A SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RE- SULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY.

Keep the unit and surrounding area clean. Never use the area behind refrigerator for storage; in particular, storing flammable materials (oily rags, paper, aerosol cans, and chemicals.). Stored materials not only present a safety hazard but could block the ventilation to the system.

Provide appropriate fire extinguishers installed in convenient locations. Consult your local fire department for the correct type to use. Do not use foam on electrical fires. Use extinguisher rated by NFPA.

Make sure all fasteners, supports, seals, electrical covers are secure.

LP Gas System

LP gas is highly flammable. Gas connections must be leak tight. Do not smoke, create sparks or use an open flame when checking gas connections. Do not ignore the "rotten egg" smell of gas fumes.

Protect all gas lines from physical damage, vibration, or excessive heat.

Insure that the supply gas pressure is within the tolerance specified on the front cover of this manual. The gas controls are designed for safety. Never tamper with the adjustment or function of the controls other than as directed by the Lighting and Shutdown Instructions. All repairs must be done by a qualified service person.

Exhaust Gases

Proper ventilation to remove exhaust gases is extremely important. These gases, generated in the GAS mode at the rear of the refrigerator, replace the oxygen in the air and in extreme cases can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This manual contains installation instructions to safely remove the exhaust gases and seal the zone from the living area. The installation instructions are certified by Ameri- can Gas Association and Canadian Gas Association and must be followed.

Check the burner for proper flame characteristics at the initial start-up and at least once every year. The information for this check is located in this manual and must be performed by a qualified service person.
