9. TESTING LP GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF

The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the refrigerator is connected to LP gas supply.

To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:

A.Start the refrigerator according to the instructions, with 120 volts AC disconnected. See "Section C. Operation Instructions."

B.Check that the gas flame is lit. In Auto mode, the Auto mode indicator lamp (A) is on. See FIG. 10.

C.Close the manual shutoff valve at the back of the refrigerator. (See FIG. 6)

D.Wait for one minute. The check indicator lamp (B) should now be lit and the gas flame extinguished.

E.Remove cover and open the manual gas valve. Apply a noncorrosive commercial bubble solution to burner jet (see FIG. 6).

F.No bubbles should appear at the opening of the burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a defective gas safety shutoff, and service is required.

G.If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas safety valve is working properly. Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to damage burner jet. Replace cover and turn the main switch (1) OFF and back ON. (See "Section C. Operation Instructions, Item 2. Control Panel"). Normal operation of the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes.

WARNING

DO NOT use a flame to check for leaks.

10. 120 VOLT AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug for protection against shock hazards, and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong recep- tacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. The power cord should be routed to avoid direct contact with the burner cover, flue cover or manual gas shutoff valve knob. The free length of the cord is two feet and therefore recommended that the receptacle be located to the left side of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately six inches from the floor (see FIG. 7). This allows easy access through the vent door.

FIG. 7

11. 12 VOLT DC CONNECTION

This refrigerator model requires a 12 volt DC power source to operate the automatic energy system (even though it is designed to operate on 120 volts AC and gas). The DC lead connections are at terminals located at the rear of the refrigerator. (See FIG. 6). One lead is marked positive (+) and the other negative (–). Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the DC supply.
