Ignition and Start Up

Before ignition or start up of the refrigerator:

-Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent, through the refrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper exhaust vent is not blocked or decreased.

-Make sure there are no combustible materials in or around the refrigerator.

NOTE: If the gas does not ignite in 30 seconds, the gas safety valve of the refrigerator automatically closes and the controls either select a different energy source and “no” “FL” appears in the center display or the controls change to Stand By Mode (See Art01333).

In Stand By Mode, an audible alarm starts and the code “no” “FL” appears in the center display. This means that the gas did not ignite.

If the gas does not ignite after several attempts, refer to the “Fault Codes” section of this manual.

Ignition and start up in Automatic Mode:

1.Push the ON/OFF button [1] to start the refrigerator.

2.Push the MODE button [2] until “AU” appears in center display [4].

3.Push the SET TEMP button [3] as needed to set the thermo- stat at “4-6” temperature setting.

-If “AU” “AC” appears in the center display, it means that:

-120 volt AC power is available to the refrigerator.

-The refrigerator is operating on AC electric power.

-After ten seconds, the “AU” “AC” goes off and only a green dot “.” remains to show that the refrigerator is operating.

-If “AU” “LP” appears in the center display, it means that:

-120 volt AC power is not available to the refrigerator.

-The refrigerator is operating on propane gas.

-After ten seconds, the “AU” “LP” goes off and only a green dot “.” remains to show that the refrigerator is operating.

Ignition and start up in Manual Mode:

1.Push the ON/OFF button [1] to start the refrigerator.

2.Push the MODE button [2] until “LP” shows in the center display [4].

3.Push the SET TEMP button [3] to set the thermostat at “4-6” temperature setting.

4.The “LP” remains until you select a different operating mode or shut down the refrigerator.

Do a test of the gas safety valve:

1.Start up the refrigerator in the manual mode operation.

2.Open the lower intake vent.

3.Remove one wire from the solenoid of the gas safety valve at the rear of the refrigerator.

4.Within 30 seconds, the flame should extinguish. This means that the gas safety valve is operating correctly.

5.Put the wire back on the solenoid of the gas safety valve.

6.Close the lower intake vent.
