Overall dimensions in inches and (mm):
Height 63-15/32 (1612)
Width 23-5/16 (592)
Depth 24-1/2 (623)

GAS CONNECTION

Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual
gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF
5/8" -18) male flare connection. A backup wrench must be
used when tightening gas supply fitting. All completed con-
nections should be checked for leaks with a noncorrosive leak
detector.
!
WARNING
EXPLOSION hAZArD. Never use an open
flame to check for gas leaks. Failure to heed this
warning could cause an explosion resulting in
death or severe personal injury.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator
to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water
column.
When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psi, the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test-
ing the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to 1/2
psi, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and connection
to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or distribu-
tor.
INSTALLATION

TESTING LP GAS SAfETy ShUTOff

The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the refrigerator is
connected to the LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

120 V AC Connection
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded threeprong recep-
tacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug. The cord should be routed to avoid direct contact with
the burner cover, flue cover or any other components that could
damage the cord insulation.

REfRIGERATOR REmOVAL

Before working on the refrigerator, make sure the AC voltage
leads are disconnected. Shut off the gas supply. Disconnect the
gas supply line at the rear of the refrigerator. Always use a back
up wrench when loosening and tightening this connection. Cap
the gas supply line and remove the refrigerator. Replacement
is the reverse of removal. Check all connections for gas leaks.

Start the refrigerator according to the instructions for
Gas Operation; section "Operation Instructions".
Check that the gas flame is lit. This can be observed
through the reflector (E).
Close the gas valve by turning the knob (
"OFF" position.
Wait for one minute.
Remove burner cover plate, one screw at the burner.
Open the gas valve by turning the knob (A) to posi-
tion "GAS" without pushing the buttons (C) and
(D). Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solu-
tion to the burner jet.
No bubbles should appear at the opening of the
burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a defec-
tive gas safety shutoff, and service is required.
If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas
safety valve is working properly. Rinse jet thorughly
with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to
damage the burner jet.
Replace the burner cover plate and turn the knob
(A) back to "OFF".
Start the refrigerator by following the instructions
for Gas Operation, section "Operation Instructions".
Normal operation of the burner should return. Allow
the burner to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes.
