interior of the refrigerator.

dish detergent and warm water.

Cleaning
Door Sealing
Check the seal of the doors (See Art00980).
If either door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect
inside the refrigerator. Make sure the doors seal correctly:
- Close each door on a piece of paper that is about the size
and thickness of a dollar bill.
- Gently pull the paper.
- You should feel a slight drag between the gasket and
the cabinet.
- Do this on all four sides of the door.
- If you do not feel a slight drag on the
paper, the door does not seal correctly.
- Have your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service
Center correct the seal of the door.
- Rinse with clean water.
- Dry with clean cloth.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or
scouring pads because they can damage the
metal doors.
Refrigerator Storage
Before the refrigerator is stored for an extended (seasonal)
period of time:
- Defrost and clean the interior of the refrigerator.
- Close the doors with the storage latch.
If the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time, before
start up:
- Make sure there are no obstructions in the vents, the
ventilation air pathway, or the flue area.
