After the refrigerator has been connected, all accessible connectons
should be checked for soundness by applying a soap/water solution
over them and watching for bubbles with, of course, the bas-bottle
and any gas cocks in the line, turned on. DO NOT USE A FLAME.
Thereafter, all connections should be checked periodically, in the
same way, to ensure that they have not loosened in use.
14. INTRODUCTION
To ensure satisfactory operation, it is essential that the refrigerator is
installed and used as directed in this instruction booklet. The
ventilation openings above and below the refrigerator must not be
reduced in size or obstructed in any way otherwise the performance
of the cooling unit may be impaired.
Levelling
When the refrigerator is operating, liquid refrigerant trickles
theough the pipework of the cooling unit under the influence of
gravity. To enable a satisfactory flow to take place, the unit must
be reasonably level, from side to side and from front to back,
otherwise refrigerant can accumulate in pockets instead of
flowing back to the bottom, and the cooling process may be
impaired or cease.
