Securing the RefrigeratorThe refrigerator can be secured into the enclosure byscrews through the mounting holes provided at the frontof the refrigerator. This will prevent the refrigerator frommoving in transit.Hypot TestsA Dielectric Strength test (Hypot) has been conductedat the factory and the refrigerator does not require anadditional test. If Hypot tests are to be conducted onthe 12 volt circuit, the 12 volts must be disconnectedfrom the refrigerator to protect the flame ignition circuit.Location of Operating ControlsThe refrigerators operating controls are located in acluster above the refrigerator door.Description of Controls(A) Safety ValveThe safety valve is designed so that any loss offlame will stop gas flow to the burner. It is controlledby means of a thermocouple that is positioned in theflame. As long as a flame is detected by thermocou-ple, the valve will remain open. Upon flame failure,the valve closes, shutting off gas flow to burner.During gas ignition process, the safety valve buttonmust be held in until a flame is established at burner.(B) ThermostatThe thermostat controls both the gas and the ACelectric operations, thereby eliminating the necessity ofresetting each time a different power source is se-lected. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to makerefrigerator cabinet colder.(C) 120 Volts AC OperationPressing button (C) selects AC mode of operation.When AC mode is selected and AC voltage is suppliedto refrigerator, the refrigerator will operate on 120 voltsAC.(D) 12 Volts DC OperationPressing button (D) selects DC mode of operation.When DC is selected and DC is available to refrigerator,the refrigerator will operate at full cooling power. TheDC operation is a continuous run (no thermostat con-trol) mode.(E) Gas OperationPressing button (E) selects Gas mode of operation.The refrigerator is equipped with electronic ignition.When gas mode is selected, the electronic ignitionis energized and sparking is generated at burner(Note: Push safety valve button in and hold untilflame is present at burner). Sparking will continueuntil a flame is present at burner. When a flame issensed by the electronic ignition module, thesparking ceases and flame indicator (G) illumi-nates indicating refrigerator is operating on gas.(F) OffPressing button (F) will interrupt all power sources andcease operation of refrigerator.Lighting and Start-Up InstructionsThe Lighting and Start-Up Instructions are located onthe top portion of the interior door liner.Refer to Figure 5 for location of the operating controls.Notice: When warm humid weather conditions are ob-served, operate the refrigerator on either AC orDC electric for a minimum of five (5) minutesbefore attempting to follow the Start-Up Instruc-tions for Gas operation.Gas OperationDo not hold gas valve in more than 30 seconds. If theflame is not indicated within this time, press selectorswitch (F), wait 2 minutes, and retry. Continuing to holdthe gas valve in will cause gas to build up in the burnerarea and can result in an explosion which can causeproperty damage or severe personal injury.1. Set thermostat (B) to the start setting.2. Press mode selector button (E). Ignition sparkwill be present at the burner.3. Push and hold the safety valve button (A) untilthe indicator lamp (G) glows steady. Continueto hold the safety valve button in for 15 secondsand then release. The indicator lamp shouldremain a steady glow. If the lamp turns off, wait2 minutes, repeat this step.A B CDEFGFigure 5WARNING7
