Safety Test

Gas Device Safety Test

After placing the refrigerator into operation, the gas safety device must be tested. The purpose of the gas safety device is to prevent the escape of unburned gas from the burner if the burner flame is extinguished. While there is a flame present at the burner, turn the refrigerator’s manual shutoff valve to "OFF". Wait 3 minutes and turn the manual shutoff valve to "ON". Follow the Lighting Instructions (do not push the control knob in) and try to ignite the burner. The flame should not ignite. This test confirms that the safety valve is functioning properly.

Burner Flame Inspection

Figure 4

Burner Flame

The efficiency of your refrigerator while operating in the gas mode is dependent upon the correct burner flame. The burner flame provides energy to the refrig- erator’s cooling system.

The burner flame efficiency is a function of a) correct input gas supply pressure, and, b) the burner and burner orifice cleanliness.

After installation, the propane supply line from the main tank to the refrigerator must be tested for leaks and for the correct supply pressure. All tests must be performed by the propane gas supplier or a qualified installer.

A visual inspection check of the burner flame should be made regularly. The flame should be sharp blue with a stable burning appearance (Figure 4). If there is a constant yellow component observed or if the flame appears erratic or unstable, switch the refrigerator to electric or turn the refrigerator "OFF", and contact a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.

120 Volts AC Connection

WARNING

This refrigerator is designed to operate on a 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz grounded circuit. The refrigerator AC power cord is equipped with a three-prong ground- ing plug which must mate with a three-prong grounding receptacle to protect against possible shock hazards. Operating the refrigerator without proper ground can cause property damage, severe personal injury, or loss of life.

It is the owner/installer’s personal responsibility and obligation to provide a properly grounded circuit to the refrigerator in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the refrigerator’s AC power cord.

The refrigerator’s AC electrical circuit is protected by a 5 amp fuse. The fuse is located at the rear of the refrigerator to the right of the AC power cord.

The free length of AC power cord is 72 inches. It is recommended that the three-prong grounded recepta- cle be located within reach of the cord. The cord must be routed so as not to come in contact with the burner, flue pipe, or any other component that could cause damage to the cord.
