Securing the refrigerator
Failure to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in
enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet!
After the refrigerator is put in place, (insuring a combustion
seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the
enclosure with five screws (not included).
The screws have to be installed in the following order:
1.
Four screws installed through the front frame.
2.
One screw installed in rear base.
In the parts bag there are plugs to be snapped in
the front frame to cover the four screw heads.

CONNECTIONS

LP gas connection
The gas installation and servicing must be carried out by an
authorised person and conform to all relevant local authori-
ties.
The refrigerator is not designed for operation on town gas or
natural gas but for operation on LP gas, the pressure of which
must be 2,75 kPa for Propane. Check that this is stated on
the data plate. The gas supply system must incorporate an
approved gas pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure
of 2,75 kPa.
CAUTION
Check that the gas supplied to the refrigerator is at
the correct pressure!
The supply pipe should preferable be of copper. If other ma-
terial is used, it must be of a type approved for use with con-
tinuously operating bottle-gas appliances and have threaded
connections throughout.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2
All connectors etc. should be of a type specifically designed
for the type and diameter of the connection pipe used, and
screwed joints should be sealed with a joining compound ap-
proved for use with bottle-gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas valve at
the top of the refrigerator, by means of a suitable threaded
coupling.
The gas valve is furnished with an ISO 7/1 - Rp 1/8 internal
pipe thread connection.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock
of an approved bottle-gas type must be incorporated in the
supply line in a position which is readily accessible to the
user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be
positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being
readily withdrawn.
All completed connections should be checked for leaks with
soapy water.
!
Do not use an open flame to check for
gas leaks!
Testing LP gas safety shut off
The gas safety shut off must be tested after the refrigerator is
connected to the LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:
1.
Start the refrigerator.
2.
Check that the gas flame is lit which can be ob-
served on the flame indicator E. The red indicator
is in the green field, (ON).
3.
Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to
"OFF" position.
4.
Wait for one minute.
5.
Remove burner cover plate.
6.
Open the gas valve by turning knob A to position
(GAS) without pushing the buttons C and D.
7.
Apply a non-corrosive commercial bubble solution
to the burner jet.
8.
No bubbles should appear at the opening of the
burner jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a de-
fective gas safety shutoff, and service is required.
If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas
safety valve is working properly.
9.
Rinse jet thoroughly with fresh water before pro-
ceeding. Be careful not to damage the burner jet.
10.
Replace cover and turn the main switch OFF and
back ON.
11.
Normal operation of the burner should return.
Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5
minutes.
