When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than
or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and connec-
tion to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or
distributor.
9. TESTING
LP
SHUTOFF
The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the refrigerator
is connected to LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:
A. Start the refrigerator according to the instructions, and
switch to gas mode. See "Section C. Operation Instruc-
tions."
B. Check that the gas flame is lit.
C. Close the manual shutoff valve at the back of the
refrigerator. (See FIG. 6)
D. Wait for one minute. The check indicator lamp (B) should
now be lit and the gas mode indicator lamp should be off.
E. Remove cover (see FIG. 6) and open the manual gas
valve. Apply a noncorrosive commercial bubble solution
to burner jet (see FIG. 6).
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
F. No bubbles should appear at the opening of the burner jet.
The presence of bubbles indicates a defective gas safety
shutoff, and service is required.
G. If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas
safety valve is working properly. Rinse jet thoroughly
with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to
damage burner jet. Replace cover and turn the main

switch OFF and back ON. (See "Section C. Operation
Instructions, Item 2. Control Panel"). Normal operation of
the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate for

CONNECTION
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounded)
plug for protection against shock hazards, and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong recep-
tacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug. The power cord should be routed to avoid direct contact
with the burner cover, flue cover or manual gas shutoff valve
knob. The free length of the cord is two feet and therefore
recommended that the receptacle be located to the left side
of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately
six inches from the floor (see FIG. 7). This allows easy
access through the vent door.
