5.6 Shutting down the Refrigerator (Fig. D)
The absorption Refrigerator is built to work continuously
for many years. There are no moving parts and thus no
friction. At times, however, it needs to be turned off:
•
When it will not be used for some time - for a few weeks
or more.
•
When there is a large build-up of ice on the evaporator
or in the frozen food storage compartment.
In such cases, the following procedure is recommended:
•
Turn off the gas at the selector (B2) and remove all the
foodstuffs.
•
Remove all the loose components from the
Refrigerator, such as racks, drawers, etc.,
including the batteries for the lighting.
•
Turn the drip pan (D2) around so that the drain hole is
towards the front and place a suitable container under it,
to catch the runoff of melting ice.
•
Leave the doors open until all the ice has melted down
and then remove the container.
The defrost-water from the upper compartment is drained
down through (D5) to the drip pan.
•
Wash the components with water and a mild detergent
and then dry them.
•
Clean the Refrigerator on the inside with a damp cloth
and wipe it dry.
•
Reassemble the components, turning the drip pan to its
normal position.
If the Refrigerator is not to be used for some length of
time, leave the doors ajar and do not reinstall the batteries
in the lighting assembly.
6. Technical description
Before going into the subjects of maintenance and
troubleshooting, we would like to provide a brief
description on the functional units of the gas equipment,
which will make for a better understanding of these items.
6.1 The gas equipment (Fig. C)
The gas connector (C13) is connected to a manual shut
off valve (C12), normally to be left open (handle in
alignment with the gas flow).
The valve (C12) is connected to the combination control
valve (see following item) by a union (C14).
If the Refrigerator is to be removed for maintenance or the
like, close the valve and uncouple the union. The valve will
keep the end of the connector sealed, thus maintaining
the gas supply system operational.
To reconnect the Refrigerator, simply hook-up the union
again, open the valve and use a soap solution to check for
leaks at the union and adjoining fittings. The union should
not be overtightened. Tighten firmly with the hand and
then a further 10 or 20 degrees with an open-end wrench,
or until there are no leaks.
Do not use flame to check for
leakage in the gas tubes.
6.2 First time use
To turn on your Refrigerator use the following procedure:
•
Remove the protective hood from the back of the
Refrigerator.
•
Hook-up the gas supply.
•
Set the thermostat control to the coldest position.
•
Push the (B3) valve
button.
•
Keeping the button pressed, ignite the flame using the
ignite button (B5), do this several times until the flame
is ignited. (Look through the sight-glass (B1) to see the
sparks and the blue flame when ignited).
