6.Technicaldescription
Beforegoingintothesubjeels of maintenanceand
koubleshootiag,we wouldliketoprovidea brief
descriptiononlhe fu_lional unitsofthe gas equipment,
whichwillmakefor a better understandingofthese items.
6.1 The gas equipment (Fig. D)
The gasconnector(D14) isconnectedto a manualshut
offvalve (D13),normally"to be left open(handtein
alignmenlwithlhe gasflow).
Thevalve(D13) isconnectedto the combinationcontrol
valve(seefollowingitem) by a union(D15).
If the Refrigeratoristo be remoeedfor maintenanceor the
like,closethevalve and uncoupletheunion.The valvewill
keepthe endoftheconnectorsealed,thus maintaining

prevenlinglurther amountsof unbumtgasfrom

To tightIha burner, it is necessary to keep the gas supply
open manually, by depressing (G3), until the flame
ignite& Within 3 to 4 seconds,the frame will heat the
thermocouple (H1) enough Io bold the gas passage
open.
