DO NOT use a hot air blower. Permanent damage could result from warping the metal or plastic parts. DO NOT use a knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to remove frost from the freezer compartment. They can create a leak in the ammonia system.
The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a drip tray/cup at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates.
If heavy frost built up on the freezer plate and the cooling fins, and a lot of defrost water, move the plastic drain tube in to a watertight bucket or container.
As the frost melts, the water will flow into the container. When all the frost has melted wipe up the excess mois- ture and empty the accumulated water from the bucket. Replace the drain tube to its original position.
Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be wiped up with a clean cloth.
When all the frost is melted, dry the interior of the refrigerator with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set the thermostat to “MAX” for a few hours. Then reset the thermostat to its normal position.
CLEANING
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is de- frosted or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice trays and shelves. NEVER use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts as the protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator clean.
SHUT OFF - STORAGE
PROCEDURE
To shut off the refrigerator, turn knob “A” to “OFF” position.
If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the doors left ajar. The ice tray should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
NOTE: To avoid running down the batteries to the interior light during defrosting and storage periods, use a tape to close the light switch or remove the lamp bulb. The batteries can also be removed from the battery box at the rear of the refrigerator.
DO NOT store explosive substances in the refrig- erator, such as cigarette lighter gas, petrol, ether or the like.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
The user should be aware of service that must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly. The service should only be per- formed by a qualified technician who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerators.
1.REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL
Before working on the refrigerator, make sure the AC voltage leads are disconnected. Shut off the gas supply. Disconnect the gas supply line at the rear of the refrigerator. Always use a back up wrench when loosening and tightening this connection. Cap the gas supply line and remove the refrigerator.
Replacement is the reverse of removal. Check all connections for gas leaks.
Refer to section INSTALLATION, page 2 and 3.
2.PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
To keep your refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, periodic inspection and cleaning of several components is recommended once or twice a year.
A.It is important to keep the area at the back of the refrigerator clean. Clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft bristled brush to dust off the coils.
It is important to keep the refrigerator area free from combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids.
NOTE: The following maintenance is required once or twice a year, but should only be done by a qualified serviceman who is familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerators.
B.Check all connections in the LP gas system (at the back of the refrigerator) for gas leaks. The LP gas supply must be turned on. Apply a noncorrosive bubble solution to all LP gas connections. The ap- pearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should be repaired immediately by a QUALIFIED SERVICE-
MAN WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH GAS SYSTEM AND REFRIGERATORS.
DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
C. Check burner flame for proper appearance. The flame should be light blue with no yellow at the tip. See FIG. 4.
LIGHTING
The refrigerator is provided with a battery power interior light.
The battery box is at the rear of the refrigerator. Four batteries, type R20 1.5 volts are to be used.
