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.

Attention Statements

The safety alert symbol
WARNING or CAUTION identifies potential safety
hazards or conditions.

Safety Statements

!
Do not modify, alter, or equip the refrigerator to the
use of any other fuel (natural gas, butane, etc.). 1200
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
1200XX/120X-IMXX 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.

SAFETY AWARENESS

The safety alert symbol with the appropriate heading
appears on all safety labels posted on the refrigerator
and safety awareness notices presented throughout
this manual.
!
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 1200XX/120X-IMXX 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.
