STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
D
LP Gas operation
After initial installation, servicing, or changing
gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may
contain some air, which should be allowed to
escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator
or other appliances. This will ensure that the
flame lights immediately.
To start gas operation:
1. Open the shut off valve of the gas bottle
(check that there is enough gas). Open
any on-board shut-off valve.
2. Set the thermostat knob (D) to the
highest setting.
3. Turn the energy selector (A) to position
"GAS". A ticking sound will be heard and
the lamp (B) will start flashing.
4. Press the button (C). This opens the
flame failure device and allows gas to
flow to the burner.
5. When the flame lights, the sparking stops
automatically and the lamp stops
flashing.
6. Keep the knob (C) depressed for another
10-15 seconds to activate the flame
failure device, then release it.
If the lamp starts flashing again, repeat steps
4-6.
To terminate gas operation, turn the knob (A)
to "OFF" position.
