Safety Instructions

WARNING:

-This refrigerator is not approved for use as a free standing refrigerator. It is equipped for the use of propane gas only and can not be changed to use any other fuels (natural gas, butane, etc.).

- Incorrect installation, adjustment, alteration, or mainte- nance of this refrigerator can cause personal injury, property damage, or both.

-Obey the instructions in this manual to install intake and exhaust vents.

-Do not install the refrigerator directly on carpet. Put the refrigerator on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the refrigerator.

-Propane gas can ignite and cause an explosion that can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Do not smoke or create sparks. Do not use an open flame to examine the propane gas supply line for leaks. Always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen the propane gas supply line connections.

-Make sure the electrical installation obeys all applicable codes. See “Certification and Code Requirements” section.

-Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical components or features.

-Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are electri- cally conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.

-The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling system.

-The cooling system contains sodium chromate. The breathing of certain chromium compounds can cause cancer. The cooling system contents can cause severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and burn with an intense flame. Do not bend, drop, weld, move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.

CAUTION:

-The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on the refrigerator, use caution and wear cut resistant gloves.
