out 5-7 tim es and push in to spring pressure point.
6. Pull knob "C ” all the way out again, turn slowly to “ OPEN”
position to let gas flow through evacuated gas line.
7. Hold knob “ C" in “ OPEN” position and firm ly push in several
times. You will hear an a u dible click as soon as the pilot light

needle remains in the green field, a therm ocouple maintains
control of the gas flow autom atically.
After a few m inutes, assure yourself once more that the pilot
light is burning. You can see it through the sight glass in
the lower lefthand corner of the rear wall inside the re
frigerator. Should the pilot light go out unexpectedly, the
therm ocouple will autom atically shut off the gas flow. Check

must be returned manually. The therm ocouple can function
only with knob “ C ” in neutral.
W hen gas refrigeration is not needed, turn GAS knob “ F” to
“ O FF” .
