrigerator is just after you defrost it.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator as often as necessary to avoid food odors:
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because they can
damage the inside of the refrigerator.
- Wash the inside of the refrigerator and the door gasket with a solution of liquid dish
detergent and warm water.
- Rinse with clean water and dry.
- After cleaning, put a thin coating of petroleum jelly on the hinge side of the gasket to
keep it soft and to prevent it from rolling.
Battery Maintenance
Over cooling drains your battery
When the ambient temperature is between 70° and 90° F, keep the thermostat at the “3“
position to avoid an excessive drain of the battery. When making ice, or storing frozen
foods, turn the thermostat to the coldest setting “5“.
Maintain the battery
If the charge of your battery is not sufcient, the cooling performance of your refrigerator
decreases.
CAUTION: Only use a “quick charger” on the battery if the thermostat is turned
to “OFF”.
Check the Battery charge Level
A fully charged battery will have a specic gravity reading of between 1.260 and 1.280. The
battery voltage is best indicated when the refrigerator is “ON” and the battery charging sys-
tem is “OFF”. Charge the battery when the specic gravity reading is less than 1.200.

Installation
The refrigerator should be located and secured on a solid surface in the vehicle.
Before installing the refrigerator into the opening, make sure the DC supply is prop-
erly connected. In many cases, the DC supply can be connected from outside the
vehicle by means of the baggage or access door.
Measure the opening to determine if you have proper clearance for installation. Ad-
ditional insulation space around the refrigerator is not necessary.
For your reference
The wiring diagram shown below is recommended for dual battery hookup (See
Art01516).

Be sure the refrigerator is not in direct sunlight or near a gas stove, a heater, or other
heat-generating appliances. Avoid installing your refrigerator close to warm water
lines or warm air ducts.
Your refrigerator was thoroughly cleaned before shipment from the factory. It is ad-
visable, however, to clean the interior once more before using. Wipe the interior with
a cloth and warm water. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
Ventilation
Sufcient ventilation (airow) over the rear mounted condenser of the refrigerator is
necessary for the refrigerator to operate correctly (See Art01893).
* NOTE: The fan will operate only when the ambient temperature is higher than ap-
proximately 95° F.
CAUTION: Do not remove the
bottom rails from the refrigerator
cabinet. The rails supply space
under the refrigerator that is nec-
essary for correct ventilation.
If you do not make sure that the
ventilation is correct, a short-
ened refrigerator life expectancy,
poor refrigeration, continuous
operation, accelerated battery
discharge and a void warranty
will result.

NOTE: The decorative door panel must
be 4 mm or less in thickness.
1. Remove the door from the refrigera-
tor by removing the two (2) bolts that

Connect the 120 volts AC and 12 volts DC supplies
This refrigerator operates on 120 volts (60 hertz) AC current and 12/24 volts DC current
from a battery.
CAUTION: Only connect the refrigerator directly to the battery. Because they
often generate high voltage pulses and cause transistor defects in the inverter,
no other switches, lead wires, or electrical equipment should share the wiring
between the refrigerator and battery. Do not use an extension cord.
When using either a converter or a battery charger, make sure that they are connected
in parallel between the battery and the refrigerator. Do not use a converter or battery
charger to supply the DC power directly to the refrigerator because these two devices
do not supply ltered DC power (See Art01521).
As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator increases, the correct AWG
wire size also increases. If he wire size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop oc-
curs. The voltage drop decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
1. Norcold recommends that you use the following wire and fuse sizes:
- Measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator:
- If the distance is less than 12 feet, use 16 AWG wire and a 10 Amp fuse.
- If the distance is between 12 and 20 feet, use 14 AWG wire and a 10 Amp fuse.
- If the distance is more than 20 feet, use 12 AWG wire and a 10 Amp fuse.
