Cleaning the Cooling System and Flue tube
WARNING Carbon Monoxide can be hazardous to your health. Gas appliances may emit excessive Carbon
Monoxide if the refrigerator’s burner, burner orifice, and the flue tube are not regularly cleaned. To prevent Carbon
Monoxide, the burner, burner orifice, and the cooling system’s flue tube must be cleaned at least once a year and
after all prolonged (seasonal) shut-down periods. Refer to the following cleaning procedures and contact a qualified
installer from your dealer.
Before cleaning, put a cloth on the burner to protect it from dirt;
1. Remove the refrigerator from its enclosure.
2. Remove the exhaust pipe extension from the flue.
3. Remove the spiral flue baffle from the flue tube.
4. Using a stiff brush or fine emery cloth, clean the spiral flue baffle of debris.
5. Clean the inside of the flue tube with a flue brush. Inspect burner after cleaning.
6. Re-install the spiral flue baffle. Insure the spiral flue baffle is securely in place. The spiral flue baffle is required for
efficient cooling while operating in the gas mode.
