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.
Refrigerator Service Manual
followed by the word
SAFETy AWARENESS
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.
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.
