When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than
or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated from
the gas supply piping by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and con-
nection to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer
or distributor.

9. TESTING LP GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF

The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the refrigerator
is connected to LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:
REFRIGERATORS WITH PIEZO IGNITOR
(RM2452 & RM2453)
A. Start the refrigerator according to the instructions, and
switch to gas mode. See " Section C. Operation Instruc-
tions, Item 3. Gas Operation ."
B. Check that the gas flame is lit. This can be observed on
flamed indicator (E). (See FIG. 7)

D. Wait for one minute.
E. Remove burner cover plate. (See FIG. 6A). Open the
gas valve by turning knob "A" to position "GAS" without
pushing the buttons "C" and "D". (See FIG. 7). Apply
commercial leak check bubble solution to the burner jet
F. No bubbles should appear at the opening of the burner
jet. The presence of bubbles indicates a defective gas
safety shutoff, and service is required.
G. If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas
safety valve is working properly. Rinse jet thoroughly
with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to
damage burner jet. Replace cover and turn the main
switch OFF and back ON. (See " Section C. Operation
Instructions, Item 2. Control Panel "). Normal operation
of the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate
for a minimum of 5 minutes.
DO NOT use a flame to check for leaks.
