Leveling the Refrigerator
The refrigerator has a moisture reduction device lo- |
| 1 3/8" Wrench |
cated in the divider panel. This device will inhibit mois- |
|
|
ture from accumulating on the divider panel between |
|
|
the refrigerator and freezer doors. To insure proper |
|
|
operation of the refrigerator and the moisture reduction |
|
|
device, the refrigerator must be level. |
|
|
The refrigerator is equipped with leveling feet. Using |
| Wrench fits on head |
a bubble level placed on the floor of the freezer, adjust |
| |
| of leveling screw. | |
the leveling feet to obtain proper leveling. To raise the |
| |
refrigerator, turn screw of leveling feet clockwise. To |
|
|
lower the refrigerator, turn screw of leveling feet coun- | Leveling Screw | Figure 2 |
terclockwise. See Figure 2. |

Gas Connection
Install a pressure regulator between the main gas supply tank and the refrigerator to maintain the supply pressure of 11 inches water column. Do not connect the refrigerator directly to the main gas supply without a pressure regulator in line.
Use gas supply tubing and fittings that comply with local, state, and national codes. We recommend that the gas be supplied by 3/8 inch diameter copper piping to prevent gas pressure loss to the refrigerator. The gas connection at the rear of the refrigerator is a 3/8 inch SAE (UNF 5/8
The gas piping should be routed to limit the possibility of damage. It is recommended that the supply piping enter directly at the rear of the refrigerator through the floor which supports the refrigerator. The hole through which the gas piping enters should be of sufficient size (approximately 1/2" in diameter) to provide adequate clearance. Once the gas piping is installed, apply a sealant around the piping at its point of entry to minimize abrasion and to serve as a barrier from external moisture.
Provide an adequate length of gas supply tubing for connecting the refrigerator to the main gas supply tank. Additional tubing is required at the rear of the refrigerator (Figure 3) to allow the refrigerator to be pulled several feet from the wall for cleaning, maintenance, and
burner flame inspection.
To prevent gas leaks and damage to the gas supply tubing, use two wrenches when con- necting gas fittings, as illustrated in Figure 3.
Leveling
Gas
The propane gas supply tubing must be in- spected and tested for leaks from the refrigerator to the main gas supply tank. Do not test for leaks with an open flame. Testing of the gas supply piping and measurement of input gas pressure must be performed by a qualified installer, serv- ice agency, or gas supplier.
Check gas pressure to the refrigerator without other gas appliances operating. The pressure should not exceed 11 inches water column. With other gas appliances operating the pressure should not be less than 10.5 inches water column.
The refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the main gas supply during testing at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14 inches water column).
The refrigerator must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14 inches water column).
