Securing Refrigerator
After the refrigerator is mounted in place (insuring a

WARNING
flange and hole(s) provided at floor level in the rear
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON
(See Figure 11). Caps are provided to cover the OR NEAR A PROPANE GAS SYSTEM. DO NOT
mounting flange holes. SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME NEAR A PRO-
PANE GAS SYSTEM. LEAKING PROPANE GAS
CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN SE-
VERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
When connecting the gas supply line to the refrig-
erator, use tubing and fittings that comply with local,
state, or national codes governing size and type. All
flexible metal connectors used must comply with the
provisions of the current Standard CAN1-6.10, MET-
AL CONNECTORS FOR GAS APPLIANCES. The
gas connection fitting is located at the inlet to the gas
valve (See Figure 13) and is a 3/8 SAE (UNF 5/8"-
18) male flare connection. Care must be taken when
final tightening of the tubing nut is done that the fit-
ting is held securely. Access to this fitting is through
the lower vent door.
Seal strips, provided with the refrigerator, must be
in position behind the mounting flange after the refrig-
erator is installed in the wall encbsure (See Figure 12).

WARNING
A
CAUTION
USE TWO WRENCHES WHEN TIGHTENING OR
UNTIGHTENING GAS INLET FITTING. FAILURE
TO USE TWO WRENCHES COULD OVER STRESS
TUBING AND CREATE GAS LEAKS.
The gas line should be routed in a manner to limit
the possibility of vibration or abrasion. It is recom-
mended that the gas supply line enter the combus-
tion chamber through the floor which supports the re-
frigerator. The hole size through which the gas line
enters should be of sufficient size that adequate
clearance is maintained. Once the gas line is in-
stalled a rubber type sealant should be applied
around the line at the point it enters the refrigerator
area. This will minimize abrasion, vibration, and
serve as a barrier from external moisture.
Once the gas line has been connected, ALL CON-
NECTIONS must be thoroughly checked for possible
leaks with a soap suds solution. DO NOT TEST FOR
LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
A
CAUTION
THE SEAL MUST BE CONTINUOUS BETWEEN
THE REFRIGERATOR MOUNTING FLANGE AND
WALL TO ASSURE COMBUSTION SEAL. FAILURE DO NOT ALLOW LEAK DETECTION SOLUTIONS TO
TO MAINTAIN THIS SEAL COULD ALLOW EX- COME INTO CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL COM-
HAUST FUMES INTO LIVING QUARTERS. INHAL- PONENTS. MANY SUCH LIQUIDS ARE ELECTRI-
ING EXHAUST FUMES COULD CAUSE DIZZI- CALLY CONDUCTIVE WHICH CAN CAUSE ELEC-
NESS, NAUSEA, OR IN EXTREME CASES, DEATH. TRICAL SHORTS AND IN SOME CASES, FIRES.
