Remove and clean the burner orifice (See Art00956):

-Close the valve at the propane gas tank(s).

-Push the selector switch to the OFF position to shut down the refrigerator.

CAUTION: The burner box cover can be hot. Wear gloves to avoid burns.

-Open the lower intake vent.

WARNING: To avoid possible propane gas leaks, always use two wrenches to loosen and tighten the gas supply line connections.

-Remove the flare nut from the orifice assembly [1] (See Art00956).

-Remove the burner [2] from the orifice assembly.

WARNING: Do not try to remove the orifice [3] from the orifice adapter [4] when cleaning. Removal will damage the orifice and seal of the orifice and can cause a propane gas leak.
