Gas Device Safety TestAfter placing the refrigerator into operation, the gas safety device must be tested. The purpose of the gas safetydevice is to prevent the escape of unburned gas from the burner if the burner flame is extinguished. While thereis a flame present at the burner, turn the refrigerator’s manual shutoff valve to "OFF". Wait 3 minutes and turn themanual shutoff valve to "ON". Follow the Lighting Instructions (do not push the control knob in) and try to ignitethe burner. The flame should not ignite. This test confirms that the safety valve is functioning properly.Burner FlameThe efficiency of your refrigerator while operating inthe gas mode is dependent upon the correct burnerflame. The burner flame provides energy to the refrig-erator’s cooling system.The burner flame efficiency is a function of a) correctinput gas supply pressure, and, b) the burner andburner orifice cleanliness.After installation, the propane supply line from themain tank to the refrigerator must be tested for leaksand for the correct supply pressure.All tests must beperformed by the propane gas supplier or a qualifiedinstaller.A visual inspection check of the burner flame shouldbe made regularly. The flame should be sharp blue witha stable burning appearance (Figure 4). If there is aconstant yellow component observed or if the flameappears erratic or unstable, switch the refrigerator toelectric or turn the refrigerator "OFF", and contact aqualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.120 Volts AC ConnectionWARNING: This refrigerator is designed to operate on a 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz grounded circuit.The refrigerator AC power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug which must matewith a three-prong grounding receptacle to protect against possible shock hazards.
