9. TESTING LP GAS SAFETY
SHUTOFF
The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the refrigerator
is connected to LP gas supply.
To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:
A. Start the refrigerator according to the instructions, with
120 volts AC disconnected. See " Section C. Operation
Instructions."
B. Check that the gas flame is lit. In Auto mode, the Auto
mode indicator lamp (A) is on. See FIG. 10.
C. Close the manual shutoff valve at the back of the
refrigerator. (See FIG. 6)
D. Wait for one minute. The check indicator lamp (B) should
now be lit and the gas flame extinguished.
E. Remove cover and open the manual gas valve. Apply a
noncorrosive commercial bubble solution to burner jet
(see FIG. 6).
F. No bubbles should appear at the opening of the burner jet.
The presence of bubbles indicates a defective gas safety
shutoff, and service is required.
G. If no bubbles were present at the burner jet, the gas
safety valve is working properly. Rinse jet thoroughly
with fresh water before proceeding. Be careful not to
damage burner jet. Replace cover and turn the main
switch (1) OFF and back ON. (See "
Section C. Operation
Instructions, Item 2. Control Panel"). Normal operation of
the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate for
a minimum of 5 minutes.
WARNING
DO NOT use a flame to check for leaks.
10. 120 VOLT AC ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounded)
plug for protection against shock hazards, and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong recep-
tacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug. The power cord should be routed to avoid direct contact
with the burner cover, flue cover or manual gas shutoff valve
knob. The free length of the cord is two feet and therefore
recommended that the receptacle be located to the left side
of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately
six inches from the floor (see FIG. 7). This allows easy
access through the vent door.

11. 12 VOLT DC CONNECTION
This refrigerator model requires a 12 volt DC power source
to operate the automatic energy system (even though it is
designed to operate on 120 volts AC and gas). The DC lead
connections are at terminals located at the rear of the
refrigerator. (See FIG. 6). One lead is marked positive (+)
and the other negative (–). Correct polarity must be observed
when connecting to the DC supply.
