Important Safety Precautions - SUNWIND XC-60 Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before you use your absorption refrigerator, please read this instruction
manual carefully.
NEVER install gas appliances in unventilated (air tight) structures or sleeping
rooms. Gas refrigerators consume air (oxygen) when operated on gas power. When
used in any inside area, provide a fresh air opening of at least 3 square inches
(20mm). Please note that an exterior flue is not required with "vent-less" propane
appliances like gas refrigerators, but you may choose to run an insulated 2 inch
(min) inside diameter vent pipe through the roof (straight up is best) or the wall
(avoid 90 degree bends with 45's spaced more than two feet apart). It is
recommended that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in the same room as
the gas refrigerator.
NEVER install a gas appliance on carpeting or against a flammable wall.
NEVER leave your gas appliances running unattended while on vacation.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this user manual.
This absorption refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used.
Cut off the gas supply before cleaning or before making any repairs.
NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that
a certified technician perform the service.
Do not operate your absorption refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
Do not use the unit in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower or swimming
pool.
Before discarding or storing, we recommend that you remove the door and leave
the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
Do not store food in absorption refrigerator as the interior temperature may not be
cool enough to prevent spoilage.
The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since it contains corroding
chemicals under
high pressure.
Check that the gas supplied to the refrigerator is at the correct pressure. See the
pressure regulator on the LP gas tank.
Never install gas refrigerator designed for residential use in a moving vehicle.
Operation on back-up electrical power is recommended when in motion.
