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.

“Start-Up” Procedure Electronic Ignition (battery) 1. To start the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob E to the maximum setting, #4. 2. Turn button G to “Gas” position, then push B button in first and hold, proceed to push in and hold the D button until you see the needle on the flame sensor C moving from the red into the green area.
Page 13
Figure. #5 Thermostat The refrigerator cooling temperature is controlled by a thermostat that can be adjusted by turning knob E to different settings to maintain the desired refrigerator temperature. It also incorporates a safety device which automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out.
How to Use the Refrigerator FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. The coldest areas in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door shelves.
Page 15
RIDGE ECTION Inside the refrigerator compartment, the defrost water runs from a collector channel to a drip tray/cup at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates. If heavy frost has built up on the cooling fins creating a lot of defrost water. Be aware your water reservoir may overflow.
Page 16
Shut Down Procedure A. Turn gas valve knob to the “off” position B. If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the doors left open. The ice tray should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet, also turn off gas at the main supply source.
Chapter Maintenance & Service The user should be aware of service that must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly. Installation must be by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z233.1 and in Canada B149.2 Propane Storage and Handling Code (latest edition).
