GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This
appliance Is designed for storage of foods and storage
of frozen foods and making ice.
The refrigerators outlined have been design certified under ANS
/Z21.19a-1984. Refrigerators, by the American Gas Association,
and are also approved by the Canadian Gas Association.
The certifications are, however, contingent on the installation
being made in accordance with the following instructions as
applicable.
The Installation must in the USA conform with:
1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1-1984.
2. Any applicable local code.
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 when installed if
an external alternating current electrical source is utilized.
The installation must in Canada conform
Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual
gas valve, whiih is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF 3/8" 18) male
flare connection. All completed connections should be checked
for leaks with soapy water.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator to
maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water
gage.
When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psi9 the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When testing the gas supply system at pressures less or equal 1/2
psig the applii must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and connection to
the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or distributor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
120 Volts AC
The refrigerator is equipped with a three prong (grounded) plug
for protection against shock hazards and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. The cord
should be routed to avoid coming in contact with the burner cover
flue cover or other hot components.
1. Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes.
2. Any applicable local code.
The unit must be electrically grounded in
accordence with the current
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C22
Pans 1 and 2.
Free-standing models for floor installation
only
Ensure that there is a free space of at least 4 in. (10 cm) above
the refrigerator and see that the ventilation opening on top of the
cabinet is not covered in any way.
Do not place the refrigerator in a space where air circulation is
restricted.
A clearance of at least 25 mm should be left between the rear
and sides of the refrigerator and the surrounding walls.
This free-standing refrigerator requires accessibility to the back
for servicing the gas equipment. If allowed by the Local Authori-
ties, the accessibility can be obtained by using a certified Flexi-
ble Metal Connector of Gas Hose Assembly which would allow
the refrigerator to be withdrawn without disrupting the gas sup-
ply. 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 16x20” should be provided in the
wall to allow access to the back of the refrigerator.
Feet
Some of the freestanding models come with 4 plastic feet.
These feet should be mounted on the underside to ensure free
air circulation around the cooling unit.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearances in inches to combustible materials are:
G: Top 4 Clearance M between the rearmost part
K: Side 1 of the refrigerator and the wall
L: Bottom 0 behind the refrigerator.
M: Rear 1
SPECIAL HINTS
Note. Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting.
Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel
beneath the appliance which extends at least full width and
depth of the appliance.
The refrigerator must be installed in level. A spirit level is supplied
with each refrigerator.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before working on the refrigerator make sure that 120 V A. C.
leads are disconnected. Shut the gas valve. Unscrew the hex-
agon nut 24 and move the valve on the gas line out off the
bracket. Check that the valve slips out of the clip connection with
the switch shaft. After reassembly the gas connection should be
checked for leaks with soapy water.
TEST OF THE GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF
The
gas safety shutoff device must be tested after the refrigera-
tor is placed in operation.
Do as follow:
1. Start the refrigerator according to the instruction for gas opera-
tion with piezo igniter (fig. 4).
2. Check that the gas flame is lit. This can be observed through
the reflector E.
3. Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to position
“OFF”.
4. Wait 1 minute.
5. Remove cover plate, see (26) in fig. 2. Open the gas valve by
turning the knob A to position “GAS’ without pushing the
button C and D. Test that no gas comes through the jet, item 3
in fig. 1 or 2. Use soapy water. Be careful not to damage the
jet.
6. After test rinse the jet with water. Once more be careful not to
damage the jet. Assamble the cover plate. Start the refrigera-
tor by following the instruction for gas operation.
Normal gas operation should now return. Operate for
at least 5 minutes.
