Safety Notice

It is not possible to anticipate all of the conceivable
ways or conditions under which the refrigerator may be
serviced or to provide cautions as to all of the possible
hazards that may result. Standard and accepted safety
precautions and equipment should be used when
working on electrical circuits and handling toxic or
flammable materials. Safety goggles and other required
protection should be used during any process that can
cause material to become airborne, such as removing a
leaking cooling unit and cleaning components.

Safety Statements
Do not modify, alter, or equip the refrigerator to the
use of any other fuel (natural gas, butane, etc.). N109X
refrigerators are designed and equipped for the use of
LP gas–propane gas–only.
Incorrect installation, adjustment, alteration, or
maintenance of the refrigerator can cause personal
injury, property damage, or both.
Do not smoke, light fires, or create sparks when
working on the propane gas system.
Do not use an open flame for leak testing any of
the propane gas system components. Propane gas is
highly flammable and explosive.
Always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen LP
gas connections. Damaged connections, piping, and
components create the potential for gas leaks.
All electrical connections and repairs to the
refrigerator must comply with all applicable codes. Refer
to the certification and code requirements section of the
N109X Installation Manual for more information.
Do not work on live electrical circuits. Turn off
AC power and DC power sources before attempting
to remove, service, or repair any of the refrigerator's
electrical or electronic components.
Do not modify, bypass, or eliminate any of the
refrigerator's electrical components, electronic circuits,
or propane gas system components.
Do not wet or spray liquids on or near electrical
connections or electronic components. Most liquids,
including leak detection solutions, are electrically
conductive and pose the potential for an electric shock
hazard, short electrical components, damage electronic
circuits, and/or ignite a fire.

The above heading identifies hazards or conditions,
which if ignored can cause serious injury, death,
and/or extensive property damage.
The above heading identifies hazards, which if
ignored can cause injury and/or property damage.
Do not use leak test solutions that contain
ammonia or chlorine. Ammonia and chlorine degrade
copper and brass components.
the cooling unit is a sealed system under
pressure! Do not try to repair or recharge the cooling
unit. Do not bend, drop, weld, drill, puncture, saw, or
strike the cooling unit.
handle a leaking cooling unit with extreme
caution! The cooling unit contains ammonia, hydrogen,
and sodium chromate. Ammonia can cause severe
skin and eye burns. Hydrogen is highly flammable,
can ignite, and burns with an intense flame. Certain
chromium compounds, such as sodium chromate, are
carcinogenic.
Do not use extension cords. Do not remove
the grounding prong from the refrigerator AC power
cord. Do not use a two prong adapter to connect the
refrigerator to the AC outlet.
Do not over-fuse electrical circuits. Use specified
fuses and AWG wire sizes. The "Specifications" section
of this manual provides fuse size information. Refer to
the N109X Installation Manual for the correct AWG wire
size specifications.
Prevent child entrapment! Before disposing of
the refrigerator, remove all doors and fasten all shelves
with retainers.
Some of the refrigerator's metal components have
sharp corners and edges. Wear hand protection, such
as cut resistant gloves, and exercise extreme care when
handling the refrigerator.
Make sure all hardware, such as hinges and
fasteners (retaining screws, etc.), is properly fastened.
