CLEANING THE FLUE AND BURNER
Maintenance work should be made by a qualied service
man.
Inspect the ue bae. It should be reasonably clean and free
of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning
of the burner.
The ue and burner both require cleaning in the following
manner:
1. Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230-
240 V AC outlet. Disconnect or shut o the 12 V
DC power to the refrigerator.
2. Close the gas valve by turning the knob A to
“OFF”.
3. Remove cover from the burner housing.
4. Disconnect the wire from the high voltage elec-
trode.
5. Remove the burner mounting screw and remove
the burner assembly.
6. Lift out the wire and ue bae from the top of
ue tube.
7. Clean the ue from the top using a ue brush.
Blowing compressed air into the ue will not prop-
erly clean soot and scale out of the ue tube.
8. Replace the ue bae.
9. Clean burner tube with a brush. Blow out burner
with compressed air.
!WARNING
Do not use a wire or pin when cleaning the
burner jet as damage can occur to the preci-
sion opening. This can cause damage to the
refrigerator or create a re hazard.
10. Before removing burner jet, clean burner area of
soot and scale that fell out of ue tube.
11. Remove the burner jet. Soak the jet in wood alco-
hol and blow out with compressed air. Reinstall
and tighten burner jet.
12. Reinstall burner, being careful that the end of the
burner ts into the slot on the burner bracket.
13. Check to make sure the slots are centred under the
ue tube and that the thermocouple is positioned
properly (tip of thermocouple extends over two
slots of burner). Note that the colour of the ame
should be clear blue over the slots of the burner.
