Safety Precautions
Read this manual and become thoroughly acquainted with it before installing or starting the
refrigerator. The following safety precautions and recommendations contained herein are for
your protection.
Improper installation, adjustment, or operation can cause injury or property damage.
The safety symbols used in this manual contain Safety Alert information. Understand their
meanings and be safety conscious.
General
•
Keep the refrigerator and surrounding area clean. Never use the area behind the refrig-
erator for storage; in particular, storing flammable materials (oily rags, paper, aerosol
cans, and chemicals.). Stored materials not only present a safety hazard but could block
the ventilation to the cooling unit.
•
Provide appropriate fire extinguishers installed in convenient locations. Consult your
local fire department for the correct type to use. Do not use foam or water on electrical
fires. Use an extinguisher rated by NFPA.
•
Make sure all fasteners, supports, seals, electrical covers are secure.
LP Gas System
•
LP gas is highly flammable. Gas connections must be leak tight. Do not smoke, create
sparks or use an open flame when checking gas connections. Do not ignore the "rotten
egg" smell of gas fumes.
•
Protect all gas lines from physical damage, vibration, or excessive heat.
•
Insure that the supply gas pressure is within the tolerance specified on the front cover
of this manual. The gas controls are designed for safety. Never tamper with the adjust-
ment or function of the controls other than as directed by the Lighting and Shutdown
Instructions. All repairs must be done by a qualified service person.
Exhaust Gases
•
Proper ventilation to remove exhaust gases is extremely important. These gases, gener-
ated in the GAS mode at the left side and top of the refrigerator, replace the oxygen in
the air and in extreme cases can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This
manual contains installation instructions to safely remove the exhaust gases and seal
the zone from the living area. The installation instructions are certified by American Gas
Association and Canadian Gas Association and must be followed.
•
Check the burner for proper flame characteristics at the initial start-up and at least twice
every year. The information for this check is located in this manual and must be
performed by a qualified service person.
