CLEANING THE FLUE AND BURNER
Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably clean and free
of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning
of the burner.
The flue and burner both require cleaning in the following
manner:
Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 230-
1.
240 V AC outlet. Disconnect or shut off the 12 V
DC power to the refrigerator.
Close the gas valve by turning the knob
2.
A
to
“OFF”.
Remove cover from the burner housing.
3.
Disconnect the wire from the high voltage elec-
4.
trode.
Remove the burner mounting screw and remove
5.
the burner assembly.
Lift out the wire and flue baffle from the top of
6.
flue tube.
Clean the flue from the top using a flue brush.
7.
Blowing compressed air into the flue will not prop-
erly clean soot and scale out of the flue tube.
Replace the flue baffle.
8.
Clean burner tube with a brush. Blow out burner
9.
with compressed air.
Before removing burner jet, clean burner area of
10.
soot and scale that fell out of flue tube.
Remove the burner jet. Soak the jet in wood alco-
11.
hol and blow out with compressed air. Reinstall
and tighten burner jet.
Reinstall burner, being careful that the end of the
12.
burner fits into the slot on the burner bracket.
Check to make sure the slots are centred under the
13.
flue tube and that the thermocouple is positioned
properly (tip of thermocouple extends over two
slots of burner). Note that the colour of the flame
should be clear blue over the slots of the burner.
WARNING
Do not use a wire or pin when cleaning the
burner jet as damage can occur to the preci-
sion opening. This can cause damage to the
refrigerator or create a fire hazard.

!
Be sure to reconnect the wire to high voltage
14.
electrode. Check the electrode for proper location
and gap.
