Safety Statements
Do not modify, alter, or equip the refrigerator to the use
of any other fuel (natural gas, butane, etc.). N500/N510
refrigerators are designed and equipped for the use of
LP gas–propane gas–only.
Incorrect installation, adjustment, alteration, or
maintenance of the refrigerator can cause personal
injury, property damage, or both.
Do not smoke, light fires, or create sparks when
working on the propane gas system.
Do not use an open flame for leak testing any of the
propane gas system components. Propane gas is highly
flammable and explosive.
Always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen LP gas
connections. Damaged connections, piping, and
components create the potential for gas leaks.
All electrical connections and repairs to the refrigerator
must comply with all applicable codes. Refer to the
certification and code requirements section of the N500/
N510 Installation Manual for more information.
Do not work on live electrical circuits. Turn off ac power
and dc power sources before attempting to remove,
service, or repair any of the refrigerator's electrical or
electronic components.
Do not modify, bypass, or eliminate any of the
refrigerator's electrical components, electronic circuits,
or propane gas system components.
Do not wet or spray liquids on or near electrical
connections or electronic components. Most liquids,
including leak detection solutions, are electrically
conductive and pose the potential for an electric shock
hazard, short electrical components, damage electronic
circuits, and/or ignite a fire.
Do not use leak test solutions that contain ammonia or
chlorine. Ammonia and chlorine degrade copper and
brass components.
The cooling unit is a sealed system under pressure!
Do not try to repair or recharge the cooling unit. Do not
bend, drop, weld, drill, puncture, saw, or strike the
cooling unit.
Handle a leaking cooling unit with extreme caution!
The cooling unit contains ammonia, hydrogen, and
sodium chromate. Ammonia can cause severe skin and
eye burns. Hydrogen is highly flammable, can ignite,
and burns with an intense flame. Certain chromium
compounds, such as sodium chromate, are
carcinogenic.
Do not use extension cords. Do not remove the
grounding prong from the refrigerator ac power cord. Do
not use a two prong adapter to connect the refrigerator
to the ac outlet.
Do not over-fuse electrical circuits. Use specified fuses
and AWG wire sizes. The "Specifications" section of this
manual provides fuse size information. Refer to the
N500/N510 Installation Manual for the correct AWG
wire size specifications.
Prevent child entrapment! Before disposing of the
refrigerator, remove all doors and fasten all shelves with
retainers.
Some of the refrigerator's metal components have
sharp corners and edges. Wear hand protection, such
as cut-resistant gloves, and exercise extreme care
when handling the refrigerator.
Make sure all hardware, such as hinges and fasteners
(retaining screws, etc.), is properly fastened.
SAFETY AWARENESS
Safety Notice
It is not possible to anticipate all of the conceivable
ways or conditions under which the refrigerator may
be serviced or to provide cautions as to all of the
possible hazards that may result. Standard and
accepted safety precautions and equipment should be
used when working on electrical circuits and handling
toxic or flammable materials. Safety goggles and
other required protection should be used during any
process that can cause material to become airborne,
such as removing a leaking cooling unit and cleaning
components.
