INSTALLATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTION

This appliance is designed for storage of foods and

storage of frozen foods and making ice.

The refrigerators outlined herein have been design cer-

tified by A.G.A. under the ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator Stan-

dard  for  installation  in  a  mobile  home  or  recreational

vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Asso-

ciation.

The certifications are, however contingent on the instal-

lation being made in accordance with the following in-

structions as applicable.

In the U.S.A., the installation must conform with:

1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - (latest

edition).

2. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety

Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 3280.

3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI A119.2 - (latest

edition).

The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance

with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - (latest

edition) when installed, if an external alternating current

electrical source is utilized.

4. Any applicable local code.

In CANADA, the installation must conform with:

1. Current CAN/CGA B149 Gas Installation Codes
2. Current CSA Standard Z240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED

RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE

HOUSING.

3. Where a flexible metal connector is used, it must

comply with the provisions of the current Standard

CAN1-6.10, METAL CONNECTORS FOR GAS

APPLIANCES.

4. Any applicable local code
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance

with the current CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C22

Parts 1 and 2.

VENTILATION

The installation shall be made in such a manner as to

separate the combustion system from the living space

of the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Openings

for air supply or for venting of combustion products shall

have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.

Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake

and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown

in  this  instruction  manual  have  been  certified  for  use

with the refrigerator models listed in the Table.

For 

“Certified Vent System Kits”

 

see page 15.

The ventilation kits must be installed and used without

modification. An opening toward the outside at floor level

in  the  refrigerator  compartment  must  be  provided  for

ventilation of heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent

of the recommended kits is provided with proper size

openings. The flow of combustion and ventilating air must

not be obstructed.

The lower side vent is fitted with a panel, which pro-

vides an adequate access opening for ready service-

ability of the burner and control manifold of the refrig-

erator. This should be centered on the back of the re-

frigerator.

GAS CONNECTION

Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the

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

(UNF 5/8" -18) male flare connection. All completed con-

nections should be checked for leaks with soapy water.

DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.

The  gas  supply  system  must  incorporate  a  pressure

regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than

11 inches water column.

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 system by closing its indi-

vidual manual shutoff valve.

In case detailed instructions on the installation and con-

nection  to  the  gas  supply  are  required,  contact  your

dealer or distributor.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
120 Volts AC Connection

The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (ground-

ing) plug for your protection against shock hazards and

should  be  plugged  directly  into  a  properly  grounded

three-prong  receptacle.  DO  NOT  cut  or  remove  the

grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the

cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended that the re-

ceptacle be located to the left side of the refrigerator

(viewed from the rear) and approximately 6 inches from

the floor (see FIG. 3). This allows easy access through

the vent door. The cord should be routed to avoid direct

contact with the burner cover, flue cover or any other

components that could damage the cord insulation.
