Proper ventilation to remove exhaust gases is extremely important. These gases, generated in the GAS mode at the rear of the refrigerator, replace the oxygen in the air and in extreme cases can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This manual contains installation instructions to safely remove the exhaust gases and seal the zone from the living area. -
