INSTALLATION For best performance at high ambient temperatures, there must be free air circulation over the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator. Ensure that there is a free air space above the refrigerator and that the flue (chimney) on top of the cabinet is not covered in any way.

INSTALLATION • Fig. #1 - This is ideal as both top and sides are open • Fig. #2 – During hot/humid weather this confined area will become very warm. To reduce heat build-up, we recommend providing an area for two air vents to circulate the air. One placed 6” off the floor and the other at or above the appliance top.
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.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 110V OPERATION 1. Ensure the electrical cord is plugged into a grounded outlet 2. Turn the selector switch G to AC position, AC power indicator F will illuminate 3. To start the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob E to the maximum setting. 4.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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.

MAINTENANCE AND 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).
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE The LP gas pressure should be checked and the main regulator readjusted if pressure is incorrect. The correct operating pressure is 11” W.C. (water column).

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS NOTE: Due to the nature of a gas operated absorption fridge, temperatures in the fridge compartment will drop to freezing even on the lowest setting when the ambient temperature surrounding the fridge drops to or below 60° F/ 15.0° C overnight and will freeze your food or drink products. An absorption fridge is always cooling when operating, as the ambient drops surrounding the appliance so does the temperature inside the fridge.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS Meat • Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur. FROZEN FOOD STORAGE • The freezer compartment should be kept at 8.6°F (-13°C) at a 77°F (25°C ) room ambient •...
