FREE-STANDING MODEL FOR
FLOOR INSTALLATION ONLY
The room must be well ventilated and not used as a
bedroom.
Further the room should have a window (which can be
opened) or a door to the outside.
For best performance also at high ambient temperatures
there must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit
at the rear of the refrigerator.
Ensure that there is a free space of at least 4 inches (100
mm) above the refrigerator and that the ventilation ope-
ning on the top of the cabinet is not covered in any way.
Do not place the refrigerator in a space where air circu-
lation is restricted.
A clearance of at least 1 inch (25 mm) should be left
between the rear and sides of the refrigerator and the
surrounding walls.
This free-standing refrigerator requires accessibility to
the back for servicing the gas equipment. If allowed by
the Local Authorities, the accessibility can be obtained
by using a certified Flexible Metal Connector of Gas
Hose Assembly which would allow the refrigerator to be
withdrawn without disrupting the gas supply.
However, if the Local Authorities require a rigid gas
supply connector the refrigerator should be located with
sufficient space at the back for servicing or, if located
against a wall, a removable panel of a minimum size of
16" x 20" should be provided in the wall to allow access
to the rear of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position
in both directions.
Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its position.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearances in inches to combustible materials
are:
Top 4"
Side 1"

GAS CONNECTION

Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the
manual gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8"
SAE (UNF 5/8" -18) male flare connection. A backup
wrench must be used when tightening gas supply
fitting. All completed connections should be checked for
leaks with a noncorrosive leak detector.
