2.3 Installing the Refrigerator

This Refrigerator must be installed in accordance with
local codes or installation must comply with:

•

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 in the USA.

•

Installation Code for Propane Burning Appliances and

Equipment CAN/CGA B149 in Canada.

•

This Refrigerator is only designed for domestic use.

It is your total responsibility if you intend to use it in a
trailer.

To ensure uninterrupted operation, we recommend that
the gas supply system be fed from two gas cylinders, with
an automatic switchover device. The specified fuel is
propane and the supply pressure must be 11 inches
(280mm) water column. The Refrigerator must be
connected with copper or other acceptable tubing of
sufficient diameter to avoid a pressure drop of more than
one inch (25 mm) water gauge up to the Refrigerator inlet,
even with other gas-operated appliances (such as water
heaters, and stoves) operating from the same system.

•

The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3,5 kPa).

•

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual shut off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).

To install the Refrigerator:

•

If necessary, install a metal or wood panel over the floor

as recommended in item 2.1. (b).

•

Disassemble the burner box (C8).

•

Place the Refrigerator in its definite position. Turn the

bolts until the Refrigerator is level. Remove it again from
its location.

•

Connect the gas supply to the manual shut off valve

(C12). Use a certified flexible type metal connector of
sufficient length.

•

Connect a pressure gauge at the plug (F5) ot the

controls.

Now check the operation:

•

Operate the Refrigerator according to the instructions

(E6) and allow it to work for at least 30 minutes.

•

During this period, check the connections for leaks, from

the gas inlet to the orifice spud, using a detergent and
water solution.

•

Check the reading of the pressure gauge. With no other

gas appliance operating it should not pass 11” water
gauge. With other appliances operating it should not fall
below 10”.

•

With a mirror (H7) beneath the flame tube (H4), make

sure that the flame color is blue. It should not reach the
tip of the baffle (H5), which will normally be slightly
aglow.

•

Turn off the gas at the control (B3) leaving the manual

shut off valve (C12) open. Replace the plug (F5).

•

Replace the burner box (C8).
