that described for removal, taking care to remake the

gas connections soundly, and not forgetting to refit

the flue baffle.

gas and electrical supplies, and check for gas leaks.

Light the burner and check the appearance of the

flame to ensure that it is predominantly blue (when

the thermostat is at "HIGH"), then leave the

refrigerator on "test" for at least an hour.

before calling a service technician:
A. Instructions for STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR,

Section C, have been followed.

B. The refrigerator is level.

connected sources of energy.

D. If the refrigerator fails to work on GAS, check:

That the gas bottle is not empty.

2)

That all LP Gas valves in the supply line to the

refrigerator are open.

NOTE: The following checks should be performed

only by a qualified technician.

3)

That sparks are generated by the piezo ignitor.

4)

(A, in FIG. 8).

refrigerator.

2)

(partial blockage of grilles from wire mesh, etc.).

2)

The evaporator is frosted up.

3)

The temperature control setting is incorrect.

The gas pressure is incorrect. Check the

pressure regulator.

7)

The door is not properly closed or the magnetic
