IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY

SECTION A. INSTALLATION

1.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is designed for storage of foods and storage of frozen foods and making ice.

The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified by A.G.A. under ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator Standard for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Association.

The certifications are, however, contingent on the installation being made in accordance with the following instructions as applicable.

In the U.S.A., the installation must conform with:

1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition)

2. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,

Title 24 CFR, Part 3280

3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI A119.2-(latest edition). The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with

the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-(latest edition) when installed if an external alternating current electrical source is utilized.

4. Any applicable local code.

The lower side vent is fitted with a panel which provides an adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be centered on the back of the refrigerator.

3.CERTIFIED INSTALLATION

Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower side vent.

For certified vent system kits, see Section B.

For further information, contact your dealer or distributor.

4. METHOD OF INSTALLATION

The method of installation is shown in FIG. 1. It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are strictly maintained as the performance of the refrigerator is dependent on adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator.

NOTE: The upper vent should be centered over the condenser coil at the back of the refrigerator.

In Canada, the installation must conform with:

1. Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes

2. Current CSA Standard Z 240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED REC-

REATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUSING

3. Any applicable local code The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C 22 Parts 1 and 2.

2.VENTILATION

The installation shall be made in such a manner as to separate the combustion system from the living space of the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Openings in lower side vent for air supply or for venting of combustion products shall have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.

Proper installation requires one fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this instruction manual have been certified for use with the refrigerator model listed in the Table. For "Certified Vent System Kits" see Section B. The ventilation kits must be installed and used without modification. An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator compartment must be provided for ventilation of heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with proper size openings. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

7. INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN

ENCLOSURE

NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting.

Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least the full width and depth of the appliance.

INSTALLATION: The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, be certain there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose. Also apply a sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure and apply a second sealing strip to the bottom of the trim strip on the front base as shown in FIG. 4. The sealing should provide complete isolation of the appliance's combustion system from the vehicle interior. The dimensions shown in FIG. 3 will give you adequate

FIG. 5

(One each Side)

FIG. 4

space for service and proper installation. NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to

the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place. The refrigerator is secured in the enclosure with six screws

and they must be installed in the following order:

First Two Screws installed on front base; Second Two Screws installed in the top frame; Third Two Screws installed in the rear base.

8.GAS CONNECTION

Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF 5/8" – 18) male flare connection. All completed connections should be checked for leaks with an approved bubble solution. (See FIG. 6 – Gas tubing may have a different orientation than shown).

W ARNING

DO NOT USE A FLAME

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 13-1/2 inches water column, (static) no load.

LP GAS CYLINDER

PRESSURE REGULATOR

TO REFRIGERATOR

Failure to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet. The plastic caps are snapped in the front base to cover the screw heads and the decoration strip is secured to top frame. (See FIG. 5). Any space between the counter storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.

When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig, 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 than or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping 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.
