Heat Shield
Installation
For best performance at high ambient temperatures, there must be free air
circulation over the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator.
Ensure that there is a free air space above the refrigerator and that the flue (chimney)
on top of the cabinet is not covered in any way. Do not place the refrigerator in a
space where air circulation is restricted. Follow “clearance” instructions.
This free-standing refrigerator requires accessibility to the back for servicing the gas
equipment, which can be obtained by using a certified Flexible Metal Connector to
allow the refrigerator to be withdrawn without disrupting the gas supply. Where a
flexible metal connector is used, it must comply with local authorities and in Canada
with the provisions of the current Standard CAN 1-6.10, Metal Connectors for Gas
Appliances. However, if the Local Authorities require a rigid gas supply connector,
the refrigerator should be located with sufficient space at the back for servicing or, if
located against a wall a removable panel of a minimum size of 16” x 20” should be
provided in the wall to allow access to the rear of the refrigerator. If you purchased a
CM (CO Monitor model) you must follow instructions in Section 6 - 5.0 onward.
Heat Shield
The heat shield must be installed before operating
the appliance. This is a CSA requirement.
Un-wrap the heat shield (located inside the box
along with the appliance). Mount heat shield with
the screws (supplied) to left side of the fridge. See
diagram.
