Refrigerator Care Checklist
Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:
- Keep the food compartment and the frozen compartment clean. See “Cleaning”.
- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.
- Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.
- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or LP gas control changes. If changes occur, contact
your dealer or an authorized Service Center.
- Make sure the gas supply is Universal LP gas only.
- When in LP gas operation, examine the appearance of the flame. See “LP Gas Flame Appearance”.
- Make sure the air flow in the lower intake vent, through the refrigerator condenser and coils and out the upper exhaust vent is not
blocked or decreased.
- Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do not use the area behind the refrigerator for storage of any materials,
especially gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Defrosting
The cooling fins of the refrigerator operate at less than 0°C and will naturally form frost from humidity, which is always present in the air.
The humidity inside the refrigerator increases:
- with higher outside temperature and humidity.
- with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.
- with the amount of time that the door(s) are open.
- with any air leakage into the refrigerator.
It is normal for frost to collect inside the frozen compartment. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
Defrost the refrigerator and frozen compartment as necessary:
- Remove all items from the refrigerator.
- Turn the refrigerator OFF.
Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Remove the drain hose from the drip cup at the rear of the refrigerator (N414 and N514 models only).
- Put the drain hose into a two liter or larger container to capture water (N414 and N514 models only).
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator and frozen compartment to absorb melted frost.
High temperatures can cause the inside surfaces of the refrigerator to warp or melt. Do not use pans of
HOT water, a hair dryer, or any other high temperature devices to defrost the refrigerator. Do not use any
hard or sharp objects to remove frost. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.
- To increase the speed of defrosting, put pans of WARM water in the refrigerator and frozen compartment.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.
- Remove the drain hose from the large container and put the drain hose back into the drip cup (N414 and N514 models only).
- Remove the large container from the enclosure.
- Start up the refrigerator.
- Allow the refrigerator to cool down.
- Return all food to the refrigerator.
