Unpackaging your Refrigerator
To unpackage your refrigerator cut and re-
move all plastic strapping; remove cardboard
box and edge protectors, then remove plastic bag
covering refrigerator.
Caution
, keep plastic bag
away from children. Dispose of, or recycle
promptly. Proceed by removing packaging tape
from all Styrofoam and cardboard corners, and
remove refrigerator from it’s cardboard/
Styrofoam base. Leave tape from doors in place
until refrigerator is in it’s desired spot. Now
transport unpackaged refrigerator to site. Note: a
padded appliance hand truck is great to move
refrigerator through doors and up or down
stairways. A padded appliance hand truck can be
rented from most appliance retail shops.
Refrigerator Set-up
To set up refrigerator, please follow these
instructions to their entirety.
1.
Gas Connection.
All
Diamond
refrigerators are equipped
with a
⅜
” male flare hook-up. This connec-
tion is located on the back of the refrigerator
towards the bottom, left side. This fitting
does not require the use of any paste, tape,
or liquid sealers. Use a flex line to connect
the refrigerator from the gas source that is
long enough to move the refrigerator away
from the wall to access the rear for service.
Be careful not to over tighten the connec-
tion. The fitting needs only to be snug with a
wrench. Remember to use a backer wrench
when tightening fitting. (See picture
above)It is recommended that you install an
ON/OFF gas valve before the flex line.
2.
Leak Testing
Prior to lighting your refrigerator, you
must check for leaks. This is done by mix-
ing some dish soap
with water and apply-
ing the solution to all
gas fittings with a
toothbrush or paint-
brush then turn on
your gas supply. If
leaks are present, air
bubbles will appear.
Should you find air
bubbles, shut off gas
supply and re-tighten
fitting. Be careful not
to overtighten the fit-
ting. For more information, watch the Di-
amond Maintenance DVD
3.
Gas Pressure
Diamond
propane refrigerators are
designed to operate from an LP gas sup-
ply with a gas pressure of 11” water col-
umn. Have your gas supplier or another
qualified person check this for you.
4.

with LED interior lights. Light may or may
not be used. If you wish to use the light, in-
sert four AA or D batteries (included) into
