  • Page 11: General Operating Instructions

    Chapter General Operating Instructions Importance of Leveling a Refrigerator The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position in both directions. In an absorption refrigeration system, ammonia is liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.

  • Page 14: How To Use The Refrigerator

    The setting of the thermostat is critical and recommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the cooling fins (approx 38 Freinhight or 3 Celsius). Adjust the thermostat knob closer to “Max” (clockwise) when the outside temperature rises. NOTE: When first turning refrigerator on, move refrigerator controls to maximum, which is the recommended initial setting.
