Installation Manual 9Ignition - propane gas operation (N400 models):1. Open the valve at the propane gas storage tank.2. Turn the thermostat [1] to the 5 position.3. Turn the selector switch [2] to the propane gas position ( ).4. Push and hold in the safety valve [4] and push in the igniter[3] several times in rapid succession, for about five seconds:WARNING: Do not hold in the safety valve for more than30 seconds. If there is no flame in this time, wait at leastfive minutes before you try ignition again. If you continueto hold in the safety valve, gas will collect in the burnerarea. This could cause a fire or explosion and result indangerous personal injury or death.- When a flame is present and the flame meter [5] movesinto the green area, release the safety valve.- If the flame meter does not move into the green area, dothis step again.5. Turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.Ignition Start Up- Make sure that the materials used for the gas supply lineobey both the current ANSI A 119.2 (NFPA 1192) and CSAZ240 Standards on Recreational Vehicles. Norcoldrecommends the use of 3/8 inch copper tubing as the gassupply line and requires a 3/8 inch SAE (UNF 5/8-18) maleflare fitting as the connection to the refrigerator.- Put the propane gas supply line up through the floor of theenclosure.- Make sure the hole through the floor is large enough toallow clearance for the gas supply line.- Put a weather resistant seal (grommet, sealant, etc.)around the gas supply line where it goes through the floorto prevent vibration and abrasion.- To prevent vibration and abrasion, make sure that the gassupply line is not against anything in the enclosure.- Attach the gas supply line to the bulkhead fiting [2] of therefrigerator (See Art00975).Examine the gas supply system for leaks:WARNING: Do not allow the leak detecting solution totouch the electrical components. Many liquids areelectrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,electrical shorts, and in some cases, fire.Use a leak detecting solution to examine the gas supply lineand all propane gas connections for leaks.If you use compressed air for the test:- The pressure at the manual shut off valve of the refrigeratormust not be more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column).- If the air pressure is more than 1/2 psig (14 inches WaterColumn), remove the gas supply line from the bulkheadfitting of the refrigerator before the test.- If the air pressure is equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14inches Water Column), close the manual shutoff valve ofthe refrigerator before the test.
