B. SECURING REFRIGERATOR IN

ENCLOSURE

The refrigerator is installed in the enclosure with eight

screws. Six screws are in the front frame and two are in

the plate on the rear. See FIG. 5.

NOTE: Push refrigerator into enclosure until front frame

is tight against the cabinet. First, secure the frame to

cabinet with six screws. Second, install the two screws

to the floor at the rear of the refrigerator.

Failure to follow the sequence in securing the refrigerator

in the enclosure can cause leakage between the frame

and cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage

area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator should be

blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator

will become trapped in this space, making the top of the

refrigerator hot and reducing the efficiency.

The dimensions shown in FIG. 3 will give you adequate

space for service and proper installation.

8. GAS CONNECTION

Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the

manual gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8"

SAE (UNF 5/8" - 18) male flare connection. Always use

a backup wrench when connecting the gas supply line to

the gas inlet fitting. All completed connections should be

checked for leaks with a noncorrosive leak detector.

(See FIG. 6 - Gas inlet fitting may have a different orien-

tation than shown).

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure

regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than

13.5 inches water column, static (no load).

When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in

excess of 1/2 psig, the refrigerator and its individual

shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system.

When testing the gas supply system at pressures less

than or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated

from the gas supply piping by closing its individual

manual shutoff valve.

In case detailed instructions on the installation and

connection to the gas supply are required, contact your

dealer or distributor.
